We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and diverse team at Walton Lodge. Your typical week would include mornings and afternoons made up of consultations.

This role will be based at our Hoddesdon Branch, or alternatively, you can work across Hoddesdon, Stevenage, and Ware. It is mainly sole charge, with close links and time at our main hospital in Ware.
The Rota
We offer flexible working patterns that fit with you and your lifestyle. Whether you are looking to flex your rota hours to balance the school holidays, fix to navigate the school runs, or strike that balance between home and work life. We can offer flexibility that works for you.
