Will your next career move be to join our hugely successful and established practice in Leicester Fosse Park? We are seeking an experienced veterinary surgeon to join our team!
Our partners, Sameer and Shabbir, have a number of years' experience between them and are both practical, proactive, and very approachable, enabling great relationships and fostering opportunities. They now have two fantastic practices just 6 miles apart and at Fosse Park we have a large team consisting of 5 Vets, 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 Student Veterinary Nurse, 3 Animal Care Assistants and 7 Receptionists and a Practice Manager.
You will work with modern state-of-the-art equipment including modern veterinary equipment for surgery including orthopaedic, soft tissue, digital x-ray, ultrasound, IDEXX blood machines, and dental x-ray. Sameer routinely performs Orthopaedic surgery.
Each of our vets has a specific interest which makes a versatile and a well-rounded team. We are an RCVS accredited practice with a robust set of protocols that are regularly changing to be in line with best practice and gold standard. We have strong organic growth. Our clients and their pets are at the centre of everything we do and we are looking for a vet who shares the same values as us. We are always open to ideas of how we can better ourselves, the team, and the care we provide, or build the practice further within our local community. Recently our hard work has been recognised and we are proud to have been nominated for Petplan Practice of the Year 2021.
Our nursing team has a very clinical mindset, like being part of schedule 3 procedures, and helping the team out.
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.
Role
The role is full-time working 40 hours per week which will include 1:3 Saturdays (9:00 – 5:00pm) but no OOH, meaning all of our colleagues can enjoy an excellent work/life balance.

We are looking for an experienced vet with a minimum of 3 years' experience. You should have good communication skills, be a team player, and enjoy the variety provided by the clients and colleagues.
We really enjoy developing our colleague's careers and can support with study towards a certificate if you wish, and when the Partners take time off, the team support each other and our management team works really well together.

Sameer and Shabbir can provide the following benefits:
- Salary up to £65,000 (dependent on experience)
- Generous CPD allowance
- Exclusive company discounts
- Support towards Certificates and career development
