Veterinary Surgeon

We have an opportunity for a Small Animal Vet to join our friendly, RCVS accredited practice in Petersfield.

About us:

Originally founded in 1974 by two friends, St. Peter’s Vets has seen great growth over the years, and we now have 4 surgeries across Farlington, Horndean, Liss and Petersfield. All our branches are equipped with the latest healthcare technologies, and laparoscopic surgery and endoscopy are available. We also have an in-house orthopaedic surgeon and a visiting ophthalmologist.

Our 19 veterinary surgeons, along with our nursing and reception team provide exceptional care to our clients and we offer emergency care 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year at the Petersfield surgery.

We also run a successful mobile vet service to offer house visits for routine care, euthanasia’s, blood sampling, medication checks etc.

The Role:

• Salary – £42,000-£60,000 dependent on experience

• Full Time– 40 hours per week over 4 days (some weekend work, currently approx. 1 in 4.5 with time off in lieu the following week)

• No night shifts – we have our own dedicated night team on site allowing for case continuity and excellent patient care

This position offers the opportunity for an all-round GP vet type role with both medicine and surgery aspects, or we can accommodate a consult only/medicine bias if preferred.

The ideal candidate would be a skilled vet who is happy with sole charge, can consult efficiently and who can perform at least basic surgeries. Excellent client care, and the ability to work alone as well as part of a larger team, is a must.
