We have a fantastic opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team at Medivet Weymouth - a busy, well-established branch led by an experienced and clinically progressive Branch Partner. Located in the vibrant seaside town of Weymouth on the stunning Dorset coast, the practice offers a high standard of patient care, strong teamwork, and a warm community feel, making it an excellent place to thrive both personally and professionally.
This is a multi-vet practice with a highly capable clinical and support team including several RVNs, a Student Veterinary Nurse, a Patient Care Assistant and Client Care Assistants, all working together in a smooth, collaborative environment. We regularly receive compliments from clients and locums alike on how efficiently and positively the team operates. Our nurses are empowered and active in delivering excellent care - leading clinics, performing Schedule 3 procedures, assisting in surgeries including dental work, and contributing to a vibrant and supportive atmosphere.
The practice itself is spacious, bright, and well-equipped with two consult rooms, a clean theatre, designated dispensary, and an in-house laboratory offering biochemistry, haematology, urinalysis, and microscopy. We also have an x-ray suite with ultrasound, a large prep room with a specific dental area and overhead lighting, and otoscopes in consult and prep areas. Nurses also make use of a third consulting space in the lab. Our cat and dog wards are thoughtfully designed with sound separation and glass-fronted kennels to reduce stress for our patients, and each room has independent air conditioning and heating. To top it off, there’s a large, enclosed garden - perfect for a quick breath of fresh air between consults.
This is a full-time permanent position covering 40 hours per week, but we’re also open to part-time arrangements for the right candidate. The caseload is varied and includes a good balance of consultations and surgery, making it ideal for a veterinary surgeon who enjoys both elements of practice life and wants to build meaningful, ongoing relationships with clients and their pets. The Branch Partner has a strong interest in soft tissue surgery, regularly performing complex procedures such as BOAS and TECA, which gives a great opportunity to observe and learn or contribute, depending on your experience and interests.
Weymouth is a fantastic place to live and work - from the golden sandy beaches and working harbour to the charming town centre and access to the nearby Jurassic Coast. It’s a dream location for anyone who enjoys watersports, coastal walks, or just the slower pace of life outside of work, while still being well-connected to other towns and cities in Dorset and beyond.
If you're a confident, compassionate vet looking to join a progressive, welcoming practice in a truly scenic part of the country, we’d love to hear from you.
