Job Openings Veterinary Surgeon – Essex

About the job Veterinary Surgeon – Essex

This is a standout opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon who wants top-end pay without top-end burnout. A 4-day working week, a fair 1 in 4 weekend rota, and a salary that genuinely reflects experience — all wrapped up in a well-run, sensible practice.

Location: Essex
Salary: Up to £70,000 (DOE)
Working pattern: 4 days per week
Weekends: 1 in 4

The Role

You'll be joining a supportive first-opinion practice with a loyal client base and a manageable caseload. The focus here is on quality medicine, realistic consult times, and teamwork — not rushing from one case to the next.

This role suits a vet who wants to enjoy their clinical work and their time off.

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 clinical quality

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Salary up to £70k — no vague up to games

  • 4-day working week — more life, less burnout

  • Fair 1 in 4 weekend rota

  • Permanent, secure position

  • Supportive, well-organised practice culture
