A well‑structured position offering a mix of consulting, surgery and on‑call work within a supportive practice that values development, clinical standards and long‑term career progression.
The Practice We’re Supporting
GVC is working with a well‑established small‑animal practice offering a full‑time role for an experienced veterinary surgeon. The practice provides a balanced rota with a fixed four‑day week, limited weekend commitments and a supportive on‑call structure. The clinical team works collaboratively across consulting, operating and inpatient care, ensuring continuity and high standards throughout the week.
The practice encourages ongoing development, including support for certificates and AVP status, and offers access to extensive online CPD resources. With a stable team, clear progression pathways and a transparent salary structure, this is an excellent opportunity for a vet seeking a long‑term, well‑supported role.
What You’ll Do
- Work a fixed four‑day week with an equal share of consulting, operating, support and on‑call duties.
- Participate in a structured on‑call rota until 11pm, with inpatient cover only overnight.
- Cover one fixed night every other week.
- Work six weekend shifts and one Bank Holiday per year.
- Manage a varied caseload across routine and more complex medical and surgical cases.
- Contribute to a collaborative clinical environment focused on patient care and evidence‑based practice.
What the Practice Can Offer You
- Salary up to £68,000 depending on experience, with supplements for certificate holders.
- Transparent salary banding and clear career progression pathways.
- Five weeks’ holiday plus Bank Holidays, increasing with length of service.
- Two paid personal days annually, added to holiday if unused.
- Funded CPD, including support for certificates and AVP status.
- Unlimited online CPD access through the RVC.
- Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS, BSAVA).
- Employment Assistance Programme.
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay.
- Cycle‑to‑work scheme.
- Visa sponsorship available.
What the Practice Is Looking For
- Experienced Veterinary Surgeon – typically three years qualified, with previous on‑call experience beneficial but not essential.
- Clinical Capability – confidence across routine medical and surgical procedures.
- Team Collaboration – ability to work effectively within a multi‑disciplinary team.
- Responsibility – comfortable participating in a structured on‑call rota.
- Commitment to Development – interest in ongoing CPD and potential certificate study.
