FULL DESCRIPTION
Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal], Wymondham, East of England
Discipline: Small Animal | Full Time, Part Time, Flexible
Salary up to £65,000 DOE, Welcome Bonus up to £5,000
A Practice Where You Can Truly Thrive
As part of the [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] group, which includes branches in Norwich, Long Stratton, Wymondham, Costessey, and Brooke, we work collaboratively to share knowledge, skills, and resources. At Wymondham, we offer digital radiography, modern ultrasound with Doppler, dental radiography (new iM3 X-ray machine coming), three large consult rooms (with a fourth on the way), dedicated prep area and imaging suite, two fully equipped theatres with multiparameter monitors, separate cat and dog waiting areas, kennels, and a peaceful cattery. Our in-house lab includes IDEXX haematology and biochemistry analysers, a urine analyser, and microscope facilities for blood smears, FNAs and cytology. Upstairs, you’ll find a modern staff kitchen, breakout areas, and a clinical office.
A Varied Caseload That Keeps Things Interesting
Alongside dogs and cats, we regularly see small furries like rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, and even the odd bird or rodent. You’ll enjoy a balance of consulting and surgery (75% consults, 25% ops). Surgical procedures range from neutering and dentals to more complex cases such as lump removals, laparotomies, BOAS and TECA procedures and orthopaedics. We aim to work up cases in-house and tailor workloads to individual strengths – especially if you’re studying towards a certificate.
A Team That Lifts Each Other Up
You’ll join a wider team of 19 small animal vets, 21 registered veterinary nurses, four veterinary care assistants, and a committed team of receptionists and support staff. We have certificate holders in dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, and more. Collaboration is at the heart of how we work.
Giving Back to Our Community
We support Dogs Trust, Cats Protection League, Venture Farm, and other welfare organisations. This role is primarily based in Wymondham with some flexibility across branches.
