Vet Surgeon

Veterinary Surgeon

Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland

We have an opening for an enthusiastic, professional Veterinary Surgeon to join our well-established team at Newtownabbey Vets4

Pets.

Situated at the edge of Belfast, our bright, spacious, air‑conditioned surgery has all the expected kit including in‑house bloods, X‑ray, ECG/multi‑monitor, high‑end ultrasound, new K‑Laser; and additional equipment such as a hyrefractor diathermy unit and heated anaesthetic circuits.

You will join a dedicated, supportive team made up of 2 experienced vets, 3 full‑time registered veterinary nurses and 3 VCS/receptionists.

Working with Vets4

Pets means a lot of the paperwork is done off‑site, allowing us to concentrate on serving our patients with clinical freedom.

We believe in providing the best possible care for all of our patients and, with this in mind, we monitor our patient flow to ensure that our books are well balanced, offering consistency in care. Our client list has been semi‑closed since early 2021 to control workload, ensuring focus on colleague well‑being.

We have also maintained fair local pricing; this allows us to keep bill‑related stress to a minimum.

We work off a 36‑hour week, and make sure every single bit of overtime is returned as time‑in‑locus or extra pay. You will be required to work 1 in 3 weekends on a rota basis, but there is no on‑call with Vets Now handling our OOH. Salary range £37‑65k depending on experience.

New grads welcome – all our previous grads are doing great things in their careers here and abroad, which includes participation in the award‑winning graduate programme.

CPD is encouraged and fully funded, offering a true opportunity for you to shape your own veterinary career.

Contact Rachael Bury () or practice owner Arthur Tyther () for more information.
