Location: Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom

Hours: Full or part time

Salary: Up to £55,000 depending on experience

The Role

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a busy small animal hospital in the Nottinghamshire area. This is a permanent role, ideally full time, although part time hours may be considered. A medical bias would be advantageous and support for certificate study is available. Importantly, there are no night shifts, as a dedicated OOH team is in place.

About the Practice

This Tier 3 hospital has an excellent reputation locally and offers a hybrid between first opinion and referral-level services. Facilities include advanced diagnostics such as high-end ultrasound, digital and dental radiography, endoscopy, laparoscopy, electrocautery, tonometry, and a fully equipped in-house laboratory.

The hospital is well staffed with an experienced team of vets and nurses, many of whom hold certificates across a variety of disciplines including surgery, medicine, ophthalmology, anaesthesia, and dermatology. Expansion plans are also underway to install a CT scanner by early 2026.

The Area

Located within easy reach of both Nottingham and Derby, the hospital is ideally placed for excellent transport links. With the M1 close by, a local train station, and East Midlands Airport nearby, this position would suit both local candidates and those considering relocation.
