Are you a compassionate and dedicated Vet Surgeon with a desire to make a real impact in the lives of pets and their owners? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team.

About Us:We are a thriving independent veterinary practice that has been proudly serving the community for the past 4 years. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality care to small animals, building lasting relationships with pet owners, and ensuring the health and well-being of the animals we care for. As an independent practice, we offer a close-knit, supportive atmosphere where everyone’s contribution is valued. We're looking for a Vet Surgeon who shares our passion for veterinary medicine and wants to join us in making a difference in the lives of pets.

The Role:As a Vet Surgeon at our practice, you will be responsible for delivering excellent care to a wide range of small animals. You’ll handle a mix of routine consultations and surgeries, with an average of 20 consultations and 2 operations per day. You’ll have the chance to make your own clinical decisions and enjoy a great deal of autonomy in your day-to-day practice, with the opportunity to eventually take on sole charge responsibility as you grow in your role.
We are looking for someone who is confident and comfortable with consultations and general veterinary care. Whether you are newly qualified or have years of experience, we welcome applications from candidates who are keen to develop and expand their skills. As the role will eventually involve sole charge, it’s important that you feel comfortable working independently and taking responsibility for a variety of clinical cases.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Providing high-quality care to a wide variety of small animals
  • Conducting consultations, diagnosing, and treating conditions
  • Performing routine surgeries and medical procedures
  • Offering advice and support to pet owners, building lasting relationships
  • Managing a varied caseload of both routine and emergency cases
  • Potential for sole charge responsibility in the future, depending on your level of experience and comfort
What We’re Looking For:
  • You should be comfortable with consultations and have a strong passion for animal care
  • Experience is important, but we welcome all levels—whether you’re newly qualified or an experienced Vet Surgeon, we want you to feel confident in your role
  • A genuine love for small animal veterinary practice
  • Someone who is keen to grow, learn, and take on new challenges as part of a dynamic team
  • You should be open to the opportunity to work in sole charge in the future, with the necessary support from the team as you progress
Why Join Us?
  • Independence & Autonomy – As part of an independent practice, you’ll have more control over your clinical decisions and enjoy a greater sense of ownership in the work you do.
  • Supportive Team – Join a close-knit and collaborative team where your professional development is a top priority.
  • Work-Life Balance – With flexible shift patterns and the potential for full-time hours (4-5 days per week), you’ll have a healthy work-life balance.
  • Great Salary & Benefits – A competitive salary of up to £65,000, along with 5.6 weeks of annual leave, bank holidays, and a pension scheme to support your long-term goals.
  • Career Development – Whether you're looking to take on more sole charge responsibilities or expand your surgical skills, we’re committed to helping you develop your career.
