Job description

Looking for a supportive practice where you can develop your skills and enjoy a great balance of autonomy and teamwork?

Medivet Newcastle-under-Lyme is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, well-established team. This is a varied GP role, ideal for a vet who enjoys a mixture of consulting, medical and surgical cases and wants the opportunity to continue developing their clinical skills in a supportive environment.

You’ll work three days per week at our Newcastle-under-Lyme practice and one day per week at our Stoke-on-Trent practice, giving you the opportunity to work across two established teams. Our practices are well-equipped with digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house laboratory facilities and dedicated preparation and theatre space.

The role includes one/two days sole charge per week, but we know that this can sometimes put vets off applying. We want to be clear that you’re never without clinical support. During sole-charge periods, we’re looking for a vet who is confident managing consults and routine surgeries independently, but there is experienced clinical support available down the road whenever you need it. You’ll have the autonomy to work independently while knowing that support is close at hand.

We’re passionate about helping our vets progress and will support you to develop your clinical interests, with access to our clinical communities and opportunities for further training and certificates. We can also offer support with certificate funding, visa costs and relevant certification expenses, helping make your move to Medivet as straightforward as possible.

This is a full-time position of 40 hours per week, with a future 1 in 3 Saturday rota (09:00-14:00).

Your career means more than a rota and a job title, that’s why we offer:

Health and wellbeing

• Private Medical Insurance and Health Cash Plan from day one
• 24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
• Life Assurance 3 x salary

Annual leave

• 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with length of service
• Extra ‘Day for You’, a paid day off just for you

Learning and development

• £1,500 CPD allowance plus 3 days’ paid leave per year
• Access to Clinical Communities, internal CPD and our 24-hour hospitals
• Funded certificates and internal career pathways

Additional support

• RCVS, VDS and BVA fees paid
• Relocation support and Visa sponsorship available
• Sabbatical options based on length of service

Lifestyle

• Cycle to Work
• Season Ticket loans
• Discounts on Medivet products and services

About you

You’re a qualified MRCVS with a passion for clinical excellence and client care. You’re a team player who wants to make a real difference in a practice that val

What you’ll be doing

Typically, in this role, you’ll:

• Deliver exceptional clinical care to patients in consults and surgery to the highest standards of regulatory, practice and operational compliance
• Develop tailored treatment plans with clients
• Work collaboratively within a supportive team
• Share your skills and support our Medivet communities’ development
