Looking for a busy, well-equipped practice where you’ll have variety, a supportive team around you and plenty of opportunity to develop your clinical interests?
We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and inclusive team in Derby, working a 4-day week with no OOH.
About The Practice
You’ll be joining an experienced and proactive team of 4 Vets, 6 RVNs, 1 VCA and 5 CCAs, all working together to provide a high standard of care to our small animal patients.
Our clinical team benefits from a wealth of experience. Our Joint Venture Partner has 30 years of clinical experience, including more than 20 years within Emergency and Critical Care, alongside a postgraduate certificate in Small Animal ECC.
Our nursing team is equally experienced, led by a Head Nurse with 20 years in the profession, including 11 years within the practice and 9 years in Emergency and Critical Care.
Behind the scenes, our longstanding Client Care team knows the practice inside out and helps make sure each day runs as smoothly as possible.
Develop your clinical interests
This is a busy practice with a varied small animal caseload, making it a great environment for a Vet who enjoys variety and wants to continue developing clinically.
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.
We’ve recently introduced peripatetic orthopaedics alongside improvements to our surgical environment, with the longer-term ambition of carrying out more orthopaedic work in-house.
We’re also keen to develop our cardiology and diagnostic imaging capabilities, as well as expanding our laboratory equipment to include point-of-care electrolyte and blood gas analysers.
Our current facilities include:
- Digital X-ray
- Dental X-ray
- Ultrasound
- IDEXX analysers
- HT Vista
- Laser
