Veterinary Surgeon

We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon at Salisbury Companion Care to strengthen our team whilst we forge a new path into modern veterinary practice. 

Our previous JVP has now left us after 16 years, so we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to join our excellent clinical team working under our Clinical Director to embrace 21st century veterinary medicine.

About Us
We are a busy small animal practice that operates with the benefit of a brand support office. We have a freshly refurbished practice with all the mod cons. We have an exceptional reputation, and staff that have been here since we opened 16 years ago. We’ve never needed to advertise for clients and value our loyal, long standing client base with whom we’ve cultivated wonderful relationships. We offer surgical procedures, dental, digital x-ray, ultrasound, with some in house lab testing facilities.

We can offer a fantastic location to work, situated in a popular retail park with free parking and both a supermarket and a 24-hour gym next door, based in the beautiful historic city of Salisbury surrounded by stunning countryside. The New Forest is on our doorstep, London is just over an hour away by train and the coast is a 30-minute drive south. 

About You
Not only do we need someone who is comfortable with consulting, sole charge, and general surgery, but we want someone with vision and ideas, who will join our tight knit team and help us to achieve a gold standard in animal care. We are to be rebranded later this year and there is no better time to join us to have a say in the future direction of the practice.

You will have been qualified for a minimum of 5 years and have UK experience, be fluent in English if it isn’t your first language and be driven, efficient, thorough and enjoy the company of colleagues that strive for excellence. 

This is a truly exciting opportunity to be part of a fantastic team with a commitment to gold standard animal care, with the competitive salary and generous benefits package and support you would expect from a major industry employer in our sector.

In return, we can offer you:

• A salary up to £65,000 depending on experience + £5000 relocation/welcome bonus
• A full-time role (40 hours per week)
• No OOHs or Sunday
• CPD allowance
• Full memberships and pension
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards, including 20% off at Pets At Home, Groom Room and the Vet Group

If you'd like any further information about this vacancy, the practice or our company please contact Jack from our Talent Acquisition team via email; covet@vets4pets.com for an informal and confidential conversation, or you can contact our Practice Manager, Sarah at Sarah.0055@companioncare.co.uk.

Alternatively, you can submit your application directly to us now and somebody will be in touch with you to discuss this further. We look forward to hearing from you!
