Veterinary Surgeon - Independent - Lancashire

Small Animal Vet Opportunity - Work for an Award-Winning Independent Practice!

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Small Animal Vet to join a highly regarded, multi-award-winning independent practice.

Known for its exceptional patient care, supportive team culture, and commitment to work-life balance, this is an opportunity not to be missed!

Why This Role Stands Out:

1. Flexible Working & Work-Life Balance - A 4-day working week as standard, with the option for part-time or flexible working patterns to suit individual needs.
2. Innovative OOH Rota - A 1:16 block of nights only (no daytime shifts) and a short Saturday morning consult shift, designed based on team feedback. Plus, a dedicated night nurse team to triage calls, allowing vets to be on-call from home. The result? More time off and a healthier work-life balance!
3. Career Development & CPD Support - Generous CPD allowance, fully funded certificates, and access to advanced practitioners in dermatology, surgery, and internal medicine. Regular Clinical Club meetings ensure continual learning in a collaborative environment.
4. State-of-the-Art Facilities & Expansion Plans - The practice is on track to achieve hospital status, with plans for additional consulting rooms, a new theatre, and a potential CT scanner.
5. Support for New Graduates - A structured VetGDP programme, dedicated mentors, and a WhatsApp support group ensure a smooth transition into practice.
6. A Fantastic Team Culture - A close-knit, down-to-earth, and friendly team, with a genuine focus on well-being, inclusivity, and mutual support.
7. Giving Back & Sustainability - A strong commitment to community engagement, fundraising, and environmental initiatives, including solar panels, tree planting, and sustainable uniforms.
8. Plenty of Time for Admin - The team respects admin and lunch breaks, and if things run over, TOIL (time off in lieu) can be taken later. Reception staff do a fantastic job of managing the diary, ensuring even the busiest days run as smoothly as possible.

The Package Includes:

1. Competitive salary - from £40K up to £70K DOE
2. 6.4 weeks holiday, including bank holidays
3. Your birthday off!
4. Generous CPD allowance - plus 5 days for external courses
5. Access to Vet Stream & Webinar Vet
6. Paid professional membership fees
7. Company sick pay, pension & staff discounts
8. Cycle-to-work scheme & electric car salary sacrifice scheme

Location Perks: Close to the Lake District & Trough of Bowland - perfect for outdoor lovers. Easy access to Manchester & Liverpool for city life. Near stunning coastlines & countryside for a great work-life balance.
