Veterinary Surgeon

Job Description

We have exciting plans to grow our modern and busy practice in the riverside town of Maidstone, so if you’re a forward thinking Vet looking for a new role where you can bring your ideas to life, we could have the perfect position for you!

Maidstone Vets4Pets is a standalone practice offering you the environment, caseload and equipment needed to utilise the skills you have gained to date whilst also giving you plenty of opportunity to develop further, with support for postgraduate qualifications, CPD and training in your areas of interest.

You’ll be joining a talented and friendly clinical team made up of a 5 Vets, 1 Head RVN, 5 RVN, 1 SVN, and 3 VCA’s as well as a fantastic supportive non-clinical team including a Practice Manager. Growing, developing and retaining talent within our team is really important to us, with multiple colleagues with 10-18 years service with us and our CCA team working towards BVRA accreditation! We hold a variety of interests within our clinical team too with 2 of our vets already holding certificates in medicine and surgery. If you have a particular interest in surgery or diagnostic imaging  that would be wonderful, but not essential. 

We see a wide variety of cases in the practice and carry out all routine surgery as well as soft tissue and some basic orthopaedics. We have all of the usual toys including digital X-ray and ultrasound, and we will certainly consider the purchase of further specialist equipment should it benefit the team and practice.

This position can be fully flexible hours, full or part time, with 1 in 3 weekends on a fair rota basis, shared with the rest of the team. There is minimal sole charge and no OOHs responsibility ensuring both a great work/life balance and the opportunity to bounce ideas around with colleagues.

As well as a career path built for you and a salary of up to £70,000 dependant on experience, we offer all the benefits you’d expect from a major employer (pension, healthcare, paid memberships etc.) plus a few more, such as excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 20% off at Pets at Home). We’re also happy to provide relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if wanted (we’re an A+ rated sponsor).

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to help build and shape our surgery with the support and guidance of an experienced industry network. You will need to be confident with all routine surgical and medical cases but perhaps most importantly, you will be a personable and approachable vet who enjoys building relationships with our lovely patients, clients and the wider team.

Maidstone is conveniently located for easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside and beaches, and within easy reach of both Gatwick and Heathrow airports and the Eurostar. In addition, we also offer free onsite parking.
