Location: Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
Hours: Part time, 20 hours per week (1 in 4 weekends)
Salary: Up to £70,000 FTE (DOE)

The Role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part-time Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join a supportive and well-established team in Greater Manchester. This position offers a flexible 20-hour working week with a fair 1 in 4 weekend rota. Consult-only roles are welcomed. Development is strongly encouraged, with CPD and certificates fully supported.

About the Practice:
This is a locally owned small animal surgery with an excellent reputation for high-quality care and a loyal client base. The practice has fostered a strong ethos of teamwork, professional development and support, creating an environment where colleagues are encouraged to grow their skills and build long-term careers.

The Area:
Ideally located just 7 miles from Manchester city centre, this role offers the best of both worlds – access to the cultural and social opportunities of the city alongside easy reach of the Peak District for countryside escapes. Excellent transport links, including a nearby tram stop and close proximity to Manchester Airport, make commuting and weekend travel simple and convenient.

About You:
The ideal candidate will bring strong surgical and diagnostic skills to complement the existing team of three full-time vets. You'll enjoy working collaboratively in a busy, supportive environment, with the benefit of a skilled nursing team and a dedicated front-of-house team.

Benefits include:

• Salary up to £70,000 FTE (DOE)

• Generous CPD allowance including certificate funding

• Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS etc.)

• Private healthcare

• No OOH
