The Role

You'll be joining a well-organised first-opinion practice with a loyal client base and a manageable caseload. The focus here is on delivering excellent clinical care without running yourself into the ground.

This is a role for a vet who wants high standards, autonomy, and genuine work–life balance.

What You'll Be Doing

  • First-opinion consultations and routine surgery

  • Managing medical cases with confidence and care

  • Working collaboratively with experienced RVNs and support staff

  • Building strong 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 alongside ambition

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Salary up to £80k — reflective of experience

  • True 4-day working week

  • Light Saturday rota

  • No Sundays, no bank holidays, no on-call

  • Permanent, stable position in a fantastic coastal location
