Veterinary Surgeon

This long-established independent practice, with over seventy-five years of service, continues to thrive through growth and investment, and is now seeking an additional Veterinary Surgeon to join its sixteen-strong veterinary team.

The position offers genuine flexibility and can be shaped around individual strengths, whether that be in medicine, dentistry, or inpatient care. There are also opportunities to develop surgically, with orthopaedics supported by an experienced team.

With first-class facilities, a supportive culture, and the prospect of partnership in the future, this is a rare opportunity to join a progressive, community-focused independent practice.

Salary – £35,000 – £65,000+ (DOE, with certs/experience recognised)

The exact salary within this banding will be awarded commensurate on experience.

Location
