Veterinary Surgeon - All interests supported/Visa Sponsorship

Veterinary Surgeon – Bedfordshire

Ready for a new chapter in your veterinary career? A well-established practice in Bedfordshire is seeking an enthusiastic, passionate, and committed Veterinary Surgeon to join a friendly and supportive team. Whether you're looking to enhance your clinical skills, explore a specialism, or simply thrive in a collaborative and positive environment — this could be your perfect next step.

A Practice That Feels Like Home

You’ll be joining a close-knit and experienced team made up of 4 Vets, 3 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 3 Student Veterinary Nurses, and an RVN-led Practice Manager — all supported by a dedicated client care team of 4 Receptionists and 1 Veterinary Care Assistant. One of the Vets holds a certificate in ophthalmology, offering valuable mentorship and case collaboration opportunities.

The practice is purpose-built, fully air-conditioned, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including tonometry, ultrasound, digital x-rays, and a K-laser. A holistic approach to care is encouraged, with alternative therapies such as acupuncture actively supported.

Located just off the A1, the practice is well-positioned for travel, offering quick access to the historic city of Cambridge (only 40 minutes away), Luton Airport, and direct train routes into central London — making it an ideal base for both work and lifestyle.

Your Role and How You’ll Make an Impact

This is a part-time position with a balanced rota: Mondays from 8:30am to 8pm and 1 in 3 weekends (Saturdays 8:30am–6pm, Sundays 10am–4pm). For those seeking additional hours, there’s flexibility to increase your working days, which can be discussed at interview. Importantly, there are no out-of-hours commitments.

You’ll need solid general practice experience across both medicine and surgery, and feel confident with occasional sole-charge duties. The practice sees a broad and engaging caseload, including some orthopaedic procedures, with the current team evenly split between medical and surgical interests. Continued professional development is actively encouraged, with full funding available for those interested in pursuing certificates or developing clinical specialisms.

What’s in It for You?

A competitive salary of up to £70,000 (depending on experience and FTE)

A generous CPD allowance with support for certificate study

5.6 weeks holiday, increasing to 6.6 weeks after 2 years of service

Contributory pension scheme

Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS)

In-house career development opportunities

Wellbeing and pastoral care through dedicated colleague support programmes

Cycle to work scheme

20% colleague discount

Access to Employee Assistance Programmes

Join a Practice That Truly Cares

In this rewarding role, you’ll become part of a passionate and forward-thinking team that values excellence in clinical care and a culture of mutual respect. Your ideas, individuality, and aspirations will be welcomed and nurtured — because here, you’re more than a Vet, you’re a vital part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in the community.

If you're ready to feel valued, supported, and inspired in your next role — we’d love to hear from you. For further information, an informal chat, or to apply, please email Debbie Loding at Debbie@vettedrecruitment.co.uk or 07384 551799 today.
