Kingston Vets | Yeovil, Somerset

Salary Up To £65,000 FTE DOE plus relocation allowance up to £3,000 and welcome bonus up to £5,000 

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

For over 100 years, Kingston Vets has been a trusted part of the local community, and as the practice continues to grow, they’re looking for a part time Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and progressive team.

Our varied caseload includes cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with a strong emphasis on case continuity and high clinical standards. You’ll enjoy a balanced mix of consultations and surgery, with routine work alongside orthopaedics, dental procedures, splenectomies and a wide range of more complex medical and surgical cases. This is a role where you can truly take ownership of your cases, follow them through and take pride in delivering excellent clinical outcomes.

Operating across two purpose-built practices in Sherborne and Yeovil, you’ll have access to excellent facilities at both sites. These include digital and dental radiography, ultrasound, laparoscopic equipment and separate cat and dog wards with isolation.
We’re also proud to hold Silver ISFM status, reflecting our commitment to delivering exceptional feline-friendly care.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and experienced team of six vets, six RVNs, two SVNs and a dedicated client care team. We also benefit from the support of a visiting orthopaedic specialist for more complex cases.

How You’ll Make a Difference 

As a Primary Care Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload. 
 
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
