We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team.
Rota patterns that work for you
A normal day would consist of two hours consulting and two hours operating in the mornings with an hour's break for lunch and then consulting in the afternoon.
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career.
There are no night duties at St Mary's as we are covered by Vets Now. The rota is Monday to Friday 9:00am - 6:30pm (with one half day each week), plus a 1 in 3 Saturday morning. There are regular clinical meetings and frequent informal case discussions. Appropriate support is supplied, dependent on the needs of the successful candidate.
Want to know more about us?
