FULL DESCRIPTION

Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal - FTC

[Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] is hiring a Veterinary Surgeon for a fixed-term contract at Vet On The Hill in Caterham, Surrey. This role offers flexible hours, a supportive team, and a competitive package up to £68,000 DOE FTE.

About the Role

We're a close-knit practice and with two of our vets on maternity leave, we're looking for someone experienced to come in and be a genuine part of the team. Hours and start date are genuinely flexible — we'd rather find the right person than hold rigidly to a timetable.

Returning to practice after a career break and want a warm re-entry
An experienced locum who'd welcome a regular base, familiar faces, and a proper team around you
Someone who's always preferred theatre to consulting and wants a role that reflects that

What the Role Looks Like

You choose full time or part time, and we'll build a schedule around you. You'll be joining a strong consulting team and a highly skilled nursing team. Some days will be demanding — but you won't carry it alone.

Benefits

6.6 weeks' holiday including bank holidays – plus your birthday off
Private medical insurance
Enhanced family-friendly leave and pay
24/7 confidential Employee Assistance Programme
£1,250 CPD allowance + 40 hours paid CPD
BVA membership, VDS cover, RCVS fees
Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes
Reduced-cost veterinary care for your own pets
