A Role Designed for Balance, Support and Exceptional Clinical Growth

I’m excited to be partnering with a well-established small-animal practice that is now looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join the team on a part-time basis. If you’re seeking a position that blends autonomy with outstanding clinical support, this opportunity may be exactly what you’ve been searching for.

About the Role

This is a two-day-per-week position, offering the ideal blend of independent practice and collaborative work. One day will be sole charge, while the other allows for crossover with an experienced senior clinician who knows the client base inside out.

Your rota will also include:

  • A light weekend rotation

  • Occasional supported hospital shifts, following a structured induction

  • Access to a dedicated emergency and critical care team for out-of-hours cases

You’ll have the reassurance of a highly experienced nursing team at your side, strong operational guidance from a long-standing regional manager, and on-hand clinical support when you want a second opinion. Complex cases can be referred easily to a nearby 24-hour hospital equipped with advanced imaging, surgical expertise and a stable night team.

The surrounding area offers excellent transport links, great amenities for your downtime, and quick access to green space when you want a breather from city life.

What You’ll Receive

This role comes with a carefully curated package designed to support your professional growth, financial wellbeing and day-to-day enjoyment of practice. You can expect:

  • Competitive salary (£45,000–£61,000 FTE) with room to grow

  • A generous holiday allowance

  • Substantial CPD funding and dedicated learning days to develop your clinical interests

  • Private healthcare coverage, giving you excellent access to medical support

  • Fully funded professional memberships and licensing

  • Wellbeing resources, including confidential mental health support

  • Attractive staff discounts, both within clinical services and external partner schemes

Everything is designed to help you feel supported, valued and able to focus on delivering excellent veterinary care.
