Are you an experienced Vet ready for a role that allows you to focus on outstanding patient care while being part of a truly collaborative team? We’re working on behalf of a well-established small animal practice with a fantastic reputation for clinical excellence and compassionate client care. They are now looking to welcome a Veterinary Surgeon to their close-knit team.

This is a full-time position (4 x 10-hour days), with a 1 in 6 full weekend rota and limited out-of-hours requirements. The ideal candidate will bring at least 3–5 years of UK veterinary experience, with confidence in all routine procedures and an enthusiasm for mentoring and sharing clinical expertise. Surgical certification and experience would be a bonus—but not essential.

• Advanced surgical facilities with a fully equipped theatre
• Digital x-ray, ultrasound, and in-house lab
• Support from a larger regional hospital for complex cases
• A loyal and growing client base

Whether you're interested in mentoring junior colleagues or building your own caseload of surgical work, this role gives you the autonomy to develop your clinical interests within a supportive, well-structured environment.
