Location: Shropshire, United Kingdom
Hours: Flexible full or part time (20–40 hours)
Salary: Up to £60,000 per annum FTE (depending on experience)

The Role:
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a well-established, locally owned small animal practice in Shropshire. The role can be tailored to suit you, with flexible hours available (20–40 per week), including school-hour patterns. The rota includes just 1 in 3 Saturdays, no Sundays, and no out of hours, ensuring a genuine work-life balance.

Consults are 15 minutes as standard, with longer slots for more complex cases. You'll be involved in both consultations and surgery, with time protected for breaks, admin and clinical discussions.

About the Practice:
This is a purpose-built, standalone practice at the heart of the local community. The practice offers a full range of orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries and has proudly achieved multiple awards, including:

• ISFM Silver Cat Friendly Clinic

• RAW Silver Rabbit Friendly Clinic

• Compassion Understood Bronze Award

• SPVS Wellbeing Award (2019)

Facilities include a dedicated operating theatre, three consult rooms, a large prep area, x-ray suite, isolation block, and separate cat and dog kennels. The practice is easily accessible, with on-site parking, public transport links and local amenities nearby.

The Team:
You'll be joining a close-knit, supportive team made up of 3 vets, 4 RVNs, 2 SVNs, a practice manager and 4 receptionists. With a strong ethos of community and patient care, the team are welcoming, collaborative, and committed to helping each other develop their skills.

The Area:
Shropshire offers the best of both worlds—peaceful countryside, historic market towns and charming villages, all while remaining well-connected. With excellent transport links, you can enjoy easy access to both city life and outdoor activities, making this an ideal base for professionals seeking balance.

Benefits include:

• Salary up to £60,000 per annum FTE (depending on experience)
