Job Openings Veterinary Surgeon – Somerset

About the job Veterinary Surgeon – Somerset

This is a cracking permanent vet role for someone who wants top-end pay without giving up their evenings or weekends. No out-of-hours, a light Saturday rota, and a salary that genuinely reflects experience — all in a well-run Somerset practice that values retention over churn.

Location: Somerset
Salary: Up to £70,000 (DOE)
OOH: None
Weekends: 1 in 3 Saturday mornings only
Contract: Permanent

The Role

You'll be working in a supportive first-opinion practice with a loyal client base and sensible appointment flow. The caseload is varied but manageable, with proper nursing support and realistic expectations around your day.

This role is ideal for a vet who wants clinical satisfaction without burnout — and who appreciates a practice that runs on common sense.

What You'll Be Doing

  • First-opinion consultations and routine surgery

  • Managing medical cases with confidence and care

  • Working closely with experienced RVNs and support staff

  • Building strong, long-term client relationships

  • Maintaining excellent clinical and professional standards

What Were Looking For

  • RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon

  • Confident in first-opinion practice

  • Team-focused with a calm, professional approach

  • Someone who values balance as much as quality medicine

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Salary up to £70k — no vague promises

  • No out-of-hours commitments

  • Light, manageable Saturday morning rota

  • Permanent, secure position

  • Supportive, well-organised practice culture
