Veterinary Surgeon - Essex - Full or Part Time

I'm helping a brilliant small animal practice in Essex find a confident, capable Veterinary Surgeon to join their growing team. This is a great opportunity for someone who values clinical freedom, likes to fully work up their cases, and thrives in a friendly, low-drama environment.

Why this role stands out:

100% small animal caseload

No out-of-hours

1 in 4 weekends (half days, both Saturday and Sunday)

Surgery between 11-4, with consults either side

Flexibility for full or part time hours

You'd be joining a strong, tight-knit team of vets, RVNs, and support staff who genuinely back each other. They're experienced, efficient, and passionate about practicing proper veterinary medicine-not cutting corners.

You'll have time and space to do your work properly, and you'll be encouraged to pursue your own interests-whether that's clinical development or shaping the way care is delivered. There's a genuine team-first mindset here, and your voice will matter from day one.

The package (pro rata):

Salary up to £65,000 depending on experience

6.6 weeks holiday including bank holidays

£1750 CPD allowance

Paid RCVS + two memberships

VDS cover

Enhanced parental leave

Discounted vet care

Private healthcare support (physio, dental, mental health etc.)

Employee perks & wellbeing initiatives

Career progression opportunities

This is a genuinely supportive, no-nonsense practice that just wants good vets to do good work. If that sounds like your kind of place, I'd love to tell you more
