No OOH | Surgical Variety | 4-Day Week | Supportive, Sociable Team

We're working with a long-established, community-focused practice in Maldon, Essex, who are looking to welcome an experienced small animal vet to their friendly, collaborative team.

This is a great opportunity for a confident vet who enjoys a varied caseload and is keen to continue developing their skills in a well-equipped and supportive setting. The team is made up of experienced nurses, receptionists, and vets (including a visiting cert holder in surgery), creating a strong clinical environment with space for growth and autonomy.

What’s on offer:

  • Flexible working patterns – full-time (4 days) or part-time considered

  • 1 in 4 weekend rota (no OOH – emergencies referred externally)

  • Broad medical and surgical caseload, including soft tissue and emergency ops

  • Clinical freedom and CPD actively encouraged

  • Sociable, close-knit team with regular clinical and social catch-ups

  • Well-equipped site with in-house lab, ultrasound, digital x-ray, and multiparameter monitoring

Package includes:

  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • CPD allowance + paid RCVS, VDS, BVA
  • Pension scheme
  • 224 hours annual leave (increasing with service)
  • Closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day
  • Staff discounts across wider group brands

Location:
Set in the historic riverside town of Maldon, the practice offers the best of both worlds – relaxed, scenic living with great access to Chelmsford, the A12, and central London. The area is ideal for outdoor lovers and professionals seeking balance.

If you’re an experienced vet looking for a new challenge in a genuinely supportive environment, this one’s worth a look. Get in touch with Sophie for more details by sending a CV via APPLY or email directly to sophie@lloydandcowan.com.
