Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon

Location: Worcestershire
Salary: £45,000 – £75,000+ DOE
4-Day Week | No OOH | Independent Practice

Are you looking for a genuinely supportive independent practice where clinical freedom, progression, and work-life balance actually exist?

My client, a thriving independent mixed practice in Worcestershire, is looking for an additional Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join their highly experienced 14-vet team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a vet wanting to develop their medical and surgical skills within a collaborative, progressive environment that actively supports career progression, certificates, and clinical interests.

Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t your average first-opinion role. My client manages a high level of complex medical and surgical cases in-house, offering excellent exposure, strong mentorship, and real clinical satisfaction.

Whether your passion lies in surgery, medicine, imaging, exotics, orthopaedics, or internal medicine, this team genuinely invests in helping vets develop their interests.

The Role
Full-time, 4-day week (8:30am – 6:30pm)
Fixed day off each week
No out-of-hours – dedicated provider covers emergencies
Protected admin time built into the day
Realistic and sustainable rota
Shared weekend rota with a light commitment
Supportive senior vet backup always available

The Practice
You’ll be joining a well-established independent practice with an exceptional local reputation and a genuinely collaborative team culture.

The clinical team includes:
14 experienced Veterinary Surgeons
Multiple certificate holders across surgery, medicine, dermatology, orthopaedics and exotics
9 RVNs and student nurses
Visiting specialists in cardiology and ophthalmology
Chartered physiotherapy support for orthopaedic recovery

Facilities include:
Dental X-ray
Endoscopy & Gastroscopy
Laparoscopic equipment
Dedicated orthopaedic and soft tissue theatre
Multiple ultrasound machines
Advanced imaging and surgical facilities

This is a practice that actively invests in both equipment and people. If there’s a clinical area you’re passionate about, they are genuinely open to supporting it.
