Veterinary Surgeon – A Role with Flexibility, Support & a Bright Future!
Are you looking for a part-time role where you’re valued, supported, and truly enjoy coming to work? Want to be part of a friendly, independent practice that puts people and pets before profit? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our team!
We’re a well-established, two-branch practice with a family-centred ethos and a strong belief in treating every pet and person as a unique individual. We’ve recently taken an exciting step by becoming an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), meaning our team has a real say in how the practice is run. No corporate takeovers, no sales targets—just genuine, high-quality care and a positive, supportive working environment.
The Role – Designed Around You
We’re looking for an experienced veterinary surgeon to take on a part-time, sole-charge consulting role at one of our branch surgeries, with full backup from the main site. The hours are fully flexible and can be tailored to suit you, including whether you’d like to incorporate surgery into your role. The position also includes participation in our Saturday morning rota (12pm finish).
If you’re looking for a role with stability, autonomy, and a fantastic team, this could be the perfect fit!
Why Join Us?
1. A practice that puts YOU first – With our Employee Ownership Trust, you’ll have a say in the future of the practice and benefit from tax-free profit shares.
2. Flexibility that fits your life – We understand that work-life balance is important, and we’re happy to create a rota that works for you.
3. A welcoming, friendly team – We’re a close-knit group who genuinely care about each other and our patients.
4. No corporate targets – We prioritise clinical freedom and patient care over numbers, allowing you to practice veterinary medicine the way it should be.
5. Incredible case variety – While dogs and cats make up most of our patients, we also treat rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, reptiles, birds, and even local wildlife!
6. A supportive environment – Our experienced team is always happy to share knowledge, whether it’s complex cases or a friendly chat over coffee.
A Beautiful Place to Live & Work
Our practice is based in a picturesque area of East England, surrounded by stunning countryside, historic architecture, and a real sense of community. The location offers the best of both worlds—peaceful village life with easy access to vibrant nearby towns and cities.
Well-connected transport links make commuting simple, with a direct route to London and other major destinations. Affordable housing and great schools make it an ideal spot for families. Beautiful walking and cycling routes are perfect for those who love the outdoors. Charming independent shops, cosy cafés, and traditional markets create a welcoming, local feel.

Our Ethos: Personalised, High-Quality Care

What Our Clients Say:
“They treated Poppy with dignity, love and care. Thank you so much, wonderful vets!”
“I’ll never forget how supportive you were with Ted. You tried everything but kept things realistic. When the time came, I felt like the whole practice was there for me. My two new rescue dogs will go nowhere else!”
What Our Team Says:
“I love working here because of the incredible team spirit. We recently cared for a dog that had been hit by a car—he came in critically injured, but thanks to our dedicated care, he left a few days later wagging his tail. Moments like that make this job so rewarding.” – Vet Nurse
