Part Time Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Veterinary Surgeon

Salary up to £70,000 DOE (Pro-rata)

Find a supportive team and a world of opportunity at Usk!

We are looking for a veterinary surgeon who is confident, friendly and a team player, to join our passionate team. Our vets work across our main surgery and branches on a shared rota, with a mix of consulting, surgical, and inpatient work. We have certificate holders in both small animal medicine and surgery, allowing us to not only diagnose and treat the majority of our cases in-house but also provide support to other team members in their career progression.

Typically, our part-time position is 20 hours per week, working between the hours of 8:30 am and 7 pm, between two to four days a week. We know that work-life balance is important, so we are open to discussing working days/hours that would suit you. Our weekends are shared between 6 veterinary surgeons, leaving you to share a 1 in 3 rota. We do not run our own OOH surgery; this is handled within a ten-minute drive to our local VetsNow.

Our people are at the heart

We are a two-site, small animal practice in the heart of Monmouthshire, and our branch surgery is within a ten-minute drive away. Our practice is set a stone's throw away from the Monmouthshire river, which our staff and their dogs enjoy at lunchtimes. We are a five-minute walking distance into Usk Town and situated within the Brecon Beacons. The area offers an abundance for you to do in your downtime away from work. Cardiff and Bristol are both within a 45-minute drive.

We have our own laboratory for in-house use, DR X-ray machine with SignalPet use, dental x-ray and separate dental theatre, along with our prep rooms and main theatre, ultrasound machine, endoscopy, and walk-in kennels.

Meet like-minded professionals

You will be joining a team of 6 veterinary surgeons, 10 nurses, and 9 receptionists and practice manager. We pride ourselves on our longstanding team and are committed to excellent clinical care and extremely high standards, with a silver level cat friendly status from the ISFM and RCVS PSS General Practice accreditation in our main Usk site.

What we're looking for in you

Qualified Veterinary Surgeon with the confidence of sole charge would be beneficial but not essential. We would love for our new team member to be confident, friendly, and passionate about teamwork.
