Job description

Step into a role where clinical freedom, cutting-edge facilities, and genuine team support come together seamlessly. At Medivet Ashton 24 Hour, we’re offering an opportunity for a confident Veterinary Surgeon to thrive in a progressive, well-equipped environment—without the burden of out-of-hours work.

This is a full-time position working 40 hours across four days, typically 9am–7pm, giving you a consistent structure and genuine work-life balance. You’ll take part in just 1 in 6 weekends and a fair share of bank holidays, supported by a dedicated night team who ensure seamless patient care outside of your hours. Part-time applications are also welcome.

You’ll be joining a thriving 5-vet team, including a hands‑on Partner and a surgical certificate holder. While you’ll have access to that experience and collaboration, this role also offers the opportunity for sole charge, making it ideal for a confident, experienced all‑rounder who enjoys autonomy and ownership of their cases.

Our Ashton 24 Hour practice is designed to enable you to do your best work. With four consult rooms, two theatres, separate dog and cat wards, a fully equipped in‑house lab, digital and dental x‑ray, modern ultrasound, and laparoscopic equipment, you’ll have everything you need to work cases up to a high standard.

If you’re looking for a role where you can combine independence with support, and clinical variety with a sustainable rota, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

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
