Permanent veterinary surgeon

This is a clean, flexible vet role with real balance baked in. A 4-day working week, a fair share of Saturday mornings, and a salary band that flexes properly depending on experience — not box-ticking.

If you want to do good medicine without grinding yourself down, this one makes sense.
