Here at Longwater, we are looking for a confident, first-opinion Veterinary Surgeon to join our fantastic team. This role is flexible to fit the interests of the successful candidate and will involve carrying out consultations, routine surgeries, and dental work at our branch practice. This role would suit someone who has the sufficient clinical experience to feel happy working sole-charge, with the full support of our main hospital branch for case discussion and transfer of cases that require further investigation, treatment or hospitalisation as needed. Who we are looking for The ideal candidate would be interested in career progression with support from our Clinical Directors and Practice Managers. You will be someone who will take staff “under their wing” allowing the clinic to prosper and thrive.

The successful candidate would be required to work 2 bank holidays per year at the main hospital as part of a team of experienced vets and nurses.
