  • The practice has gone from strength to strength since opening and is now an extremely successful business, having built a fantastic reputation within their local community providing a first-class service and consistently receiving 5-star reviews from their loyal and ever-growing client base.
  • The practice has been expanded and refurbished with a new building and equipment that offers a lovely bright and airy environment to work in with all the equipment you’d expect from a solid GP practice, in addition to separate cat and dog wards and two theatres. 
  • Their owner holds an AVP certificate in surgery, with a special interest in orthopaedics and minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery.
  • As well as being supported by the owner, they also have an outstanding team of nurses with their clinical team also supported by an equally brilliant and welcoming team of 5 client care advisors as well as their Practice Manager, RVN, and Mental Health First Aider.

Role: Our clients' RCVS-accredited small animal training practice has an excellent opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join their inclusive, friendly, and supportive team!

  • The owner is a tremendous support to the team with plenty of regular catch-ups during the week to discuss cases, and clinical meetings also held every 6 to 8 weeks.  

Hours: The hours are flexible and they are happy to discuss these around what you’re looking for to achieve a good balance between home and work but the role will include a shared weekend rota of 1 in 3 Saturdays, which is kept to routine appointments with no-ops.
