Job description

Flexible part-time opportunity covering the Lead Vet's day off and annual leave

We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our welcoming Petts Wood team on a part-time basis. This role provides essential support to the practice by covering the Lead Vet's regular day off and periods of annual leave, helping to ensure continuity of care for our patients and clients.

This position would suit a vet looking for a flexible role within a supportive practice environment, offering a consistent working pattern alongside additional planned shifts throughout the year. There may also be occasional opportunities to support neighbouring practices within the local area as required, with travel costs reimbursed in line with company policy.

Based in the heart of Petts Wood, our practice has a loyal client base and a friendly, collaborative team. You'll be supported by a very experienced nursing and client care team, with access to the wider Medivet network for support when needed.

If you're a confident and personable Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys working sole charge, building strong relationships with clients and colleagues, and values a flexible work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.

Your career means more than a rota and a job title, that's why we offer:

Health and wellbeing

• Private Medical Insurance and Health Cash Plan from day one
• 24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
• Life Assurance 3 x salary

Annual leave

• 5 weeks' annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with length of service
• Extra 'Day for You', a paid day off just for you

Learning and development

• £1,500 CPD allowance plus 3 days' paid leave per year
• Access to Clinical Communities, internal CPD and our 24-hour hospitals
• Funded certificates and internal career pathways

Additional Support

• RCVS, VDS and BVA fees paid
• Relocation support and Visa sponsorship available
• Sabbatical options based on length of service

Lifestyle

• Cycle to Work
• Season Ticket loans
• Discounts on Medivet products and services

About You

You're a qualified MRCVS with a passion for clinical excellence and client care. You're a team player who wants to make a real difference in a practice that values and supports you.

What You'll Be Doing

Typically, in this role, you'll:

• Deliver exceptional clinical care to patients in consults and surgery to the highest standards of regulatory, practice and operational compliance
• Develop tailored treatment plans with clients
• Work collaboratively within a supportive team
• Share your skills and support our Medivet communities' development
