Job description

Night Veterinary Surgeon - Norfolk Coast

• Exceptional Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a unique 7 nights on, 21 nights off rota — giving you ample time to rest, travel, or pursue personal interests
• Top-Tier Facilities: Work in a purpose-built, state-of-the-art practice with advanced equipment including an on-site CT scanner, laser therapy, and dedicated exotic animal wards
• Supportive Night Team: You're never alone — a dedicated RVN is with you throughout the shift, and you'll hand over to a large, experienced day team
• Independent & Award-Winning: Join a proudly independent, family-run practice known for its exceptional care, strong community roots, and ongoing commitment to clinical development
• Superb salary up to £64,000 and onsite accommodation available

Are you a vet who thrives in the quiet calm of night, values independence, and wants to be part of a truly special team? My client, a proudly independent and award-winning small animal practice in North Norfolk, is on the lookout for a dedicated Night Vet to join their close-knit and supportive team.

Purpose-built in 2014, this family-run practice is a local gem, offering top-tier care to both pets and exotic animals in a thriving market town known for its charm, community feel, and easy access to the coast and Norwich. With modern on-site accommodation available during your 7-night shift, you’ll enjoy a unique rota of 7 on, 21 off — giving you the freedom to really make the most of your downtime.

Your shifts run from 18:30 to 8:30, but this isn’t a high-pressure emergency centre — the caseload is steady, and there are genuine opportunities for rest and downtime. You’ll be supported throughout by a dedicated RVN and backed by a large day team at handover.

Inside the practice, you'll find facilities that rival referral centres, including an on-site CT scanner, digital X-ray, ultrasound, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and platelet regeneration therapy. With separate cat, dog, and exotic wards and a variety of cases, your nights will be interesting, varied, and rewarding. The team boasts a wide range of post-grad certificates, and you'll be encouraged to develop your own clinical interests with generous CPD support.

This is more than just a job — it's a chance to join a team that puts patient care and staff wellbeing first. If you’re looking for autonomy, balance, and the chance to work in a practice that’s proud to remain truly independent, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s have a chat and explore whether this could be the perfect next step in your career.

The Package:

• An excellent salary up to £64,000 DOE
• Onsite accommodation
• BUPA healthcare
• Pension contributions
• Funded CPD including certificates
• VDS fees and RCVS fees
