About the Practice
This independent practice isn’t about buzzwords or box-ticking. It is a family-run practice built on trust, loyalty, and good medicine, and it has been part of the North Manchester community for 45 years. Run by a husband-and-wife team (one handling the business, the other a 15-year-qualified head vet), the culture is built entirely on long-term relationships, not quick wins. There are no plans to sell, no out-of-hours, and absolutely no pressure to upsell anything that doesn’t feel right.
This is the kind of place where people stay, clients come back year after year, and vets are given real autonomy. Everyone pulls together when there is work and relaxes when it is time. Because it is completely independent and free from the shackles of a large vet group, decisions are made quickly and new ideas are always encouraged.
The Role & Clinical Mix
The practice is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon (5+ years qualified) who is a good, all-round GP with a surgical bias, ready to settle somewhere long-term and become part of the family.
This three-day role gives you a proper balance without cutting corners on clinical work, with a genuine aim to have you out the door on time at the end of the day. Your daily clinical mix will look like this:
- Morning to Mid-Afternoon: Dedicated surgery time.
- 4:00pm – 6:15pm: Afternoon consultations.
You will be working alongside two other experienced vets, fully supported by modern on-site kit (including X-ray, ultrasound, and an in-house lab), with visiting specialists brought in when needed. Most importantly, you will be given the time and space to practise good medicine.
The Package:
- Salary of £75,000 (pro-rated)
- All professional fees paid for
- Excellent CPD allowance
- 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
- A close-knit, supportive, and refreshingly drama-free working environment with no targets to hit and no hierarchy nonsense
The Location
Based close to Manchester city centre, commuting is effortless with a tram stop located just down the road. The surrounding area is an easy place to settle, unwind, and enjoy life outside of work, featuring gyms, cafés, restaurants, and a supermarket all within a two-minute walk, alongside green spaces like Heaton Park nearby.
