Job description

Looking for a full-time role with autonomy, variety and the opportunity to help shape a practice? Join Medivet St Albans as a Full-Time Veterinary Surgeon, working 40 hours per week with 1 in 6 weekends and a fair share of bank holidays across the team/on-call rota. The practice is now excitingly welcoming a new Partner, creating a fantastic opportunity to help evolve the practice and take it to the next level with the support of a Partner and the wider Medivet network. Based in the heart of St Albans, the practice has a loyal client base and established caseload. This role will involve sole charge, so you'll need to be a confident all-round vet, comfortable with routine surgeries and basic medical procedures.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Work alongside an exciting new Partner
• Full-time, permanent role – 40 hours per week
• Opportunity to help shape and develop the practice
• Sole charge autonomy with wider Medivet support
• Varied medical, surgical and dental caseload
• Established, community-focused practice

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
