Veterinary Surgeon | Hospital-Level Caseload | CT & Endoscopy On Site | Up to £80,000
Looking for a role that offers more complex cases, excellent clinical support, and genuine opportunities to develop your skills?
This busy and well-established veterinary hospital in Essex is looking to welcome an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to its large and highly skilled team.
With a team of 13 vets, experienced RVNs, dedicated day and night teams, and access to advanced diagnostics including CT and endoscopy, this is an excellent opportunity for a vet who enjoys working cases up thoroughly and wants exposure to a diverse and interesting caseload.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Not every first opinion practice can offer the level of facilities and clinical support available here.
The hospital sees a wide variety of medical and surgical cases and has built a strong reputation for delivering a high standard of patient care. Whether your interests lie in internal medicine, surgery or diagnostics, you'll be surrounded by experienced colleagues with a range of clinical interests and expertise.
The team includes vets with interests spanning medicine, soft tissue surgery and orthopaedics, creating a collaborative environment where knowledge sharing and clinical discussion are part of everyday life.

• CT scanner
• Full endoscopy suite
• Ultrasound

The Role

For vets looking to take the next step clinically, gain exposure to a true hospital environment, and work alongside a large team of experienced colleagues, this is an opportunity well worth exploring.
