Job description

Salary up to £66,000 DOE and up to £5,000 relocation allowance.
Clare Vets is expanding, and we’re on the lookout for a passionate and dedicated Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, supportive, and growing team! If you’re looking for a role where you can build strong client relationships, develop your surgical skills, and work within a fantastic team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

In this role, you’ll have the best of both worlds spending around two-thirds of your time in consultations, really getting to know your clients and their pets, while dedicating the remaining time to surgery and case work ups. As a busy hospital, we see a wide range of procedures, from routine neutering and dentals to more advanced soft tissue surgeries, BOAS procedures, TECA, and minor orthopaedics. While the majority of surgeries are completed on-site, we have excellent referral options for more complex orthopaedic and specialist cases. We also know how important continuity of care is, so wherever possible, you’ll have the opportunity to follow your cases through and build lasting relationships with clients.

We actively encourage professional development and would love to support you in growing your own areas of interest within the practice, complementing our skilled vets and nurses.

Full time working 40 hours a week; however, part time would be considered for the right candidate. One set night on call each week, alternating with first on duty one week and standby the following with time off in lieu for weekends and on call. We are happy to go over this in more detail at interview.

To apply, contact Amelia Bateman on [e-mail] or call 07970 240849.
