Who They Are GVC is supporting a friendly, supportive small animal team in Doncaster (South Yorkshire) looking to add a Veterinary Surgeon. They operate across two sites (a main hospital and a refurbished branch) with a team of six vets and a broad mix of interests, so there’s day-to-day support and a real focus on development. Out-of-hours and bank holiday cover is handled by an external provider, including overnight inpatient care, allowing good continuity without an in-house OOH rota. What You’ll Do This is a role for a Veterinary Surgeon who can work independently in medicine and surgery, maintaining high clinical standards without needing close clinical supervision. Depending on your strengths, you can shape your week towards:- Consulting and case workups with in-house diagnostics and a strong “work up most cases internally” approach
- Surgical lists with scope for a wide range of procedures, including laparoscopic and orthopaedic work (where appropriate to experience)
- Dedicated hospital shifts supporting inpatients and handling emergency presentations, alongside routine GP work
- Clear client communication, safe decision-making, and consistent case management standards
- Collaboration with the wider team across both sites to keep patient flow, handovers, and outcomes strong
- Salary up to £50,000 DOE
- 40 hours over a 4-day week (part-time considered)
- No OOH and no bank holidays worked
- Approx. 1:6 Saturday mornings (8:00–12:30) with time off in lieu
- 5 weeks holiday, option to buy/sell leave
- Paid RCVS, VDS, plus one additional membership
- CPD encouraged and funded with £1,750 allowance (certificates supported)
- Enhanced sickness and enhanced family leave policies (maternity/paternity/parental/surrogacy/adoption)
- Health & wellbeing cash plan + cycle-to-work scheme
- (Confirmed perk) Well-behaved pets can be welcome at work
