Are you ready to take the next step in your veterinary career?
Do you have a passion for leading a team and driving clinical excellence, all while maintaining a hands-on approach with your patients?
I am looking for a confident, experienced Veterinary Surgeon with a keen interest in leadership, mentoring, and continuous improvement to join a proudly independent, RCVS-accredited practice in a picturesque Norfolk market town, close to the beautiful North Norfolk coast and within easy reach of Norwich.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal role with autonomy and the support to thrive. Whether you’re ready to move into a leadership role or already have experience in team development and clinical oversight, this position offers a rewarding balance of strategic input and hands-on veterinary care.
The Role:
* Full-time (up to 40 hours per week) or part-time – they are flexible!
* 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
* No out-of-hours or on-call
* Mixture of consults and ops – you choose the balance

What I am looking for:
I am looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is confident in both clinical practice and leadership settings. You’ll be someone who naturally mentors and supports colleagues, helping them grow and thrive within the team. A forward-thinking mindset is essential, along with a genuine passion for refining processes and delivering the best possible outcomes for clients and their pets. While experience with practice financials and business growth is an advantage, it’s not essential—what matters most is your enthusiasm for contributing to the long-term success and sustainability of the practice.
Why Join?
Joining this practice means having the autonomy to influence both the clinical direction and the culture of the team, allowing you to truly make your mark. You’ll be supported by senior leadership and have access to a comprehensive range of training and development opportunities to help you grow. With no corporate targets to meet, the focus remains firmly on delivering high-quality, compassionate care. Most importantly, your work-life balance is genuinely valued and respected.
If you’re excited by the opportunity to lead a passionate team and make a lasting impact in a thriving independent practice, I would love to hear from you.
