We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Veterinary Surgeon to join Longton Vets For Pets, a forward-thinking practice relocating to a state-of-the-art facility—including a CT scanner and hydrotherapy/rehab centre—where your expertise will be valued.
Zoom in on a fantastic opportunity with:
- Month-on-month growth focused on exceptional patient care, teamwork, and professional development
- Flexible working—shape your own hours and rota (e.g., 1 Saturday per four on average, 9am–12pm)

- Thrive in a collaborative, supportive working environment—think consults without silos
- Embrace community-focused care: From dental/surgical suites to hydrotherapy, our facilities offer a full spectrum of expertise
- Locate to a central ST3 2JD site—quick to Stoke-on-Trent’s diverse leisure, schools, and transport links (empty trains to Manchester/London by train in as little time as thinking about it).
The Vets For Pets Vision
We’re a practice for all curious clinicians—your values, skills, and background matter more than outcomes. Here, pets (and their people) come first, but so do you:
- Join a veterinary community: ASPCA-strong values driven by curiosity, compassion, and accountability.
- Nurture your career: We don’t just lip-service to CPD—we’ll pay for it, make it fun, and hype winners together.
- Collaborate: Consults need depth, so ask questions; we’ll shine more together.
- Find mental health equity: Prioritise resilience. Quality-of-life attitudinal tools put pets, professionals, and balanced lifestyles first.
