No OOH, real clinical freedom, and a loyal client base in a well-run market town practice? This Horncastle role with Medivet offers the autonomy and support vets actually want.
No out-of-hours rota. Saturday mornings only (1 in 4, 8:30am to 12pm).
Join Medivet's well-established Horncastle practice as a Veterinary Surgeon working alongside experienced Partner Dave Kenyon and a supportive regional clinical network. This is a true first-opinion, continuity-focused practice where you'll follow your cases and build lasting client relationships, not pass them on. You'll enjoy real clinical freedom with genuine autonomy, backed by strong partner-led leadership and genuine continuity of care with a loyal, established client base.
Based in Horncastle, a relaxed market town with easy links to Lincoln, Skegness and Boston, this role offers proper work-life balance without the pressure or cost of city-based practice. Full-time hours are 40 hours over 4 days (8:30am to 6:30pm), plus 1 in 4 Saturdays (8:30am to 12pm). Crucially, there is no out-of-hours rota requirement, and flexible or part-time arrangements are considered.
This is ideal for a vet with 3 or more years' experience who is confident in routine consults and surgery, comfortable with sole charge work, but values strong regional and clinical backup. You want autonomy without isolation, and support without micromanagement.
Medivet is a well-established veterinary practice group with a strong reputation for clinical excellence and team support. The Horncastle branch is a first-opinion practice with a loyal, established client base and access to Medivet's wider regional clinical network and 24-hour hospital facilities. The practice is partner-led and focused on continuity of care and supportive working relationships.
Medivet offers structured career development, internal CPD programmes, and access to Clinical Communities. The company values clinical excellence, client care, and employee wellbeing, with comprehensive health, learning and lifestyle support built into every role.
