Job Description: Our client is seeking an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join a hospital-based first-opinion team with strong surgical capacity and broad diagnostics.

- Using ultrasound, endoscopy and in-house lab results to reach timely, evidence-based decisions
- Partnering with RVNs for safe anesthesia, attentive inpatient care and tidy theatre flow
- Documenting crisp notes and contributing to case discussions that improve patient pathways
Package:
- 39-hour week arranged over 4 or 5 days to balance consults and theatre time
- 1-in-4 Saturday rota with weekdays organized to preserve recovery time
- Daily admin buffer protected for callbacks, results and thorough records
- Four operating theatres, species-separate wards and spacious isolation facilities
- Point-of-care lab and echocardiography available to accelerate decision-making
- Funded CPD with mentoring, journal clubs and support toward certificates
- Core professional registrations covered so you can focus on patients
- Buy/sell holiday flexibility alongside standard leave entitlements
- Wellbeing and practical perks you can tailor to your needs
