Night Veterinary Surgeon - 7 on and 14 off

Love the pace of ECC? Ready for a rota that gives you room to breathe?

This is an outstanding opportunity for a skilled Night Veterinary Surgeon to join a high-standard, well-equipped hospital where your expertise will directly impact patients and bring peace of mind to their owners—all while offering 14 nights off after every 7 on to fully recover, reset, and enjoy life outside of work.

Whether you're looking to build your ECC skillset or thrive in a role where every case matters, this is the role for a vet who wants purpose, challenge, and reward in equal measure.

-Why This Role Stands Out
A rota that works for your life – 7 nights on, 14 nights off

High-quality ECC cases – Varied, complex caseload that will stretch and grow your skills

Collaborative, skilled ECC team – You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll work alongside experienced night nurses and colleagues committed to delivering best-in-class care

No distractions, just medicine – Focus solely on your patients in a calm, well-equipped hospital setting

Autonomy and responsibility – Handle emergency surgery and critical care decision-making with full support from an experienced clinical team

-About the Practice
This Tier 3 hospital is part of a respected group with five supporting branches and a commitment to excellence at every level. It’s a friendly, supportive environment where people come to grow and stay, and the facilities are as impressive as the team.

Hospital facilities include:

Full imaging suite with onsite CT

4 operating theatres

Advanced dental suite with dental X-ray

Endoscopy and laparoscopy

ICU and species-specific wards (dogs, cats, exotics, day cases, long-stay)

Onsite lab with Haem/biochem/coags/EPOC

Separate dog/cat waiting areas and 7 consult rooms

Mental Health First Aiders and a wellbeing-forward culture

The team is made up of dedicated clinicians, certificate holders, and passionate support staff who value collaboration, continuous improvement, and delivering the highest standards of care. There’s a genuine sense of pride in the service they deliver—and in how they support each other.

-What They’re Looking For
A confident and compassionate vet who can:

Perform emergency surgery and stabilise critical cases

Make sound clinical decisions under pressure

Communicate clearly with concerned pet owners during high-stakes situations

Thrive in an autonomous role, while contributing positively to a tight-knit night team

Bring a collaborative spirit and a calm, professional presence

-What’s on Offer
Salary up to £70,000 (depending on experience)

5 weeks holiday + bank holidays + birthday leave

Relocation support available

RCVS and VDS fees covered

Employer pension contribution

Life assurance

Car scheme

Enhanced family leave

Funded external CPD and internal learning resources

Visa Sponsorship

Career development and progression opportunities within a supportive veterinary group

This is a brilliant opportunity for a veterinary surgeon who thrives on the urgency and impact of ECC and wants to work with like-minded professionals in a supportive, modern hospital. If you're ready to make a difference when it matters most—while enjoying time off that lets you truly recharge—this could be your next career move.
