What We’re Looking For

* RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon (or eligible)
* Comfortable working sole charge
* Confident in routine surgery and consultations
* Team-oriented with strong client care skills
* A proactive approach to leadership and development

Salary & Package Salary:

* £60,000 – £75,000 (negotiable)
* Up to £80,000 available for exceptional candidates
* Private medical insurance from day one
* Health cash plan (dental, physio, optical) + 24/7 GP access
* Life assurance – 3x salary
* 5 weeks annual leave + bank holidays (pro-rata), rising with service
* Extra paid ‘Day for You’
* £1,500 CPD allowance + 3 CPD days (pro-rata)
* Funded certificate opportunities
* Paid RCVS, VDS & BVA fees
* Sabbatical option with service
* Cycle to Work & Season Ticket Loan
* Visa sponsorship & relocation support (if needed)

Why St Neots?

St Neots is a beautiful riverside town in west Cambridgeshire with great amenities, green spaces and a strong community vibe. It’s just a 10-minute walk to the train station, offering quick and easy connections to Cambridge, London and beyond.

To apply, or for more information, please send your CV to scott@redsector.co.uk
