Veterinary Surgeon – flexible options for experienced vet. Salary up to £65,000

By joining us we will help you develop your career and pursue any area of interest with guidance and support from both practice colleagues and our highly experienced regional team.

We are well-equipped with an ASIF kit and air drill, BOAS surgery instrumentation, dental X-ray, ultrasound, Tonopen, and a multiparameter monitor in the theatre. We also benefit from the services of peripatetic orthopaedic surgeons, such as RATA, to treat patients in-house, and can refer any complex cases to our local specialist centres.

Our nurse team boasts over 50 years of combined experience, providing incredible support and mentorship. Complementing this, our exceptional reception team of three ensures a truly well-rounded and collaborative team that will support your growth.

The Practice was established 7 years ago with the aim of being part of the local community, and we are lucky to have good client retention. We have the management guidance of the Pets At Home Support Office, but very much run the day-to-day clinical side of the Practice using our experience gained through working in other Practices over the past 30 years.

We’re ideally looking for a confident, experienced vet who is happy consulting, performing routine surgical procedures and is comfortable with some sole charge. We're ready to invest in the equipment and ongoing CPD you need, including a certificate, to help you reach your professional goals.

A healthy work-life balance is key: that's why we've carefully designed our schedule to help you thrive, both in and out of the clinic. The role is part time, with a shared weekend rota. Plus, with no out-of-hours duties, your evenings and most weekends are completely free!

We offer:

• A salary up to £65,000 FTE, depending on experience
• 5 weeks’ holiday, plus bank holidays
• Generous CPD allowance and a certificate supported
• RCVS, VDS, and BVA fees paid
• Yearly car park pass paid for by the Practice
• Life assurance (4x salary)
• Exclusive discounts at Pets at Home, Groom Room, and Vet Group

Totton itself is situated on the edge of the New Forest National Park, just west of Southampton, and within easy reach of the coast. Whether you’re a nature lover, a beach goer, or just looking for a lovely place to live and work, it’s all right here.
