Veterinary Surgeon – Maternity Cover

I’m working with a fantastic, progressive veterinary team that’s looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join them on a maternity cover contract. This role offers genuine variety, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a real difference every day.

You’ll be working a 4-day week with 1 in 6 full weekends, giving you a great work-life balance. The practice is well-equipped with digital x-ray, in-house lab, ultrasound, and two theatres, and you’ll be supported by a skilled nursing team, a dedicated front-of-house, and a proactive Practice Manager — allowing you to focus fully on your clinical work.

This position would suit someone confident in first-opinion practice, ideally with an interest or experience in ultrasound, and who enjoys working collaboratively within a close-knit team.

You’ll also benefit from:

  • 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with service, plus an extra ‘Day for You’

  • £1,500 CPD allowance with 3 days’ paid CPD leave and funded certificates

  • VDS, RCVS, and BVA fees paid

  • Cycle to Work scheme

  • Visa sponsorship and relocation support, if required

If you’re looking for a rewarding role in a supportive, forward-thinking environment where you’ll feel valued from day one, I’d love to hear from you.
Contact me, Emily, at emily@lloydandcowan.com for a confidential chat.

If this role isn’t quite right for you but you know someone who would be a great fit, refer them to me and receive a £250 referral bonus if they’re successfully placed.
