Are you a vet who loves the unpredictability of a mixed caseload? JR Veterinary is seeking an enthusiastic Surgeon with 2+ years of experience to join a long-established, award-winning practice in the stunning Scottish Borders.
If you are looking for a role that offers clinical freedom across multiple species while respecting your time away from the consult room, this is the perfect balance.
The Role: A True Mixed Caseload
This is a varied position where no two days look the same. You will be joining a forward-thinking team that holds an ISFM Gold award and a Bronze iiE Sustainability award, reflecting their commitment to both patient care and the environment.
- The Split: A balanced mix of 60% Small Animal, 30% Large Animal, and 10% Equine.
- The Facilities: A purpose-built, RCVS-accredited surgery equipped with ultrasound, digital X-ray (including dental), and multiparameter monitoring.
- Special Interests: Clinical growth is highly encouraged. Whether you want to pursue a certificate or develop a specific niche, you will have the funding and the caseload to do so.
The Rota: Focus on Wellbeing
Our client understands that a good work-life balance isn't just a buzzword—it's a requirement.
- Short Week: Just 25 hours (3 days) per week.
- Sociable Hours: Evening surgery ends at 6:00 pm.
- Weekends: A fair 1 in 5 rotation, with the following Monday off to ensure you recharge.
- On-Call: Just one night per week, with full support available if needed—ideal for building confidence in emergency work.
The Location: Adventure on Your Doorstep
Based in the heart of the Scottish Borders, you’ll be surrounded by some of the UK's most beautiful landscapes. It’s a haven for walking, mountain biking, and outdoor pursuits.
- City Access: While you enjoy the rural lifestyle, you are only about 60 minutes from the vibrant hubs of Edinburgh, Newcastle, and Carlisle.
A Highly Competitive Package
- Financial: Competitive salary plus a Relocation Allowance.
- Time Off: 5 weeks holiday plus bank holidays and a day off for your Birthday.
- Professional: RCVS/VDS fees paid, plus generous funding for external CPD and access to a vast internal training network.
- Lifestyle: Enhanced sickness pay, enhanced family leave, E-car salary sacrifice, and a cycle-to-work scheme.
- Health: Comprehensive wellness program, including EAP and life assurance.
