The Role
We have an excellent opportunity for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon to come and join our team here at Links Vets, East Lothian. The role includes a mix of companion animal consulting and surgery. Days will be spent between our main surgery in Haddington and other branches, although there will be the potential to tailor this. Some days will also include sole charge at our branch surgeries.

Candidates would be expected to do a maximum of one evening surgery until 6.30pm per week with 5pm finishes for the rest of the week.

About Us

Links Vets has 5 branches across beautiful East Lothian, with beaches and countless outdoor pursuits on our doorstep. Our main Haddington branch is housed in a purpose built building and equipped with digital xray, ultrasound, dental suite, two dedicated operating theatres, prep room, separate cat and dog ward and 4 large, airy consult rooms. We have visiting orthopaedic, internal medicine and cardiac specialists which allow for internal work up of complex cases, with plans for in house ophthalmology referral service. With such a large, committed team and a low Veterinary Surgeon to client ratio, clinicians can dedicate their time to cases and client communication.

Our team consists of 12 Veterinary Surgeons, 11 Registered Veterinary Nurses and a strong, dedicated Reception team. We are a friendly and relaxed team who enjoys working together in a supportive environment. Certificate training and further development are also actively encouraged and supported.
