Salary up to £70,000 FTE DOE | Welcome Bonus up to £5,000 | Relocation Allowance up to £5,000
Based primarily across our three central sites in North Northamptonshire (Oundle, Thrapston, Corby)
The role
Are you a motivated Veterinary Surgeon looking to take the next step in your career? Sampson Park Group is seeking a Clinical Lead Veterinary Surgeon to join our progressive and supportive practice. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in shaping clinical standards, mentoring colleagues, and collaborating with an engaged and forward-thinking team. As Clinical Lead, you will be surgically competent and passionate about driving clinical growth while delivering outstanding patient care and client experiences. Leadership experience is desirable but not essential.
In this role, you will have the chance to work with a supportive team where resource sharing, collaboration, and innovative thinking are central to our ethos. You will also be part of a close-knit team that values empathy and care for both patients and clients. Our network of Clinical Lead Vets ensures you are never without support, and we offer plenty of opportunities for professional development, including monthly area networking meetings and access to group-wide training centres.
Rota
This full-time position offers flexibility in working hours, with a 40-hour week and a 1:3 Saturday rota. You will be responsible for ensuring excellent client care across our three sites while helping to lead the team in advancing clinical excellence.
About us
Our practice group consists of a dynamic team of 14.5 FTE Vets, with a mix of skills including an exotic specialist and certificate holders. We regularly hold clinical meetings to share knowledge and ideas, and we are committed to investing in new equipment to support best practice. There is a strong ethos of collaboration, so you’ll always feel part of a larger team, even while working across multiple locations.
The practices are located in North Northamptonshire, a region offering a perfect balance of lifestyle and affordability. You will be based in Corby, a growing town with expanding opportunities, Oundle, a beautiful Georgian market town, or Thrapston, a traditional market town with a welcoming community. This region boasts excellent transport links, cultural heritage, and a welcoming environment.
If you’re ready to take on a leadership role and advance your veterinary career with a supportive and innovative group, we would love to hear from you!
