Veterinary Surgeon

Job Code: VA501

Location: Mobile

To coin the British phrase “hodgepodge” meaning a jumble of things, we have a hodgepodge of a role that would suit a confident GP vet who likes to work between different environments, while still having a level of consistency in their rota.




About your new role!




Working between 3 very different practices (not on the same day) you will be providing consistency to our clients and teams week in week out.




Your rota will involve Tuesdays at Croydon, Wednesdays at Caterham, Thursdays and Fridays at New Addington. All 3 sites have their own nuance’s including ultrasound facilities in Caterham, and you will be fully supported in all 3 with experienced support colleagues.




The rota includes a branch Saturday rotation and 1:10 Sunday rotation in the Stone Lion Hospital plus 1 bank holiday per year.




You will have full clinical support from Stone Lion Hospital in Wimbledon, for any complex referrals you may need to make, and OOH care for your patients.




You also have the support from a dedicated regional manager, and regional head vet who has a wealth of knowledge to pass on and can support you in your clinical management needs.


This is a sole charge position, and you will be comfortable with routine GP consultations and surgery, but ample support is provided by management in the region.




Being south of the river, you are ideally located near idyllic Kingston Upon Thames, and then for a night out in London within easy reach of Brixton.




Now let’s get into the nitty gritty:




Our sole charge salary band is £60,000 to £75,000 (FTE) depending on experience and allowing room for growth within the role, as we would welcome the opportunity to provide CPD for further clinical or management development.


There are no on-call requirements for this position.

- 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays
- Generous relocation assistance (where applicable)
- Up to £2,000 CPD budget every year plus up to 5 days' paid CPD leave
