Veterinary Surgeon – Small Animal

About the Role

White Cross Vets in Redcar is seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join a thriving small animal practice with a genuinely interesting caseload. You’ll enjoy a healthy mix of surgery and consultations throughout each day, working in a location that blends vibrant coastal living with easy access to the North Yorkshire Moors. This is a standard 40-hour week spread over 4 days, with Saturday rota inclusion on a 1:5 basis (with TOIL in lieu)—crucially, there are no out-of-hours requirements, giving you genuine evenings and nights back.

The team comprises 5 Veterinary Surgeons, led by Clinical Director Louisa, who holds certificates in Diagnostic Imaging and Internal Medicine. Another colleague holds a Surgical Certificate, so there’s genuine opportunity to develop your skills within a supportive environment. The practice actively encourages learning and knowledge-sharing; Louisa is well-known in the veterinary community for her educational content and hands-on mentorship approach.

Beyond clinical work, the team prioritize wellbeing with regular social events and dedicated wellbeing afternoons—think games days, film screenings with popcorn, and arts and crafts. You’ll also have flexibility in choosing between different shifts and case types, whether that’s your preference. This is a practice that’s backed its commitment with SPVS Wellbeing Award wins (2017, 2018) and 6 consecutive appearances in the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies to Work For.
