Ready to join a thriving independent practice with real flexibility? Sleaford Vets is offering an experienced vet the chance to shape your own schedule and develop further in a supportive, well-equipped two-site group.
Saturday rotas 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 with time off in lieu (weekend day work, not overnight on-call)
This is a full-time position (part-time considered for the right candidate) across Sleaford Vets' two busy practice locations in Sleaford, Lincolnshire and Collingham, Nottinghamshire. You'll be joining an independent, established group with a strong reputation in the community and genuine scope to develop your career, whether that's working towards a funded certificate or consolidating your expertise in general practice.
The role offers unusual flexibility: your shift pattern is negotiable and can be tailored to suit your needs. Consultations run across morning, mid-afternoon and early evening slots, with each vet receiving surgery slots daily and dedicated time for calls and professional reflection. Saturday rotas operate on a 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 basis, with time back in lieu the following week. This is a genuinely supportive environment where your work-life balance matters.
Sleaford Vets is the only independent small animal practice in Sleaford, with over 30 years of local history and a strong reputation for ethical, compassionate care. Operating two medium-sized practice sites in Sleaford and Collingham, the practice has invested in full modern facilities and supports a skilled veterinary team. The practice's mission is to provide value-driven veterinary care that treats pets as family members.
Both branches are well-equipped and the practice prides itself on being genuinely independent, allowing flexibility and a personal touch that larger corporate chains cannot offer.
