About Us
With more than 440 small animal practices across the country, of all shapes and sizes, Vets for Pets is one of the largest UK veterinary groups and offers Veterinary Surgeons a range of opportunities, including the opportunity to run your own practice. However, what really makes Vets for Pets a unique opportunity is that it is run locally, providing our local teams the time and opportunity to support their local community. This means you can join a team that can support your individual needs while offering you a bespoke introduction to the practice, local community and caring for our patients!

The practice is purpose-built with great facilities including an operating theatre, 3 dedicated consult rooms, a large prep area, an x-ray room, and an isolation block with separate cat and dog kennels.

This position is ideally for a part-time, experienced veterinary surgeon. The role would be for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays per week, with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings. There is no OOH or Sunday work.

However, we appreciate that this might not suit everyone, so if you are looking for different hours, please do still get in touch and we can see if we can accommodate you.

We are ideally looking for someone who is a good all-rounder and is confident in surgery.
