The Opportunity

• Dedicated dental suite, with dental X-ray coming soon
• Orthopaedic equipment
• Flexiscope in development
• Separate cat and dog waiting areas
• Strong nurse-led workflow and case handovers

With 15-minute consultations and excellent nursing support, the practice prioritises quality clinical care without compromising client communication.

The Rota

The practice offers a genuinely attractive work-life balance:

• 10-hour shifts: 8:30am-6:30pm or 9:30am-7:30pm
• No weekends or bank holidays
• 1-hour lunch breaks
• Part-time considered
• Cases requiring referral are passed to referral services

What They're Looking For

• 3+ years' UK small animal experience
• RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
• Confident with sole charge
• Comfortable with consultations and routine surgery
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Calm, collaborative approach
• Medical, imaging or surgical interests welcomed

Salary & Benefits

• £50,000-£70,000 DOE
• Senior/Lead Vet opportunities up to £75,000
• 5 weeks' annual leave including bank holidays
• Birthday off
• Generous CPD allowance
• RCVS fees paid
