Veterinary Surgeon

Up to £70,000 FTE DOE | Approx. 35 hours per week | Full or part-time | Flexible hours

We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team at Biggleswade Vets for Pets. Flexibility is really important to us, so whether you're looking for full-time, part-time or something in between, we're happy to have a conversation about the hours and working pattern that would work best for you.

Our ideal rota is approximately 35 hours per week, worked over just three weekdays, alongside a 1 in 4 weekend rota. This gives you a role with plenty of time away from work to enjoy a great work-life balance.

We want our vets to have the time and support they need to provide excellent patient care without constantly feeling rushed.

You'll benefit from:

• 20-minute consultations
• Dedicated time blocked out for lunch and administrative catch-up
• A structured diary, with one vet typically operating and two consulting at the start of the day
• Support from an experienced nursing team throughout your working day

We also have a consistent team of locum vets who regularly choose to return to the practice, which we think says a lot about the welcoming and supportive environment we've created.

If you have a particular clinical interest or would like to work towards a certificate, we'd be keen to support you. Certificate support is available, alongside a generous CPD allowance, and professional development is actively encouraged.

We'd particularly love to hear from vets with an interest in soft tissue surgery or diagnostic imaging, although most importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively and delivering great patient care.

Our equipment includes:

• Digital X-ray
• Ultrasound
• Tonometry
• K-Laser

We're also a Cat Friendly Practice, with facilities including three consultation rooms, a dedicated prep area, separate isolation and kennels, plus an office and kitchen for the team.

Why Biggleswade?

The practice benefits from free parking and is conveniently located close to the train station, helping to make the daily commute straightforward.

• Salary up to £70,000 FTE, depending on experience
• Full-time hours of approximately 35 hours per week
• Part time hours also considered
• Genuine flexibility around working hours and patterns
• 1 in 4 weekend rota

• Dedicated time for lunch and administrative catch-up
• Generous CPD allowance
• Certificate support and encouragement to develop your interests
• Paid memberships such as RCVS
• Experienced veterinary and nursing support
• A stable, knowledgeable and welcoming team
• Supportive and well-organised working environment
• Free parking and easy access to the train station

Whether you're looking to develop your clinical interests, improve your work-life balance or simply join a practice where your time and wellbeing are genuinely valued, we'd love to have a conversation with you.
