Mixed Veterinary Surgeon
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne Area
Salary: Competitive DOE
Job Type: Permanent | Full-Time or Part-Time Considered
About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Mixed Veterinary Surgeon to join a long-established independent mixed practice in the Newcastle upon Tyne area.
This role would suit a vet with 2+ years' experience who enjoys the variety of mixed practice and is confident with routine consultations, surgery, and occasional sole charge. The caseload is approximately 80% small animal, 15% equine, and 5% farm, providing an excellent balance for someone looking to maintain and develop their mixed practice skills.
The practice is looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a supportive team and is keen to continue developing both clinically and professionally.
About the Practice
This well-established independent practice has been caring for the local community for over 100 years, building a strong reputation for delivering high-quality veterinary care across companion animals, equine patients, and farm animals.
The practice operates across multiple branches, with vets working between sites throughout the week, providing a varied caseload and excellent continuity of care.
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.
One of the standout features of the practice is its own out-of-hours service, giving vets the opportunity to manage a diverse range of emergency cases while working within a highly supportive environment.
Experienced nurses triage all out-of-hours calls before involving the vet, and there is always veterinary support available, ensuring no sole-charge out-of-hours work.
