Part-Time Veterinary Surgeons – 2 Vet Job Share

Looking for part-time work without compromising on clinical standards or caseload? This hospital-based opportunity in South Yorkshire could be the answer — and it’s designed with flexibility in mind.

We’re helping a large and well-equipped small animal hospital bring in two part-time vets to job share on the first-opinion day team. Whether you’re returning from a break, balancing family life, or simply prefer fewer hours with more focus.

Here’s what you’d be stepping into:

  • A busy, collaborative hospital with CT, endoscopy, ortho/neuro, and chemo capabilities

  • A big, supportive team — 14 vets, 24 RVNs, on-site OOH cover

  • A rota designed around your availability — 2 or 3 days/week, short shifts, or even alternating weeks, whatever works for both sides

You’ll be:

  • A vet with at least 2 years’ experience, confident with routine consults and surgery

  • Someone who enjoys being part of a wider clinical team and wants to see cases through

  • Looking for work-life balance without stepping out of a dynamic clinical setting

On offer: 

  • Salary: Pro rata from £45,000–£65,000 FTE (based on experience)

  • CPD allowance

  • Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)

  • Flexible working patterns

  • On-site parking, friendly team, hospital environment
