The Role

Bishops Vets in Hatfield, Herts are looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon with a surgical bias to join our friendly and welcoming team.

We are a small practice, which allows for good case continuity and the opportunity to develop productive relationships with clients. This is a part time position of 2-3 days a week with a share in the Saturday rota (usually 1 in 3). Our weekday hours are 9am-7pm, and Saturdays are 9am-12 midday. There is no on call. There will be occasional sole charge when colleagues are on holiday and on Saturdays. 

​​​​​​​Salary range for this position is £42,000 - £50,000 (pro rata depending on the number of hours worked).

About Us

We are a busy and well-respected single site practice with a good local reputation - a lot of new clients find us by word of mouth. We are proud to be a silver accredited ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic.

We are a well-equipped practice with recently upgraded digital x-ray facilities (including dental), ultrasound, Idexx blood machines and separate dog and cat wards. We are lucky to have a nice spacious building close to local amenities.

We are located in Hatfield, Hertfordshire which has swift mainline train links to London and is conveniently placed for both the A1(M) and the M25. There is onsite parking and close local amenities such as restaurants + an ALDI supermarket.

Our small and friendly team of part and full time staff is comprised of 3 vets, 4 RVNs and 2 SVNs as well as 4 reception/administrative staff. We are a Training Practice and are really invested in the development of our own SVNs as well as vet students on EMS as this is so important for the future of the profession.

A number of our staff have outside interests in various animal charities and volunteer or raise funds for them, such as Street Vet, the RSPCA, Cats Protection and London Colney Hedgehog Rescue. We also participate in the C4 neutering scheme for cats. Our ethos is to provide tailored clinical care to our patients while also encompassing empathetic and personalised care to our clients in a friendly and fun working environment.

Applicant Requirements 

We are ideally looking for an experienced vet with a surgical bias who is confident in routine and non-routine soft tissue surgeries. Bonus but non-essential would be an interest in orthopaedics, exotics and basic ultrasonography expertise.
