Job description

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for a flexible opportunity for the next few months?

Heaton Chapel is looking for a Vet to join our friendly, supportive team on a 3-month fixed-term contract, with the potential to extend depending on availability and practice needs.

We’re looking for someone who can join us as soon as possible and can offer three full days per week, ideally 9am–7pm, although we’re happy to be flexible where required. One of your working days will need to be a Friday, with the remaining two days flexible.

We’re open to Vets with a range of clinical interests and skill sets, so this role can be shaped around what you enjoy for example consult-only, medical-focused or a surgical role. You’ll need to be comfortable working one day in sole charge, although this can be a consult-only day.

You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team in our recently refurbished Heaton Chapel practice, working alongside our Branch Partner Veterinary Surgeon, three RVNs, VCA and Client Care Assistant. With no weekends and no out-of-hours, this is a great opportunity for a Vet looking for some additional stability and flexibility.

Whether you’re returning to practice or simply want a change of pace, we’re happy to have an informal conversation about what could work for you. Please contact Serena - [e-mail] for further details.

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

Typical, 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
