Saturday Veterinary Surgeon
Haughley Veterinary Centre, Stowmarket
Up to £40ph depending on experience
Would you like to work only on Saturdays?
Haughley and Thurston Vets have partnered with Cedarwood Vets to look for a consult-only Saturday Veterinary Surgeon. We are looking for someone who is considering either a return to work or a reduction in hours to improve their work life balance or to fit around family life. It would be ideal for someone who wants to be consult only as any surgical cases can be transferred to the other half of the partnership, and the other vet would also be available to discuss any concerns or worries although the role is sole charge.
