A thriving practice in Dorchester, Dorset, is seeking a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join their expanding team due to the relocation of a current team member. This is an excellent opportunity to work your passion with flexibility and a great work-life balance in a purpose-built practice.

The Role:

  • The ideal candidate will be experienced and confident with routine neutering, procedures, and emergency and critical care.

  • Regular team meetings are held to discuss issues and how to progress patient and client care, with an open and flexible approach the rest of the time.

The Team:

You will be working alongside an experienced and forward-thinking team, including the Clinical Lead and Practice Owner, a strong nursing team, and four incredible receptionists. The team is always seeking new ideas to further develop the practice and provide the best levels of clinical care and client service possible.

Benefits:

  • Salary of £50,000 to £70,000 FTE, commensurate with experience
  • 5.6 weeks' annual leave as standard (pro-rata for part-time)
  • RCVS and VDS memberships are paid, with the opportunity to have one other membership paid
  • Life Assurance 4 x Annual Salary
  • Contributory Pension Scheme
  • Dedicated CPD allowance, including support towards Certificates
  • Relocation Allowance
  • Cycle to Work Scheme
