Veterinary Surgeon – flexible options for experienced vet. Salary up to £65,000
By joining us we will help you develop your career and pursue any area of interest with guidance and support from both practice colleagues and our highly experienced regional team.
We are well-equipped with an ASIF kit and air drill, BOAS surgery instrumentation, dental X-ray, ultrasound, Tonopen, and a multiparameter monitor in the theatre. We also benefit from the services of peripatetic orthopaedic surgeons, such as RATA, to treat patients in-house, and can refer any complex cases to our local specialist centres.
Our nurse team boasts over 50 years of combined experience, providing incredible support and mentorship. Complementing this, our exceptional reception team of three ensures a truly well-rounded and collaborative team that will support your growth.
The Practice was established 7 years ago with the aim of being part of the local community, and we are lucky to have good client retention. We have the management guidance of the Pets At Home Support Office, but very much run the day-to-day clinical side of the Practice using our experience gained through working in other Practices over the past 30 years.
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
