  • Attractive outdoor space enjoyed by staff and in-patients on sunny days
  • Free on-site parking
  • Conveniently located near shops, cafés, and amenities

What We’re Looking For

  • A confident Veterinary Surgeon with UK experience
  • Comfortable managing a broad first-opinion caseload (medicine, surgery, preventative care)
  • Strong communication skills and a desire to build lasting client relationships
  • Commitment to clinical excellence and ongoing learning

What We Offer

  • Salary up to £75,000 (DOE, FTE) based on experience
  • No weekends commitment, no out-of-hours shifts
  • Flexibility – full time or part time considered
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Generous holiday entitlement
  • CPD allowance and support for Certificates
  • RCVS and VDS membership fees covered
  • Exclusive company discounts and benefits
  • A genuinely supportive and friendly working culture in a beautiful location
