Jobbeschreibung

Surgical Lead Veterinary Surgeon

Kidderminster | Up to £75,000 FTE, depending on experience | Full or part time

Build your surgical skills, shape the care available in practice and make room for life outside work. This Surgical Lead Veterinary Surgeon role offers a genuinely flexible rota, including the option of school hours, with no out-of-hours work and occasional Saturday mornings capped at one in four.

An established, growing veterinary practice is looking for a vet with a surgical bias to lead the development of its surgical offering. With a new Practice Owner driving the practice forward and a stable, experienced clinical team alongside you, this is an opportunity to take on meaningful clinical responsibility while continuing to develop your own expertise.

The role

You’ll take the lead on surgery within the practice, helping to broaden the treatments available and maintain high clinical standards. Alongside managing surgical cases, you’ll support junior colleagues through mentoring, sharing knowledge and helping them build confidence in their clinical decisions.

The varied and growing caseload includes small furries, exotics and dentistry, supported by an established client base. There is space to develop individual clinical interests, with facilities to nurture different strengths and ambitions.

This role would suit a veterinary surgeon who enjoys surgery and wants to develop that interest further while helping others progress. Relevant surgical experience, sound clinical judgement and a thoughtful approach to patient care and colleague development would provide a strong foundation.

Support and development

You’ll join an approved training practice led by an owner with a background spanning veterinary nursing support and veterinary medicine, who is also a Vet GDP Advisor and trained Mental Health First Aider.

Career progression is evident across the practice: four nurses initially joined as locums before taking permanent positions, and a colleague has progressed from veterinary care assistance into student nursing. A generous CPD allowance and funding towards certificates will support your own next steps.

Consultation lengths can vary to reflect individual working styles. Breaks and an hour’s lunch are built into the day, and regular catch-ups after morning consultations give colleagues time to share ideas. Appointments finish half an hour before closing, allowing time to catch up before heading home.

Flexibility and benefits

Full- and part-time hours can be considered, including school-hours arrangements. The rota is predominantly weekdays, with no out-of-hours commitment and Saturday mornings no more frequently than one in four.

The package includes a salary of up to £75,000 FTE, depending on experience, access to private health insurance and a contributory pension. Holiday starts at 5.6 weeks, increasing to 6.6 weeks after two years’ service, with an additional day’s leave for your birthday. RCVS, BVA and VDS membership fees are paid. Further benefits include wellbeing support and pastoral care through a rewards hub, colleague assistance programmes, a cycle-to-work scheme and a 20% discount across associated veterinary, pet retail and grooming services.

You must be a qualified Veterinary Surgeon and eligible to register with the RCVS to be considered for this role.
