Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal in Frome

Bellevue Veterinary Clinic in Frome, Somerset is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and supportive team. The practice offers a calm, welcoming environment and a varied small animal caseload including cats, dogs, rabbits, small furries, plus the occasional exotic and wildlife case brought in by the local community.

This role offers a great balance of consults and surgery, with plenty of opportunity to work cases up thoroughly, build strong client relationships and enjoy clinical freedom while still having support around you when needed. The practice is well equipped with digital X-ray, ultrasound, VetAir dental equipment and multiparameter monitoring, alongside excellent referral pathways.

You’ll be joining a close-knit team of experienced vets, RVNs and client care professionals, supported by an engaged Practice Director, with further development and certificate support actively encouraged.

As a Primary Care Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload. You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.

Part-time 20 hours per week across 2 days. We ideally need someone who can work on a Thursday but can be flexible on the other day during the week. The weekend commitment is 1:4 Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and there are no out-of-hours or on-call requirements, allowing you to enjoy a genuine balance between work and life outside the clinic.
