Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
Bellevue Veterinary Clinic - Frome, Somerset

Salary up to £60,000 DOE FTE, welcome bonus up to £5,000 and relocation allowance 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.

Bellevue Vets, part of ivc, are looking for a part-time Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our welcoming and supportive team in the charming market town of Frome.

We’re a Silver ISFM-accredited practice, based in a beautifully converted barn where character meets modern veterinary medicine. It’s a relaxed, friendly environment where both our clients and our team feel at home.

 

A Varied Caseload & Time to Do Things Properly

 

You’ll see a lovely mix of cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with the occasional exotic or wildlife patient adding a little extra variety to your day.

This is a great role for a vet who enjoys a balance of consulting and surgery and values having the time to work cases up properly. We really value continuity of care and building lasting relationships with our clients, so you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your patients and follow their journeys with us.

You’ll also have an experienced team around you, so there’s always someone to bounce ideas off or lend a hand when needed.

 

Great Facilities & Support

 

We’re well equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, VetAir dental equipment and multiparameter monitoring, alongside excellent referral pathways when your patients need that extra level of care.

 

A Team That Wants You to Thrive

 

You’ll be joining a close-knit team of experienced Veterinary Surgeons, RVNs and dedicated Client Care professionals, led by a supportive Practice Director.

We’re passionate about helping our vets develop and will actively support your CPD, further study and certificate progression, allowing you to build your career around the areas you enjoy most.

 

A Part-Time Role That Really Works

 

This is a 20-hour per week role across two days. We’d ideally love someone who can work Thursdays, but we can be flexible around the second weekday.

There is a 1:4 Saturday morning rota, 9am–1pm, with no out-of-hours or on-call requirements. So, if you’re looking for a part-time role that genuinely gives you a great balance between work and life outside the practice, this could be a great fit.
