Mixed Veterinary Surgeon

About the Role

Tenbury Veterinary Services is offering a genuinely mixed Veterinary Surgeon role with a broad caseload across farm, equine and companion animal work. You will have the autonomy to manage your own cases, with experienced colleagues available for support, case discussion and clinical advice when needed.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and values continuity of care. The practice is open to shaping aspects of the position around the right candidate, including clinical interests and areas for development, and there is clear potential to help grow the small animal side of the service.

• Manage equine cases including routine healthcare, vaccinations, pre-purchase examinations, lameness workups and diagnostic investigations.
• Contribute to the growing small animal caseload alongside the wider mixed practice work.
• Work independently while drawing on support from experienced colleagues for backup and discussion.
• Take part in regular case discussions and monthly 1-2-1s.

Requirements

• An experienced mixed practitioner is preferred.
• Enthusiasm, motivation and a good team fit are also valued.
• Confidence working independently when required.
• Ability to build trusted client relationships.
• Applicants early in their career are welcome, with support available for development within the role.

Benefits

• Salary of £36,000 to £70,000, depending on experience and whether accommodation is required.
• Accommodation available if relocating.
• Company vehicle for work and personal use.
• CPD supported and funded.
• 5.6 weeks holiday, including bank holidays.
• RCVS and VDS fees paid.
