Veterinary Surgeon

About Us

With 5 practices in the group, our vets are based at a max of 2 sites. Better yet, one of our sites takes referral cases in Dentistry, Orthopaedics, Soft tissue Surgery, and Ophthalmology. We have a high percentage of experienced Vets with different skill sets and have a really great support team of qualified and student nurses too! 

We're keen to push forward and extend our services, fully supporting the interests of our team and helping progress the profession. We don't run an Out of Hours service but look after our inpatients on a rota basis and would be happy to look into liaising with our emergency provider if someone does have an interest in Emergency Medicine.

The Role

We're looking for a permanent small animal Vet to work at our Oundle and Thrapston sites. Oundle is our busiest practice and where our inpatients stay and Thrapston is growing at a rate of knots, they are only a few miles apart and clients and staff are used to moving between the two so case continuity is easy.

• We are open to full and part-time applications and will consider flexible working requests.
• Full time for us is 4 days a week, one of which is a later shift and together with a nurse, this is the night you are responsible for any inpatients.
• We work just 1 Saturday morning in 6 with 1 full weekend in 6 (slightly shorter full day on a Saturday and 4 hours on a Sunday together with inpatient care alongside a nurse) with time 2 half days off in addition to your normal day following your full weekend.

Applicant Requirements

You must be an RCVS registered small animal Vet, experience is desirable but not compulsory. If you have extra qualifications or are studying towards them we'll support you or utilise them. If you are relocating, we may be able to offer financial support. If you are returning to work after a break - many of us have a family and completely understand, we have a fantastic refresher course available too!
