Job Description

Take the lead in surgery and shape your own caseload

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who wants to focus more on surgery and take real ownership of their clinical work. If you’ve been looking for a role where your surgical skills can grow—and where you can truly make your mark—this position offers exactly that.

Based in the welcoming market town of Daventry, you’ll step into a practice where your surgical interest is not only supported but needed.

Why this role is different

Unlike many roles where surgical cases are shared across a team, here you’ll become the go-to vet for surgery. With no other surgically focused vets on site, you’ll naturally build and manage your own caseload, giving you the chance to:

  • Strengthen your confidence in surgery
    Expand into more advanced procedures over time
    Develop a clinical niche within the practice

You’ll also be supported by a friendly, experienced team and a loyal client base who value continuity of care.

The practice environment

The clinic is well-equipped to support both routine and more complex cases, with facilities including:

  • Ultrasound and ECG
    Dental suite
    In-house laboratory
    Separate wards for cats and dogs

The location offers a balance of peaceful countryside living with convenient transport links via the M1 and A45, making it both accessible and enjoyable to live in.

Your role in practice

You’ll have a varied and rewarding workload, combining surgery with general clinical responsibilities.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Performing a wide range of surgical procedures
    Managing cases from consultation through to recovery
    Creating tailored treatment plans for patients
    Building strong, trusting relationships with clients
    Supporting and mentoring colleagues within the team

Working pattern

  • Full-time: 40 hours across 4 days
    Part-time applications welcome

Weekend rota:

  • 1 in 3 Saturdays, or
    1 in 6 full weekends at a nearby 24-hour hospital
    No out-of-hours commitments

What we’re looking for

This role would suit someone who:

Holds MRCVS qualification
Has solid clinical experience and confidence in surgery
Is ready to take ownership and grow a surgical caseload
Enjoys working collaboratively while also leading in their area
Is motivated to develop both personally and professionally

What you’ll receive in return

 Health & Wellbeing

    24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
    Life assurance (3x salary)

 Time Off5

  • weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays

    Sabbatical opportunities with length of service
