Job description

OOH Veterinary Surgeon

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a progressive, RCVS-accredited Out-of-Hours service in North Wiltshire. This rare opening comes as part of an expanding emergency care team within a well-established hospital and branch group.

About the Role

The position offers a rota of 7 nights on, 14 nights off (average 31.5 hours per week), providing an excellent work-life balance. The role involves sole charge working, with the support of a dedicated and experienced RVN each night.

Location

The hospital is conveniently located close to the M4 and a mainline train station, making it easily accessible. The area offers the best of both worlds – from the natural beauty of the Cotswolds to nearby vibrant cities such as Bath, Bristol, and Cardiff, with London just an hour away by train.

Salary & Benefits (pro rata)

• Salary up to £65,000 inclusive of holiday pay

• 6.6 weeks’ holiday including bank holidays

• £1,750 CPD allowance (higher for post-graduate qualifications)

• RCVS & VDS fees plus one other membership

• Cycle to work scheme
