Experienced Veterinary Surgeon with imaging bias – clinical freedom | supportive multi-vet team
Norwich Longwater – Vets for Pets

We’re looking for a confident Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys the variety of first opinion practice, from building relationships with clients and managing medical cases to performing surgery and providing excellent patient care.

We’re offering a position with clinical freedom, a supportive multi vet team, well equipped theatres, and future partnership potential for the right person. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career, we’d love to talk.

Why Norwich & Why Us

Norwich is one of those rare places that strikes the perfect balance: vibrant city life, beautiful countryside, and the coast just 30 minutes away. Whether you love architecture, independent shops, the Broads, or long walks on the beach, you’ll find your lifestyle here.

Across Norwich we have three individually owned and run Vets for Pets practices. You’ll be primarily based at Hall Road, but with occasional flexibility to support our other sites.

At Longwater, you’ll join a 4 vet team (including a new graduate), supported by 6 brilliant nurses, VCAs, and an experienced admin team. Our vets hold special interests in orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, and feline medicine, creating a collaborative environment where clinical discussion and development are part of everyday life.

We’re purpose built, well equipped, and backed by a regional team who actively support leadership development — ideal if you’re looking to grow into a senior or future partner role.

What Makes Our Practices Stand Out

• 30 minute clinical consults
• Well stocked orthopaedic kits
• Mental Health First Aiders
• BVA Good Workplace Guide implemented
• Regular clinical meetings
• Small Animal GP status with PSS

Our imaging equipment list so far comprises of

• Abdominal probe
• Brand new DR DX system shortly to be installed

We also have ambitious expansion plans, and we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of that journey.

What We’re Looking For

• Experienced Veterinary Surgeon with RCVS registration
• Ideally 2+ years’ experience in small animal practice
• Keen interest in Imaging with a desire to do their imaging certificate
• Full time: 39 hours, 4 days (9–7), 1:5 weekends - can consider part-time hours
• Weekend rota at our Norwich Sprowston site
• No OOHs
• Bank holidays on rotation
• A team focused mindset with confidence working independently
• Passion for high quality patient care and animal welfare

What We Offer

• Salary up to £65,000 (DOE / FTE)
• 5.6 weeks holiday, rising to 6.6 weeks after 2 years
• Birthday leave
• Contributory pension
• Access to wellbeing & pastoral support
• Cycle to Work scheme
• 20% Pets at Home & Groom Room discount
• Access to Retail Trust, Port of Call & MHFA support
• We’re genuinely enthusiastic about CPD — if you want to develop, we will back you.
• Partnership opportunities may be available for the right candidate as our practices continue to grow.
