Veterinary Surgeon - Award winning Hospital

An award-winning, RCVS-accredited veterinary hospital with over 50 years’ experience is looking for a confident and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join its thriving team. This is a rare chance to be part of a progressive, supportive practice that truly invests in its people — whether that’s developing graduates into certificate holders or helping experienced vets step into leadership roles.

Based primarily at the main hospital, with occasional work across nearby branches, this role offers a varied caseload and access to exceptional facilities. From CT imaging and a fully equipped dental suite to 12 operating theatres, the clinical environment is designed for vets to deliver outstanding care while continuing to develop their skills. The team includes 16 vets — seven of them certificate holders — plus six more currently studying in areas such as cardiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, surgery, and medicine.

With a dedicated night team on site, there’s no need for out-of-hours work. Weekends are shared fairly (1:10 full weekends and 1:5 Saturdays) with time back in lieu. The last weekday appointment is at 6:30pm, giving a healthy work-life balance.

Benefits include:

Salary up to £65,000 (DOE) plus relocation package

5 weeks’ holiday + bank holidays + birthday leave

Funded CPD (including certificates) and access to referral centres for caseload exposure

RCVS & VDS fees paid

Enhanced family leave, sickness pay, and life assurance

Staff discount, e-car scheme, cycle-to-work scheme, and wellness programme (EAP, flu jabs, eye care vouchers)

Visa Sponsorship available

This role would suit a vet confident in consults, surgery, and dentistry, who enjoys being part of a close-knit, friendly team. With state-of-the-art facilities, an experienced nursing team, and a supportive environment, it’s the ideal setting for a vet who wants to combine clinical excellence with genuine career progression.
