Job description

Veterinary Surgeon

Norfolk

Salary up to £65,000 FTE, dependent on experience

Three- or four-day working week available

Develop your interests in medicine or diagnostic imaging without losing the variety of first-opinion practice. This small animal hospital in North Norfolk offers advanced diagnostics, experienced clinical support and fully funded certificates, alongside a working pattern that leaves room for life beyond the consulting room.

We are seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join a modern, well-equipped, RCVS-accredited hospital with two supporting branch practices. You'll manage varied medical cases, carry out routine consultations and surgery, and contribute to thoughtful, welfare-led decisions about patient care.

Clinical support that makes a difference

You'll work alongside a substantial team of day vets, dedicated night vets, nursing and patient care colleagues, and administrative staff. Orthopaedic specialists, Advanced Practitioners in soft tissue surgery and dermatology, and certificate holders provide opportunities to discuss cases and learn from experienced colleagues.

Daily clinical rounds, journal clubs and case discussions make knowledge-sharing part of everyday practice. Monthly vet meetings, regular morbidity and mortality reviews, and quarterly clinical governance meetings provide further opportunities to contribute ideas and improve care.

Protected administrative time helps you keep on top of clinical work. The weekend commitment is currently one in ten, offering continuity of care and exposure to emergency and inpatient cases, with time off provided to support work-life balance.

Room to develop your interests

Applications are particularly welcomed from vets interested in medicine and/or diagnostic imaging. Fully funded certificate support, dedicated CPD time and access to a wider clinical network will help you pursue those interests while maintaining a varied caseload.

You'll bring at least two years' small animal experience and confidence in routine consultations and surgery. Just as importantly, you'll enjoy collaborative working and be committed to excellent patient and client care.

The package

Alongside the salary and choice of a three- or four-day working week, the benefits include fully paid RCVS and VDS fees, a generous CPD allowance, access to a professional veterinary library and more than 450 courses. Fully funded postgraduate qualifications, including CertAVP and PgCert routes, cover tuition, examinations and study leave.

Clinical development is supported through telemedicine specialists, a wider clinical services network and regional clinical leads offering case advice and mentoring.

Wellbeing provision includes a health cash plan, an Employee Assistance Programme, enhanced family leave, monthly manager check-ins, wellbeing champions, pastoral veterinary support and personal mentors. Staff pet care discounts include 50% off services, with additional discounts on pet food and medications.

The organisation promotes an inclusive workplace where colleagues can contribute and speak openly. Central operational teams support practice administration, while a dedicated multi-million-pound improvement fund supports investment in facilities across the wider organisation.

Life in North Norfolk

The North Norfolk coastline and countryside is within easy reach, including Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Beach. Norwich is approximately 45 minutes away, and the area offers access to regional veterinary CPD, specialist-led education and national conferences. For anyone drawn to coastal walks, outdoor activities and a quieter setting, it offers an appealing balance of professional development and life outside work.

You must be a qualified Veterinary Surgeon and eligible to register with the RCVS to be considered for this role.
