Veterinary Surgeon – East Devon
Independent Practice | No OOH | Up to £65k | Flexible Hours

I’m working with an independent small animal practice based in East Devon, within reach of the stunning SW Coast, who are looking to add a vet to their growing team.

They’re a well-run, supportive clinic known for high clinical standards and a genuinely kind, no-pressure approach to vetting. The team includes experienced vets (including a CertAVP holder), skilled RVNs and a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.

The Role:

  • No out-of-hours
  • Open to full or part-time (1–4 days/week)
  • 20-minute consults and a mix of consults and surgery
  • Salary from £45k–£65k depending on experience
  • Modern equipment including laparoscopic kit, digital X-ray, ultrasound, capnography and more
What’s on Offer:
  • £1500 CPD budget
  • RCVS, VDS, and an additional membership paid
  • Clinical freedom and time to do things properly
  • Flexible start date (ideally summer-autumn 2025)

They’re looking for someone with 4+ years’ experience, confident with routine surgery and diagnostics, and who enjoys working as part of a friendly, collaborative team.

This could suit someone local or open to relocating for the right role, the lifestyle and scenery in this part of Devon are a big bonus.

If it sounds like a good fit, just drop me a message and I’ll talk you through next steps. Get in touch with Sophie by sending a CV via APPLY or email sophie@lloydandcowan.com.
