Part Time Veterinary Surgeon

Experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon Vacancy – Join One of the Top 10 Practices in the Country!

Due to one of our vets relocating, a rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced small animal veterinary surgeon to join our award-winning team at Emersons Green Veterinary Surgery. We are seeking a dedicated and motivated individual who is keen to be involved in all aspects of veterinary practice, with a special interest in mentoring and supporting others. While a certificate holder or someone with a keen interest in medicine would be fantastic, this is not essential.

At Emersons Green Veterinary Surgery (EGVS), we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional veterinary care and fostering a supportive, family-like atmosphere. Our practice has been recognised with multiple prestigious awards, including Petplan Practice of the Year, Vet of the Year, and Veterinary Practice Design awards. Despite these accolades, we have maintained our close-knit, family-run feel, with both founding directors still actively involved in the practice.

• Work Schedule: 27-30 hours per week, spread over 3 days with alternating Fridays off. You will also participate in our Saturday rota, working 1 in 4 or 5 Saturdays (08:30 – 14:30).

• Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 (pro-rata for 40 hours/week).

We are proud to be an ISFM Gold Cat Clinic and have been a Fear Free Practice for 8 years. Our clinic is equipped with the latest technology, including:

• Digital radiography and two digital dental suites.
• A full ophthalmology suite.
• Fully equipped labs, including digital cytology.
• Videoscope and multiparameter anaesthesia monitoring.
• Access to telemedicine.

We regularly rank in the top 10 of IVC practices based on the current IVC Metrics Dashboard.

• Experience: Our clinical team has a broad range of experience, from 2 to 40 years. We have 3 certificate nurses specialising in dentistry, anaesthesia, and ECC, 2 Advanced Practitioners, and access to a weekly to bi-weekly visiting diagnostic imager who is an RCVS Fellow.
• Referral Services: We provide in-house referrals in dentistry, diagnostic imaging, and ophthalmology, and we host a visiting orthopaedic surgeon.
• Technology & Workflow: We use up-to-date technology, including our bespoke Merlin PMS diary system, to streamline workflows and ensure that you can spend quality time with clients and their pets. Appointments are a minimum of 20 minutes, with flexibility to extend as needed.

Located just outside the town, our practice is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with excellent access to Bath, Bristol, the Cotswolds, and Devon. For those who enjoy cycling, we have ample cycle paths and a Cycle to Work scheme to support a greener commute.

We believe that our people are the heart of our practice, and we invest in our team, our premises, and our processes to ensure the best possible working environment.
