Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon
Part-Time | Wiltshire (Market Town Location)
Salary: £45,000–£65,000 DOE

We are supporting a proudly independent veterinary group in Wiltshire seeking an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join their team on a part-time basis, with some weekend involvement.

This role is ideal for a vet with some UK experience who wants to develop medical and surgical skills within a friendly, collaborative, non-corporate environment. You will be based at a well-established branch practice with a loyal client base and a consistent, supportive nursing team.

As a branch vet, you will manage your own medical and surgical caseload, with full support from the group’s state-of-the-art hospital nearby. The hospital provides full OOH and referral-level support, meaning no OOH commitments for this role. Facilities include advanced diagnostics and access to certificate holders in medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, and imaging (including CT).

The ownership team offers flexible working patterns and structured career development. Their ethos is “large enough to cope with the unexpected, small enough to know everyone by name,” creating a supportive and inclusive culture.

Work–life balance:
Set 2-hour lunch break every day
Alternating 4- and 5-day weeks
Average 7.5-hour working day
One weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) every 5 weeks
No night emergencies

Package includes:
£45,000–£65,000 DOE
Five weeks’ holiday plus bank holidays
Unlimited CPD (where there is a relevant business need)
RCVS and VDS fees paid
Private healthcare
Workplace pension
Staff discount
Employee Assistance Programme
100% attendance bonus
Enhanced maternity pay

The practice is located in Wiltshire with excellent access to major road networks, beautiful countryside, and a high quality of life.

Requirements:
Prior UK small animal practice experience
Confidence managing a varied medical and surgical caseload
Strong communication and client care skills

For vets seeking a highly clinical, independent role with excellent support, development, and a family-like team environment, this is a standout opportunity.
