At Inspiring Vet Care, we’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, collaborative team in Ware, Hertfordshire.

Your career, your direction
We don’t believe career development should follow a one-size-fits-all path.
Ideally we need a confident associate in general consulting and surgery, someone happy to work within a team where case discussion and contributions are encouraged, keen to develop skills and progress and who puts client and pet care at the foremost.
Practice Highlights
- Great links to London
- At least one day of surgeries a week
- Home visits with company car
- 4 or 5 days week - up to you!
- No OOH
- No Sundays
- Can accommodate working around school hours
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.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
Each full time vet gets their own day in theatre with a further 3 days consulting. In a 6 week rotation one weekend will include consulting Saturday morning then taking care of any inpatients for that afternoon with the support of OOH provider over night. Another Saturday morning consulting only.
