Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Find your future

Here at Crown Vets, we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to work at our Practice in Inverness. Our sites consist of our main branch in Crown itself where you will get to enjoy the hustle, bustle, and challenge of a busy day. At our Culloden and Canalside practices, you can enjoy sole charge consulting only. We have a fantastic, close-knit team who celebrate each other's successes and support one another.

We care about your work/life balance

We offer flexible working patterns that flex with you and your lifestyle. Whether you are looking to flex your rota hours to balance the school holidays, fix to navigate the school runs, or just looking to strike that balance between home and work life. We can offer flexibility that actually works for you.

This is a full-time role working 5 days per week including rotated Saturdays, 8 hours a day. The shifts will be between the hours of 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday to Thursday, 8:00am to 6:00pm on Friday, and 8:00am to 4:00pm on a Saturday. There are no out of hours. The rota and working schedule is carefully devised to ensure scheduled lunch breaks and the ability to leave work on time is maintained. We are happy to offer up to £5,000 relocation allowance if you are moving to the area.
