• Independent, Supportive Practice – Work alongside a close-knit team with on-call backup from experienced Clinical Directors
• Diverse and Interesting Caseload – Perfect for surgically confident vets who thrive on variety and clinical challenge

Are you a confident, surgically skilled veterinary surgeon with a passion for emergency and critical care?

Looking for an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, independent team where your expertise and quick-thinking approach can make a real difference?

I have a fantastic opportunity for an Emergency Veterinary Surgeon to join a brand-new Emergency Clinic based within a well-established small animal practice in East Lincolnshire. This is a rare chance to take on a diverse and rewarding caseload in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.

The Role:

• Night rota: 7 nights on, 21 nights off – offering the perfect work/life balance
• Hours: 6:30pm to 8:30am
• Weekend-only role also available – 1:4 rota (both Saturday and Sunday)
• Sole charge position – you'll need to be confident and decisive, particularly with surgical cases
• On quieter nights, you’ll have access to comfortable sleeping, studying and relaxation facilities

Support Team:

• Back-up from two experienced Clinical Directors (always on-call for medical work-ups or advice)
• Supported by a twilight RVN (5pm–midnight) and a night RVN
• Friendly, close-knit team who enjoy working hard but also having a laugh along the way

Accommodation & Location:

Accommodation is available on-site in a spacious two-bedroom house which is very rarely shared. The practice is located in a popular and picturesque market town known for its blend of countryside charm and modern amenities. With good schools, a welcoming community, and beautiful historic surroundings, it’s a great place to call home.

What We’re Looking For:

Someone experienced, surgically confident, and comfortable in sole charge. Just as importantly, we’re after a vet who brings a good sense of humour, stays calm under pressure, and enjoys being part of a supportive, down-to-earth team that pulls together when it matters most. Previous ECC or sole charge experience is a must.

If you're looking for a refreshing career move with genuine flexibility, clinical autonomy, and a supportive, fun team – then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

For an informal chat or to learn more, please get in touch – I would love to hear from you!

The Package:

• A superb salary of up to £60,000 (pro-rata)
• 11 shift days off (statutory annual leave)
• Pension scheme
• Visa sponsorship
• Company car
• Generous and flexible CPD allowance
