Veterinary Surgeon

Are you a passionate and skilled vet looking for a new opportunity to take your career to the next level? We are looking for an experienced vet to join our team and help provide exceptional care to our large and loyal client base. With flexible work, great benefits, and an excellent work-life balance, this is the perfect chance to advance your career and shape your own vet career journey while working in a supportive and collaborative environment.

About us:
Our practice is independently run, by Dan our Practice Owner, supported by a fantastic team, who are committed to delivering an outstanding level of service in the community. The team is supportive and really like to push each other to achieve their career goals, so CPD and certificates are highly encouraged.

In practice, we carry out both routine and non-routine surgical procedures including orthopaedics and most soft tissue surgery; examples include thyroidectomy, reconstructive surgery, anal gland removal and cystotomy. We also have a dedicated in-house lab, digital x-ray machine, dental machine, and ultrasound machine.

Middleton is located on the North side of Manchester only 30 minutes outside of the city centre and is easily accessible via buses and trains to Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, and Manchester. For those who enjoy the countryside, Heaton Park and Alkrington Nature Reserve are under 10 minutes from the practice. The practice is also under 10 minutes from the M60, providing an ideal commuting journey for those coming from further afield.

About you:
We are looking for an experienced vet to join the team, ideally with a strong surgical bias which would allow us to increase our surgery days in practice. However, if you have interests in other areas, we are still very keen to meet you.

You should be comfortable in both consults and surgery as sole charge will be required. Enthusiasm and passion for what you do is essential, as well as providing an excellent and comprehensive service to all clients and patients.

We would be delighted for you to join the team, and you would be supported by our current colleagues, including our vet, Head RVN, 1 SVN, and our non-clinical team which includes a Practice Manager, Head Receptionist, 2 Receptionists, and two VCA’s.

• Up to £70,000 per year (DoE, FTE) more will be considered depending on experience and additional qualifications.
• CPD allowance with the option to complete a certificate* 5 CPD days per year, additional to your holiday allowance.

• Excellent colleague discounts with 25% off non-prescription products and 30% off everything else; exclusive to the Middleton practice*. You will also receive 20% off from Pets at Home online and in-store.

This role will suit a vet that can work either 20, 30, or 40 hours per week. Some Saturday mornings at 9am to 12pm will be included. However, we are truly flexible to create a role that works for you. If you are looking for a part-time role, please get in touch, and we can see how we can support you.
