Job description

This independent, family-owned veterinary group is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to work across two of their close-by coastal Dorset practices.

You'll be joining an established team with access to on-site clinical support, as well as from across the wider group of around 25 vets and 100 staff.

The practices are well-equipped with:

• Digital radiography
• Dental radiography
• Ultrasonography
• IDEXX in-house laboratory facilities
• Dedicated surgical facilities
• Visiting ophthalmology, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeons

The group has been independently owned for 15 years and has grown to 13 practices without moving away from that model.

Its approach is based on reinvesting into its people and practices, with ongoing investment in facilities and major clinic refits planned across the group.

For vets, that means access to the resources of a sizeable organisation while retaining the personal feel, flexibility and autonomy associated with an independent practice.

The Offer:

• Salary: Up to £80,000 (DOE)
• 4-day week with 1:4 Saturday rota
• No on-call or bank holidays
• Up to 6 weeks' annual leave
• Loyalty bonus scheme
• Staff recruitment reward scheme
• Generous CPD budget
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• Staff pets treated at cost, with 25-35% discounts
• Pets Corner shop discount

If you're looking for an experienced team, good facilities and a genuinely manageable working pattern on the Dorset coast, this is worth a conversation.
