Bellevue Veterinary Clinic, Trudoxhill, Frome, South West
Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
Salary up to £60,000 DOE FTE, welcome bonus up to £5,000 and relocation allowance up to £5,000
Bellevue Vets, a Silver ISFM-accredited practice in Frome, is looking for a confident Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly team. Based in a beautifully converted, purpose-designed barn, the practice offers a calm and welcoming environment for both team and clients. Our caseload includes cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, alongside a small number of exotics and wildlife cases brought in by the local community.
You’ll enjoy a balanced mix of consultations and surgery, with procedures that are largely routine but varied enough to keep things interesting. There is real scope to work cases up thoroughly, build continuity and practise in your own style, with support when needed. Facilities include digital X-ray, ultrasound, VetAir dental equipment and multiparameter monitoring, with referral pathways readily available.
You’ll be joining a welcoming team of two vets, four RVNs and a dedicated client care team, all supported by an engaged Practice Director. We also benefit from a visiting orthopaedic specialist and are happy to support further development, including certificate study.
IVC Evidensia is the UK and Europe’s leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals, united by a shared purpose of happier animals, happier owners.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Primary Care Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
Part time 20 hours per week across 2 days. We ideally need someone who can work on a Thursday but can be flexible on the other day during the week. The weekend commitment is 1:4 Saturdays from 9:00am to 1:00pm, and there are no out‑of‑hours or on‑call requirements, allowing you to enjoy a genuine balance between work and life outside the clinic.
