Veterinary Surgeon – Tier 3 Hospital Support, No On-Call – South Manchester – Up to £55,000 DOE

A brilliant opportunity to join a progressive, well-equipped 7-branch practice group in South Manchester — with access to exceptional clinical facilities, a multidisciplinary certificate-led referral team, and a 4-day working week. 🐾

About the Practice

This friendly and progressive small animal practice group operates across 7 branches in South Manchester, supported by its own Tier 3 hospital and an in-house out-of-hours service. The multidisciplinary, certificate-led referral team provides excellent clinical backup — allowing vets to work cases to a high standard and develop their own areas of interest with real confidence.

The facilities are genuinely impressive:

• CT scanner and visiting MRI service
• Advanced ultrasound and echocardiography
• Dental radiography
• Flexible and rigid endoscopy
• Laparoscopy and fluoroscopy
• Advanced anaesthesia equipment

About the Role

This is a permanent position working an average 4-day week, with no on-call duties. The role includes some sole charge, a weekend rota with time off in lieu, and occasional late evening inpatient shifts (5pm–11pm).

Why South Manchester?

Stockport sits on the southern edge of Greater Manchester — brilliantly positioned for both city life and the great outdoors. 🌿 Manchester city centre is just a short commute away, with direct trains taking around 10–15 minutes, while the M60 and M63 ring roads provide excellent road links across the region. The Peak District National Park is around 30 minutes to the east, and the Lake District is easily reachable for days off. Stockport itself is a thriving town with great independent food and drink, affordable housing and a strong sense of community — and it's consistently growing in popularity as one of the North West's most desirable places to live.
