Veterinary Surgeon

There are many reasons why you will enjoy taking our growing practice in Banbury to the next level - from the supportive team and fantastic facilities to the attractive location and great benefits package. Add in the flexibility we offer around the hours and rota, and this could be the perfect opportunity to find a role with work-life balance that lets you love what you do at work and at home.

Rewarding environment

At our thriving Banbury practice, you will find an environment designed for more rewarding work. It is kitted out to a very high standard with 3 consult rooms, full in-house laboratory, digital CR radiography, and ultra-sound. There is a well-equipped surgical theatre with diathermy, capnography, and multi-parameter monitor. And piped anaesthetic gases in all areas of the surgery.

Varied caseload

Here you will take care of much-loved pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, and raptors - from routine health consults to complex medical cases and orthopaedic surgery. More than 30% of our active client base are insured, with the majority on a health plan.

Supportive colleagues

In all you do, you will enjoy the support of a terrific team including a highly experienced and hugely committed Practice Manager and an established, dedicated nursing team with a variety of experience. You will also be supported by colleagues in the Pets at Home store and the dedicated Vets4Pets support office.

Flexibility

We offer flexible hours, and you can choose to join us on a full or part-time basis depending on your needs and preferences. This role will ideally cover a minimum of 25 hours a week, preferably including 1 in 3 weekends. If you are looking for something different, we encourage you to get in touch. The most important thing is to find the right person for the role.

Growth and development

We are looking for a confident, talented, and experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is personable and forward-thinking. In return for helping us develop the practice, you can look forward to plenty of opportunities for training and CPD, including funding towards certificates. There is also the opportunity to become a practice owner with our Joint Venture Partnership model.

Excellent benefits

We offer a salary of up to £60,000 pa depending on experience + £5,000 Welcome Bonus. As you would expect, we offer all the standard benefits (pension, healthcare, paid memberships, etc.) plus a few more, such as excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 30% off at Pets at Home). We are also happy to provide relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if needed (we are an A+ rated sponsor).

A superb location

A relocation package, including costs towards accommodation, is available to the right candidate. So there is no barrier to taking up this great opportunity and making the most of life in or near the lively and expanding market town of Banbury, which offers easy access to Oxford, Birmingham, London, and the glorious Cotswolds.
