Permanent Experienced Mixed Veterinary Surgeon ~ Come Join Our Independent Family.
We’re looking for an experienced Mixed Veterinary Surgeon to join our long-established independent practice and become part of a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
First things first… we’re incredibly proud of the people who work here. Many of our team have been with us for years, and that’s because we’ve worked hard to create a supportive, friendly environment where good vets can do what they do best.
If you still enjoy the variety that mixed practice brings and want to work somewhere that values both clinical standards and teamwork, we’d love to hear from you 💙
What you’ll be doing:
Enjoying a genuinely varied mixed caseload:
- 🐶 ~80% small animal
- 🐴 ~15% equine
- 🐄 ~5% farm
- A mix of consults, surgery, ambulatory work and everything in between
- Working alongside an experienced, supportive team who are always happy to help
- Building great relationships with clients who value continuity and personal service
🐾 What we’re looking for:
- A Veterinary Surgeon with 7+ years’ experience
- Someone who genuinely enjoys mixed practice and the variety it brings
- A confident clinician who works well as part of a team
- Good communication skills and a positive attitude
- Full driving licence and ability to drive a manual vehicle
- Someone who enjoys their work and doesn’t take themselves too seriously
🐾 What you’ll get from us:
Because experience should be recognised and rewarded:
- Competitive salary from £65,000+, dependent on experience
- Following successful completion of 6-month probation period, you will also receive a monthly profit share scheme, birthday leave and discounted pet care
- 6+ weeks annual leave to start, with additional holiday awarded as your service grows, up to 8 weeks
- Salary review at 12 months, plus annual reviews
- BUPA healthcare
- Workplace pension
- Generous CPD allowance and ongoing training
- RCVS and VDS fees paid
- Full sick pay after one year’s service
🐾 The rota:
- Full-time or part-time considered (minimum 3 days per week)
- 1 Saturday morning in 3
- Shared bank holiday cover
- Small contribution to our 1-in-6 weekend on-call rota
- For every weekend on call worked, you’ll receive either the following Friday or Monday off, giving you a long weekend in return
- ✨ You’ll never be on-call alone. Weekend cover is shared within a supportive group of three vets
📍 Why Newcastle?
You’ll have easy access to beautiful coastline, countryside, national parks and vibrant city life—all while enjoying a fantastic cost of living and excellent transport links.
⭐ Why join us?
- Because we’re independent, so we can actually be flexible and people-focused.
- Because you’ll be joining a supportive network of 8 practices across the North East, giving you access to a wealth of experience, knowledge and opportunities while still feeling part of a close-knit team.
- Because we believe experienced vets should be trusted and supported.
- And because we know a great team can make all the difference
📩 If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d love to hear from you.
