Experienced Hospital Vet - Medicine/Imaging Bias

Salary up to £70,000 DOE, FTE

We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our busy 24/7 hospital team at Valley Vets.

This role offers an excellent balance of a rewarding, hands‑on clinical caseload and a good quality of life. You’ll enjoy a genuine mix of first‑opinion GP work alongside hospital‑based inpatient care, diagnostics and surgery.

As we provide out‑of‑hours services for approximately 40 local practices, our caseload is varied and diverse, including complex medical and surgical cases. We are particularly interested in hearing from experienced veterinary surgeons with a clinical interest in medicine and/or diagnostic imaging, who are keen to further develop their skills and contribute to the management of more complex cases. The successful candidate will be confident managing cases independently, work collaboratively within a supportive team environment and be happy to support and share knowledge with less experienced team members.

You will never be sole charge. You’ll always work alongside other experienced vets, supported by a large team of RVNs, ACAs and a dedicated reception team. However, due to the nature of our caseload, strong clinical decision‑making skills, confidence and solid clinical experience are essential.

Working Pattern:

• Up to 4 days/week (38hrs)
• 1 x 12hr weekend shift every fourth weekend in mainly an inpatient care capacity
• 1 x 12hr bank holiday shift per year

Flexible working options would be considered
