Veterinary Surgeon

Clini Hunters is a boutique headhunting consultancy connecting exceptional veterinary professionals with leading independent practices across the UK and Ireland.

We’re proud to partner with a unique, purpose-driven independent veterinary group with a

flagship 24/7 hospital and a nearby branch practice in the Shropshire region. This forward-thinking group reinvests in people, patients, and clinical excellence — creating a genuinely supportive and values-led culture.

We have two fantastic opportunities for experienced Lead Veterinary Surgeons to join this growing team — one to lead within a high-performing hospital environment, and another to head up a progressive local branch. Both roles offer autonomy, clinical freedom, and the chance to make a real impact in a trusted independent setting.

• Lead, mentor, and support a dedicated vet team
• Collaborate with the Practice Manager and Lead Nurse on operations and workflow
• Drive clinical and commercial performance through leadership and teamwork
• Maintain the highest standards of patient care

The hospital site features advanced facilities including two surgical suites (one for complex procedures), a dental theatre, feline-friendly wards, and five consulting rooms supporting orthopaedic and soft-tissue caseloads.

The branch role offers the opportunity to lead a close-knit community practice with full support from the wider hospital team.

• Confident clinical leader with a passion for people and pets
• Excellent communicator and natural mentor
• Strong interest in clinical governance, performance, and team development
• Up to £85,000 DOE
• 6 weeks’ annual leave
• Funded CPD + RCVS & VDS fees paid
• Private healthcare & Employee Assistance Programme

Join an independent, purpose-driven veterinary group where care comes before profit. Work with a supportive leadership team that values trust, compassion, and professional growth
, in an environment that empowers vets to do their best work.
