Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal role at Vet Record Careers
Overview
Here at Stocks Veterinary Centre, we have an exciting opportunity for a veterinary surgeon to join us on a permanent basis. This role offers a well-balanced caseload between surgery and medicine. We would love to hear from a candidate that has a surgical bias, as we could offer the caseload and support for a certificate in this area. The role would be split between both of our practices. We can potentially offer you the chance to progress into a more senior clinical role in the future. We’re able to offer a relocation allowance of up to £5,000 for candidates that require it, as well as a welcome bonus for new hires of £5,000 (pro rata).
Work pattern and location
Work life balance that works for you We are proud of our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours that supports work-life balance. Whether full time or part time, we aim to find the right rota for you. A typical full-time role would involve working 4 days per week, over 40 hours, plus a shared 1:3 Saturday morning rota (08:30 - 12:30). Vets Now cover out-of-hours emergencies, but inpatient care is light and on a shared rota basis.
