Veterinary Surgeon - Step into a role where your passion for surgery is genuinely encouraged
Looking for more surgery and the chance to truly develop your skillset?
Medivet Newcastle-under-Lyme is recruiting a Veterinary Surgeon with a strong interest in surgery to join our friendly, well-established practice. This role is ideal for someone keen to develop their surgical skillset and an interest in orthopaedics would be a bonus. You’ll work alongside our Branch Partner, Paul, who has a strong medical bias—so a surgically minded vet would perfectly complement the clinical offering within the practice.
You’ll be joining a close-knit, supportive team of Partner Paul, a Head Veterinary Nurse, Registered Veterinary Nurse, Veterinary Care Assistant, and two Client Care Assistants, all dedicated to delivering high-quality, personal care to our loyal client base. The practice is well-equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab facilities, and a dedicated prep and theatre space.
This role includes one day of sole charge per week, so we’re looking for someone confident in their clinical decision-making who enjoys a balance of autonomy and team support. We also offer excellent opportunities for progression, including access to our clinical communities and support for further development, with funding available for certificates.
