    Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking to join a friendly, supportive practice where you'll genuinely make a difference?

    At Manchester Fort Vets for Pets, we're a relatively new and growing practice with a small, close-knit team who are passionate about delivering exceptional patient care. As a smaller practice, every team member plays an important role, and we pride ourselves on creating a collaborative environment where everyone is valued, supported and encouraged to develop.

    We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon with at least one year's post-qualification experience to join our team.

    This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a welcoming practice where you can build strong client relationships, develop your clinical interests and enjoy working alongside an experienced and supportive team.

    About Us

    Located within the Pets at Home store at Manchester Fort Retail Park, our practice benefits from modern facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and plenty of onsite parking.

    Situated in the Cheetham Hill area, we're conveniently located close to Manchester city centre, the AO Arena and excellent transport links, making this an ideal location for commuters.

    Meet the Team

    You'll be joining a friendly and dedicated team consisting of:

    • 1 Veterinary Surgeon with a PGCert in Small Animal Surgery
    • 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses
    • Student Veterinary Nurse
    • Veterinary Care Assistant
    • 1 Practice Manager
    • 2 Receptionists

    As a growing practice, we enjoy working closely together and supporting one another to provide the highest standards of care for both our patients and clients.

    About Our Practice Owner

    Practice Owner and Lead Vet, Alex, graduated in 2017 and has been part of the Vets for Pets family for seven years. With a particular passion for surgery and a PGCert in Small Animal Surgery, Alex enjoys mentoring colleagues, performing complex procedures and managing challenging medical cases. His supportive leadership style and commitment to clinical excellence help create an environment where team members can learn, develop and thrive.

    About the Role

    This is ideally a full-time position, although we're happy to discuss flexible or part-time hours for the right candidate.

    We're looking for someone who is confident with routine consultations and soft tissue surgeries, and comfortable taking occasional sole charge. Most importantly, we're seeking a team player who enjoys building relationships with clients, supporting colleagues and providing excellent patient care.

    If you're earlier in your career and looking for additional support and development, we'd still love to hear from you.

    • Salary up to £60,000 depending on experience
    • No out-of-hours requirements
    • Generous CPD allowance
    • Funded certificates and support for clinical development
