Veterinary Surgeon, The Veterinary Clinic, Dyas

We're seeking a skilled Veterinary Surgeon to join our dynamic team on a permanent basis. In this role, you’ll enjoy a well-balanced caseload between medicine and surgery. We actively encourage and support career development through continuous training and education, and we are happy to provide nurturing and inspiration for any applicant interested in pursuing a certificate qualification. There will be elements of sole charge involved for this role.

Rota patterns that work for you

Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, which is why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Ideally, we’re looking for someone to work 40 hours per week over Monday – Friday. There are no weekends or out of hours required for this role.

A bit about us

Our group of PSS accredited clinics have been established both independently and as part of our TVC group for well over 30 years, and many staff are still with us. Each of our clinics has designated nursing Branch Leads to allow you to concentrate on being a Vet, although management opportunities are available. Lab/surgical/dental facilities are standard within each branch, and we also have access to dental x-ray/ultrasonography/ophthalmic and orthopaedic kit across the group.

We are an encouraging group who are happy to fund certificates and specific interests and firmly believe in further learning for everyone. We hold monthly vet meetings; a WhatsApp clinical discussion group, and colleagues are only ever a phone call away. The branch teams include, but are not limited to, nursing Branch Leads, RVNs/SVNs/VCA’s, and receptionists who have their own specific career pathway.

We recognize that our people are fundamental to the success of our business. Investing in our people, premises, and processes is at the heart of what we do. In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from:
