Overview
Salary up to £65,000 plus up to £5,000 Welcome Bonus and up to £5,000 Relocation Allowance. Join our supportive team at Leonard Brothers.
Leonard Brothers Vets have an exciting new opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Vet looking to join a supportive practice, working in whatever way they feel comfortable. A consult-only role can be accommodated if preferred, with access to the expertise of experienced clinicians and advanced practitioners. The practice offers a balance between consults and surgeries, with every vet having the opportunity to perform both in every shift. We offer 15-minute consults and built-in catch-up slots to allow time for notes, calls, or discussion with colleagues.
Fix or flex – work life balance that work for you
Flexible working options are available between 20-36 hours per week. Out-of-hours shifts are limited in the evenings (6:30 pm – 9:00 pm) and at weekends (8:30 am – 5:00 pm). We can adapt rota patterns to suit you, including reduced hours during school holidays or a more flexible pattern to help you achieve the right balance.
