Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
Bellevue Veterinary Clinic - Frome, Somerset
Salary up to £60,000 DOE FTE, welcome bonus up to £5,000 and relocation allowance up to £5,000
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
Bellevue Vets, part of ivc, are looking for a part-time Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our welcoming and supportive team in the charming market town of Frome.
About Us
We’re a Silver ISFM-accredited practice, based in a beautifully converted barn where character meets modern veterinary medicine. It’s a relaxed, friendly environment where both our clients and our team feel at home.
The Role
A Varied Caseload & Time to Do Things Properly
- You’ll see a lovely mix of cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with the occasional exotic or wildlife patient adding a little extra variety to your day.
- This is a great role for a vet who enjoys a balance of consulting and surgery and values having the time to work cases up properly.
- We really value continuity of care and building lasting relationships with our clients, so you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your patients and follow their journeys with us.
- You’ll also have an experienced team around you, so there’s always someone to bounce ideas off or lend a hand when needed.
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.
Great Facilities & Support
- We’re well equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, VetAir dental equipment and multiparameter monitoring, alongside excellent referral pathways when your patients need that extra level of care.
A Team That Wants You to Thrive
- You’ll be joining a close-knit team of experienced Veterinary Surgeons, RVNs and dedicated Client Care professionals, led by a supportive Practice Director.
- We’re passionate about helping our vets develop and will actively support your CPD, further study and certificate progression, allowing you to build your career around the areas you enjoy most.
A Part-Time Role That Really Works
- This is a 20-hour per week role across two days. We’d ideally love someone who can work Thursdays, but we can be flexible around the second weekday.
- There is a 1:4 Saturday morning rota, 9am–1pm, with no out-of-hours or on-call requirements. So, if you’re looking for a part-time role that genuinely gives you a great balance between work and life outside the practice, this could be a great fit.
