Job description

Shared Role Between Hall Place Vets (Maidenhead) & Cherry Tree Vets (High Wycombe)

Up to £75,000 DOE, Relocation Allowance up to £5,000, Welcome Bonus up to £5,000

Hospital Facilities & Community Practice | Flexible Working | No OOH or Bank Holidays | Supportive, Experienced Team

We're excited to offer a unique and flexible opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and forward-thinking team across two well-established practices: Hall Place Veterinary Centre in Maidenhead and Cherry Tree Veterinary Practice in High Wycombe.

This shared role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety in their working day - offering the best of both worlds: the clinical challenge of a hospital-style environment with advanced facilities at Hall Place, and the rewarding connection of a village-style practice embedded in the local community at Cherry Tree.

The Role

Your week will be a mixture of consulting and surgery, with some sole charge. You'll enjoy a 4-day week with weekends on a shared rota, and no out-of-hours or bank holiday work. We're open to discussing part-time options to fit around your lifestyle and commitments.

You'll be working alongside a 13-vet team, including several certificate holders in surgery, internal medicine, and cardiology, offering ample support, collaboration, and clinical growth.
