Find your future
Are you a passionate and skilled Veterinary Surgeon looking for an exciting opportunity? Look no further! At Delaware Veterinary Group, we are seeking a talented individual to join our team.
Flexibility in your working hours
We are open between the hours of 8:30am-6:30pm Monday to Friday and 8:30am to 1pm Saturday. We have available 32 hours over 4 days but are happy to talk to vets wanting fewer hours or a more flexible working pattern. Work/life balance is a priority and there are no on-call requirements with this role, inpatient care only.
Career progression and opportunities
Career progression is available for those who want to develop both clinical and non-clinical skills and one day manage a practice or to continue to grow as a clinician. CPD is encouraged and funded. The team are actively encouraged to develop individual clinical skills and interests. This has led to two Small Animal Medicine Certificates, as well as Physiotherapy and Behaviour, Emergency Critical Care, and Dentistry.

Join our team and enjoy Somerset life, whilst creating a job that works for you.
