This is a cracking permanent vet role for someone who wants top-end pay without giving up their evenings or weekends. No out-of-hours, a light Saturday rota, and a salary that genuinely reflects experience — all in a well-run Somerset practice that values retention over churn.
Location: Somerset
Salary: Up to £70,000 (DOE)
OOH: None
Weekends: 1 in 3 Saturday mornings only
Contract: Permanent
The Role
You'll be working in a supportive first-opinion practice with a loyal client base and sensible appointment flow. The caseload is varied but manageable, with proper nursing support and realistic expectations around your day.
This role is ideal for a vet who wants clinical satisfaction without burnout — and who appreciates a practice that runs on common sense.
What You'll Be Doing
* First-opinion consultations and routine surgery
* Managing medical cases with confidence and care
* Working closely with experienced RVNs and support staff
* Building strong, long-term client relationships
* Maintaining excellent clinical and professional standards
What Were Looking For
* RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
* Confident in first-opinion practice
* Team-focused with a calm, professional approach
* Someone who values balance as much as quality medicine
Why This Role Stands Out
* Salary up to £70k — no vague promises
* No out-of-hours commitments
* Light, manageable Saturday morning rota
* Permanent, secure position
* Supportive, well-organised practice culture
