Job description

Location: Nottinghamshire

Hours: 40 hours over 4 days

Flexibility: Part-time & flexible working options available

Weekends: None

OOH: None

Sole Charge: Some required

Lets be honest — roles like this dont come up often. A permanent Veterinary Surgeon position offering 40 hours over 4 days, genuine flexible and part-time options, no weekends, and no out-of-hours. Add in some sole charge (for vets who enjoy autonomy), and youve got a grown-up role for grown-up clinicians.

The Role

You'll be working in a friendly, first-opinion practice where trust, autonomy, and common sense are the norm. This is a role for a vet who's comfortable making decisions, enjoys managing their own day, and wants flexibility without sacrificing clinical standards.

You won't be micromanaged. You will be supported.

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering high-quality small animal consultations and routine surgery
• Confidently managing cases, including periods of sole charge
• Building strong, long-term client relationships
• Working collaboratively with an experienced nursing and support team
• Maintaining excellent clinical and professional standards

What Were Looking For

• RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
• Comfortable with some sole charge work
• Calm, capable, and clinically confident
• A team player who values flexibility and balance

Why This Role Stands Out

• 4-day working week with full-time hours
• No weekends. No OOH. No burnout badge.
• Real flexibility for part-time or adjusted hours
• Autonomy without isolation
• Permanent, stable position in a well-run practice
