We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our supportive and thoughtful team, who strive to offer the best standards of care to their clients and their pets.

We have been open for 8 years and have an ultrasound, in house lab and x-ray. We also convert our x-ray room into a euthanasia room so that it is more comfortable and not so clinical for those difficult times.

We do all of the routine surgeries plus orthopaedic ops. We have 2 full time vets, 5 qualified nurses, 1 VCA and 4 receptionists.

We are a very friendly, bubbly team, with always time for tea, cake, and a chat. We are a member of the practice standards scheme and have a good award for client service, we take great pride in being known to the public for our friendly, welcoming service.

We are looking for a veterinary surgeon with minimum 2 years’ experience who is confident, friendly, and enthusiastic with great communication skills. You'll have good general small animal surgical and medical abilities and a desire to learn and improve. We have a varied caseload, and you should be flexible and work well under pressure. Animal welfare is important to us, and you should share the same ethos.

The role is a full-time role working 40 hours a week including 1 in 3 weekends and no OOHs. Flexible working is readily available with school hours an option.

As you would expect from the market leader in small animal veterinary care, we offer:

• Excellent career opportunities and development due to our varied case load
• Salary up to £60,000 (DOE) (FTE)
• Contributory pension scheme
• Generous CPD
• Funding of certificates for the right candidate
• Option to buy additional days annual leave
• Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS)
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards
• Plenty of tea and cake!

This is a great opportunity to be part of a fun, hardworking and motivated team, offering the chance to develop your own specialisms in a supportive environment. If we sound like a team you'd like to be a part of, we would love to hear from you!
