Vacancy: Veterinary Surgeon with dentistry bias - full time or part time (9.5-38 hours per week)

£45,000-£65,000 per annum (pro rata)

After opening in 2023 and quickly growing to a 6-vet practice, our independent, multi-award winning cat-only practice is looking for a veterinary surgeon with a dentistry bias (either a certificate holder or someone who just loves cat dentals!) to grow our team.

What can we offer you?

We have created a really lovely working environment where our team members are fulfilled and supported. We designed our practice to take into account both the needs of cats (with fantastic equipment and facilities) but also to make a beautiful space where our clients and staff feel relaxed and comfortable. We like CPD, we want to keep up to date and are always looking for ways to improve. We will support you to develop your interests and encourage you to become the vet you want to be. 

We are a small family business… which means no corporate targets and the ability to have a great working relationship with the owners rather than tiers of middle management and bureaucracy. If you think we should be doing something differently, we're all ears! We really appreciate our team's input and ideas and don't want any barriers to getting things done well.

We want the whole team to have a good work-life balance and a sensible rota. Full time employees typically work 8.30am-6.30pm or 9.30am-7.30pm 4 days a week, with 1 full weekday off and no weekend / OOH work. Part time or flexible hours are welcome, including shorter days (e.g. school hours). For example, we have one member of the vet team who works 2 days with us and also locums - we’re happy to have another arrangement like this. We may also be able to consider a term time only role for the right candidate.

We would like our next vet to have a dentistry bias as we currently do a large amount of dentistry to a very high standard and take dental referrals. This could be doing dentals every day (we do two every morning, with consults in the afternoon) or doing more of a mixture, with a bias towards more dental days.
