Role
Help lead an independent small animal practice that knows excellent clinical care is built around a strong and supportive team.
We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join Rose Cottage Veterinary Centre.
Our ethos is simple:
We support each other so we can show up at our best for our patients and clients.
The role
Working closely with me as director, you’ll take a leading role in developing our clinical team and standards.
You’ll have genuine autonomy to influence:
- Clinical standards and governance
- Vet development, mentoring and CPD
- Clinical protocols and continuous improvement
- Case discussions and clinical support
- Patient and client care
- The future direction of our clinical service
You’ll still be a hands-on vet, with a varied first-opinion caseload and the opportunity to develop your own clinical interests.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The rota
- No out of hours.
- 4-day week with a mix of consulting, operating and protected leadership time.
- 1 in 4 weekends working with a substantial support team.
Who you are is more important to us than what’s written on your CV. Skills can be developed. The right attitude and ethos are much harder to teach.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Wants to lead, develop and support others
- Has strong clinical judgement
- Is approachable and a good communicator
- Wants genuine influence rather than simply a job title
- Cares about doing things well
- Shares our belief in showing up for colleagues, clients and patients
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
A well-supported team
You’ll be joining a well-supported clinical team including 5 vets, 7 RVNs and 7 clinical support staff, alongside our reception and admin teams.
You won’t be expected to do everything yourself.
Why Rose Cottage?
Because we’re independent.
You’ll work directly with me, have a genuine voice in clinical decisions and help shape the future of the practice.
No corporate layers. No distant head office.
Just a team that cares about doing a great job.
If you want to help lead a practice you can genuinely be proud of, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits:
- Company events
- Employee discount
- Free parking
- On-site parking
- Sick pay
- Professional fees paid
- Annual £2000 CPD budget.
