Ready to grow your career with a practice that genuinely supports work-life balance? Join Gilmoor Vets' collaborative team and develop your skills in exotics, feline, dermatology, soft tissue, or orthopaedic surgery with real mentorship and zero on-call pressure.
No on-call duties. OOH work limited to in-patient care only in rare circumstances where transfer to OOH providers is not possible.
Gilmoor Vets is recruiting a Veterinary Surgeon with advanced skills or leadership aspirations to join their three-site small animal and exotic practice across Durham, Sunderland, and Spennymoor. This is a full-time role (four 9-hour days plus one Saturday in four) with genuine flexibility available, including school-hour working and block scheduling. The practice has deliberately eliminated on-call duties from this position; OOH work is limited to in-patient care only and only in rare circumstances where transfer to their OOH providers isn't possible.
You'll work within a collaborative, inclusive culture that recognises each vet's unique strengths and gives you the freedom to thrive. The team actively mentors developing colleagues and involves all members in a shared-care approach to patient outcomes. Durham itself is a beautiful cathedral city with easy access to Newcastle's cultural buzz and outstanding outdoor spaces including the Lake District, Northumberland, and the Yorkshire Dales within 1-2 hours.
Gilmoor Vets operates three small animal and exotic practice sites in Durham, Sunderland, and Spennymoor, serving an increasing and varied caseload. The practice is known for its open, inclusive culture and collaborative approach to clinical care. As part of the VetPartners family, Gilmoor Vets has been recognised as an Employer of the Year for outstanding team culture and support.
The practice is positioned in the North East with direct access to the A1(M) motorway and East Coast mainline, plus international connections via Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley airports and ferry services to Europe.
