Full Time, Part Time, Flexible

Salary up to £65,000 DOE 

Shreen Vets are excited to welcome a confident Veterinary Surgeon to our friendly and supportive team. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the pace and variety of first opinion practice, is comfortable with some sole charge and values being part of a genuinely collaborative environment.

As a small animal-only practice, we offer a well-balanced mix of consultations and surgery, including two dedicated operating days. Our caseload is largely routine, allowing you to build strong, lasting client relationships while maintaining regular surgical exposure and developing your clinical confidence.

The practice is well equipped with brand new DR X-ray, ultrasound, flexible endoscopy, capnography and a full in-house laboratory, giving you everything you need to work cases up thoroughly. While we refer when appropriate, we aim to manage as much as possible in-house to support continuity of care.

You’ll be supported by an experienced and hands-on RVN team who run their own clinics and play an active role in both consultations and surgery. Working alongside our Veterinary Surgeon and dedicated client care team, including a certificate holder in Physiotherapy. We’re also happy to support further development, including certificate study.

Our single-site practice is based in a recently refurbished converted building in the town centre, offering a modern and comfortable working environment with the added benefit of on-site parking.
