Looking for a role where you can thrive clinically, feel valued as an individual, and enjoy true work-life balance? This independent group in Norfolk is offering just that.

With a state-of-the-art hospital and a modern GP practice just 10 minutes from each other, the team has built a reputation for delivering outstanding veterinary care while putting people first. They believe that when their team is supported and happy, patients and clients receive the very best.

What makes this different?

  • Consults that give you time: 20 minutes for routine, 40 minutes for everything else

  • Protected breaks: an hour for lunch every day, plus dedicated time for follow-ups

  • Investment in people: private healthcare from day one, a strong mental health support package, and uncapped CPD (certificates fully supported)

  • Independence, not corporate: a team of 60 who work collaboratively, with no sales targets and a genuine focus on care

  • Outstanding facilities: 10,000 sq. ft. hospital with CT, Karl Storz scopes, Idexx lab, digital x-ray, ultrasound, and advanced surgical kit including TPLO and total hip replacement

The role:

  • Consults, investigations, and first-opinion surgery across both hospital and GP settings

  • A share of weekends and nights, fairly rota’d, with allowances and proper recovery time (55 days leave when combined with holidays and night recovery)

  • Opportunity to mentor graduates, pursue certificates, or shape your career in a direction that excites you

Who they’re looking for:

  • A Veterinary Surgeon with 2+ years’ experience

  • Comfortable with a varied caseload and committed to clinical excellence

  • A positive, collaborative team player with great communication skills

  • Someone who values both professional development and balance outside of work

This is a chance to join a practice that truly does things differently — where individuality is embraced, support is real, and career growth is encouraged.
