Are you looking for a friendly, independent practice with a close-knit team, excellent clinical standards, and a great work-life balance? We’re working with a well-established, single-site practice in Shropshire that is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their dedicated team.

This practice prioritizes continuity of care, a personal approach, and strong client relationships. With a supportive team of experienced vets and nurses, you’ll have the chance to develop your skills in both medicine and surgery while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

The Role:

  • 4-day week (8:30 am – 6:30 pm, with one 5 pm finish per week and one Friday off in three)
  • 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
  • No OOH – outsourced to VetsNow (occasional rare exceptions for critical cases)
  • 15-minute consults with built-in admin time
  • One dedicated surgery day per week, alongside consulting
  • Experienced nursing team who take an active role in patient care

The Practice:

This is a truly independent, family-feel practice with a focus on high-quality care and strong team collaboration. The team is led by an experienced Head Vet who is stepping back, meaning there is plenty of scope for a new vet to take on responsibility and grow into the role.

Equipment & Facilities:

  • Digital X-ray and dental X-ray
  • Ultrasound
  • Full in-house lab (including CRP, CPL, and urinalysis)
  • Laser therapy
  • Sevo anaesthetic

What’s on Offer?

  • Salary: £45,000 - £75,000 depending on experience
  • 6 weeks’ holiday, plus your birthday off
  • Absence bonus
  • Up to £2,000 CPD allowance
  • Employee discount scheme
