About this role

This is a permanent Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon role, with 30 to 37 hours per week across a 4-day rota, plus 1:4 Saturday mornings from 9am to 2pm. There are no OOH and no bank holidays, giving you a working pattern that is genuinely sustainable.

Your role will include a varied mix of consultations and surgical procedures, with the clinical freedom to work up your own cases and make thoughtful decisions for your patients. There will be some sole-charge shifts, so this role will suit a vet who is comfortable in general practice and enjoys a balanced combination of autonomy and team support.

You will also have the opportunity to support and mentor vet students when they are on site, contributing to a learning-focused environment where development is encouraged and shared.

About you

You are likely to be:

• Friendly, supportive and team-focused in the way you work
• Comfortable communicating clearly with clients and colleagues
• Confident with a balance of consults, surgery and occasional sole charge
• Interested in contributing to a positive, cohesive practice culture
• Experienced in small-animal general practice
• RCVS registered
