Locum Veterinary Surgeon | Oxfordshire
June - Ongoing

Start Date: June
Duration: Ongoing
Day Rate: Up to £450 per day
Working Pattern: Ideally 4 days per week (with optional 1 in 4 weekends)

 

The Opportunity

A fantastic ongoing locum opportunity has become available within a well-equipped small animal practice in Oxfordshire.

The practice is looking for an experienced Locum Veterinary Surgeon to support the daytime team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy and well-supported environment with a varied caseload and strong clinical standards.

The Practice

This is a modern, forward-thinking small animal practice with an experienced and collaborative team.

Daily support typically includes:

• 3 Veterinary Surgeons
• 3–4 Registered Veterinary Nurses

The practice has a strong diagnostic focus, with a particular interest in imaging within the team, resulting in a diverse and interesting caseload that includes both routine and emergency presentations.

The Role

The position is ideally suited to a vet who is confident with both consultations and routine surgery.

Typical Duties

• First-opinion consultations
• Routine soft tissue surgery
• Emergency presentations
• Diagnostic work-ups and imaging cases

The rota is generally structured with full operating days or full consulting days, rather than splitting surgery and consults across the same day.

For exceptional candidates with a strong medicine background, a consult-only arrangement may also be considered.

Hours and Rota

Weekdays

• 8:00am – 6:00pm or
• 10:00am – 8:00pm

Preferred Commitment

• Ideally 4 days per week

Weekends (Optional)

• 1 in 4 weekends preferred but not essential
• Saturday and Sunday: 8:00am – 7:00pm

If weekend cover is not possible, the practice is happy to source a separate weekend-only locum.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Ongoing opportunity from June 2026
• Supportive and well-staffed team
• Varied mix of routine and emergency cases
• Strong diagnostic and imaging focus
• Flexible approach to weekends

About You

• RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
• Confident with first-opinion consultations and routine surgery
• Comfortable working within a busy, collaborative team
• Available from June 2026 for an ongoing booking
