The Opportunity

Purovets is delighted to be working with a well-established independent small animal practice just outside Cambridge, which is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join its growing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon with at least two years' small animal experience who is a confident all-rounder and can hit the ground running.

Working four days per week, you'll enjoy a varied caseload with a great balance of consulting and operating, alongside the opportunity to take on sole-charge responsibility for one day each week. The practice is looking for someone confident managing cases independently, comfortable with routine surgery and medical work, and passionate about delivering exceptional patient care.

Clinical freedom is a key part of the practice's ethos, allowing you to make decisions in the best interests of your patients without the pressure of financial targets. You'll also have the opportunity to develop your own clinical interests while working alongside a friendly and experienced team.

The Practice

You'll be joining a well-established independent practice that puts clinical standards, patient welfare and team wellbeing at the heart of everything it does. With a purpose-built, modern clinic and a strong reputation within the local community, the practice offers an environment where vets are trusted to make clinical decisions and deliver the level of care they believe in.

The practice boasts:

• An experienced, approachable team that values collaboration, knowledge-sharing and supporting one another.
• A varied first-opinion caseload, offering a rewarding mix of medical work, routine surgery and the opportunity to develop your clinical interests.
• Modern, purpose-built facilities, including digital X-ray, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory and a dedicated dental suite.
• Longer consultations that allow you to give patients the time and attention they deserve.
• Genuine clinical freedom, with an emphasis on quality care rather than financial targets.
• A fear-free approach designed to create a calmer experience for patients, clients and the clinical team.
• No out-of-hours or bank holiday commitments, helping you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

The Benefits

• £50,000–£65,000 salary, depending on experience.
• A four-day working week, with one day per week in a sole-charge capacity.
• Five weeks' annual leave, giving you plenty of time to recharge.
• Up to £1,500 CPD allowance to support your ongoing development and clinical interests.
• Pension scheme.
• RCVS and VDS fees fully covered by the practice.
• A manageable Saturday rota of one in four mornings.
• The opportunity to work within an independent practice where your clinical judgement is respected and your contribution genuinely matters.
