Job Description

Full-Time Veterinary Surgeon - Pet Repair Vets

Are you looking for an invigorating change to restore your faith in veterinary medicine? We are an independent, privately owned, and well-managed small animal practice that combines "old-school" personal client care with modern clinical excellence. Founded by an 18-year qualified, ECC certificate holder, our practice was built to be an antidote to the burnout often found in corporate environments.

We pride ourselves on a stellar reputation built on delivering consistent results, outstanding communication and transparent pricing. Because we focus on early in-house diagnostics and high-standard care, our growth is driven almost entirely by personal recommendations rather than advertising.

The Role & Benefits

This is a full-time position (average 40 hours per week) offering a supportive environment designed for professional growth:

Work-Life Balance: 4- or 5-day week (8:30-18:00) with 1 in 3 Saturdays (8:30-12:00). No OOH or on-call (covered by Vets Now) and no Bank Holidays. Salary: up to 65,000 DOE (36,000 for new graduates), reviewed annually. Clinical Excellence: 15-minute consults with dedicated emergency slots to prevent double-booking. You will manage a high volume of complicated second opinions and advanced work-ups. Facilities: High-spec equipment including Mindray Vetus 50 ultrasound, with microconvex, linear and phased array probes, digital X-ray, dental X-ray (iM3), full IDEXX lab, electrosurgery, SAV4 ventilator, Tonovet Plus, slit lamp, stapling devices, regenerative medicine kits, and much more. Tech-Forward: Cloud-based PMS with integrated client chat and a recorded hybrid phone system for team protection, routine use of Heidi medical scribe to minimise note typing and maximise retention of clinical details. Health & Wellbeing: 28 days holiday plus Bank Holidays, NEST pension, and comprehensive Private Medical Insurance (including mental health cover, physiotherapy, and private hospital access). Professional Development: Paid RCVS, VDS, and BSAVA fees. We offer an unlimited CPD budget (3 days paid leave) and will fully fund a Certificate of your choice (as long as it is relevant to our work in practice).

Mentorship & Growth

Working alongside a PGCertSAECC holders with extensive experience in all areas of small animal practice, you will receive one-on-one mentoring. Beyond routine day-to-day practice, you will have the opportunity to assist in advanced procedures and rapidly build confidence in emergency care and complex case management.

Our Ideal Candidate

While experience in medicine, soft tissue surgery, and exotics is a plus, we value attitude over years in practice. We are seeking a clinician who is:

- Eager to learn and improve clinical skills.

- Committed to high-standard protocols and client communication.

- Ready to venture beyond routine appointments into advanced procedures and second opinions.
