A work life more inspiring at Vets Now Chesterfield

We have an opportunity in Chesterfield, via our Cutting Edge programme, for a Vet Surgeon with a keen interest in emergency and critical care. Our Chesterfield clinic has a steady, varied caseload – perfect for continued development. Working on average 40 hours per week over 3 shifts, our rota patterns have been designed with work-life balance at the heart of them. You will work no more than 3 shifts in a row and we aim to build in an extended period of time off every month which maximises your ability to pursue your other interests.

Cutting Edge - your first step into Emergency and Critical Care

At Vets Now, we are committed to the development of the next generation of the veterinary profession. That’s why we heavily invest in our induction programmes to support new Vet Surgeons in discovering a route into emergency practice.
