Weekend ECC Vet Surgeon

About the Role

This Weekend Veterinary Surgeon position is based at Vets Now Milton Keynes and sits within emergency and critical care. The rota follows a rolling pattern with a share of bank holidays, so it is well suited to someone looking to pick up weekend hours while developing ECC experience.

The working pattern is set out clearly: Week 1 off, Week 2 Saturday 12:00 to 19:30 and Sunday 08:00 to 18:00, Week 3 Saturday 16:00 to 22:00 and Sunday 14:00 to 22:00, then Week 4 off. It is a role designed around structured out-of-hours working rather than a full week schedule.

You will be joining a clinic that emphasises support, mentoring and access to experienced ECC clinicians, with central teams also helping to take pressure off the day-to-day so you can focus on the cases in front of you.
