Veterinary Surgeon
Vets for Pets
Swindon, England, gb
An opportunity has arisen for a confident and forward-thinking Veterinary Surgeon to join the team at our rapidly growing practice in Scunthorpe!
This is a unique opportunity for you to get stuck into a growing business by bringing your ideas to life to help expand this brilliant practice further. You’ll become a crucial part of a small, friendly team of 1 Vet (studying for a certificate in advanced surgery), 3 RVNs, 1 SVNs, 1 VCA, 2 Client Care Advisors and a Practice Manager, who are fully committed to the practice and our clients.
Our caseload is everything you would expect from an established general practice, offering you plenty of variation to utilise the skills you have gained to date. Your career growth is just as important to us as it is to you, and we will help you with any specific interests you have, with a generous CPD allowance and certification encouraged and fully funded.
As standard, in addition to a salary of up to £65,000, we offer all the benefits you’d expect from a major employer (pension, healthcare, paid memberships plus a few more, such as excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 30% off at Pets at Home). We’re also happy to provide relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if needed (we’re an A+ rated sponsor).
This position can be fully flexible hours, full or part time, with Saturdays on a fair rota basis, shared with the rest of the team. No on call, no OOH and no Sundays! You should be confident in routine surgical and medical cases and comfortable with sole charge. An interest in surgery would also be beneficial, but not a necessity.
Scunthorpe Vets4Pets has the latest state of the art equipment and mod-cons and is based inside Pets at Home on the Lakeside Retail Park. Travelling to and from the practice is easy with bus links within a 5-minute walk, which includes a connection to the nearby train station.

Scunthorpe is a busy industrial town in North Lincolnshire, famed for being the capital of British steel. There’s a growing reputation for the arts locally with attractions including the 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Bath Halls and Plowright Theatre, who host events such as regular Comic Cons and celebrity comedians. If you enjoy the great outdoors, the Normanby Hall Country Park is nearby, and although Scunthorpe itself doesn’t have a beach, it’s just a short drive to the seaside town of Cleethorpes. So, there’s plenty to discover and we’ll make sure you have the work/life balance to enjoy it!
So, if you’re a Vet looking to work in a practice that gives you the support and freedom to progress your career and shape the environment you work from, we’re waiting to hear from you, whatever your background or circumstances.
