Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Our practice includes a modern, purpose-built hospital in Barton-Le-Clay and a local branch nearby, so you’ll spend time across both sites. The hospital features a spacious reception area with separate cat and dog waiting zones, four consulting rooms (including one dedicated to nurse consultations), a fully equipped prep and theatre area, dental suite, X-ray room, lab, dispensary, and a small cattery with separate kennels. There’s also a dedicated vet office for quiet admin time and a comfortable staff kitchen and break room

Top-Tier Equipment to Support Your Skills

As a purpose-built hospital, we’re proud to offer a wide range of equipment including digital and dental X-ray, laparoscopic kit, endoscope and bronchoscope, a new ultrasound scanner, slit lamp, tonometers, and all the multi-parameter monitors and tools you need to deliver outstanding care. We’re also continuing to invest in our facilities and in a few weeks will be adding a CT scanner to further enhance our diagnostic capabilities.

How You’ll Make a Difference

As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload. 

You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.

This is a  full-time position, working 40 hours per week across 4 days, though part time will be seriously considered. Our weekend rota is 1 in 3 Saturday mornings (8am–1pm), with no out-of-hours commitments as we’re a host practice for Vets Now giving you a great work-life balance.
