Salary up to £65,000 DOE, plus Relocation Allowance up to £5,000 and Welcome bonus up to £5,000.

We are currently looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly team in Northampton. This role has no OOH or on-call. Working 40 hours a week both 4x10 hours and 5x8 hours patterns are available with Saturday shifts on a rota (with time off in lieu).

Our flexible approach to rota patterns can truly enrich your work-life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you need to do the school pick up, need reduced hours during school holidays or would simply like a more flexible rota pattern we can fix or flex our patterns to suit you.

Our First Opinion team enjoy working closely alongside our referral Veterinary Surgeons, who are certificate holders in a variety of small animal disciplines. You will have clinical independence, utilising our well-equipped internal lab alongside in-house endoscopy and on-site CT (as well digital radiography, doppler ultrasonography, purpose-built dental suite, and mobile MRI service).

Our referral teams are ready to help; you will rarely have to refer a case externally, and you can follow the investigations that will be happening in the same building. We are the perfect environment for learning new skills and achieving advanced qualifications. All of our branches have recently enjoyed full refurbishment to create a truly modern working environment, in-line with other referral hospitals.
