Professional veterinary recruitment

Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Salisbury, Wiltshire

• Are you a qualified and RCVS registered veterinary surgeon or soon to be?
• Are you looking to join an established small animal practice?

Are you looking for...

• A role with no OOH work?
• A better work-life balance?

We are recruiting on behalf of a practice in Salisbury for a Permanent Veterinary Surgeon. This role is full time with shifts from 9am to 6pm, along with Saturdays on a rota. There will be no OOH work or any other emergency duties.

The role would be ideal for a Vet who is perhaps looking to move away from city life to move into the country. It is ideal for a relatively recently qualified Vet who is looking for a supportive role where they gain confidence in procedures and medical cases.

This is an established practice with a lovely loyal client base. They are fully equipped with facilities including dental and digital x-ray along with ultrasound and an in-house laboratory.

The practice has recently gone through a refurbishment, so it provides a lovely modern new environment. They are happy to say they are a close knit and supportive group and provide a harmonious working environment and a good work-life balance.

Who are they looking for:

The right candidate will have good experience in a small animal practice. They are looking for a vet who will be able to perform spay and castrate surgeries but also someone who is looking for a supported role to gain more experience and confidence and help build up to be able to manage cases by themselves.
