The Role

Oakwood Vets are growing, and we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team in Harleston, South Norfolk.

This is an exciting time to join us. We are currently part-way through a refurbishment programme which will see us gain new consulting rooms, a second operating theatre, a new cattery and a dedicated compassion suite.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a collaborative team, values excellent patient and client care, and wants to play an active role in the continued development of the practice.

The role will involve a mixture of consulting and routine surgery, with opportunities to develop your own clinical interests. An interest in surgery would be particularly welcome, working alongside our current surgery certificate holder.

We are open to both full-time and part-time applications and are happy to discuss what might work for you.

We want our team to enjoy coming to work, feel supported and have the opportunity to develop.

• Enjoys a varied mix of consulting and surgery
• Is confident with routine surgical procedures
• Has excellent communication and client care skills
• Works collaboratively as part of a team
