Job Description
We’re recruiting Veterinary Surgeons across Edinburgh and the surrounding region, partnering with independent practices, established groups, and veterinary hospitals. Whether you’re seeking a first-opinion GP role, a surgically focused caseload, or a progressive hospital environment, we maintain a consistent pipeline of permanent opportunities to match varied clinical and career ambitions.

Typical duties include consultations, diagnostics, routine soft-tissue surgery, dental procedures, imaging interpretation, case management, clinical record-keeping, and client communication. Some positions also offer support for certificate study, structured mentorship, or progression into Senior or Lead Vet roles.
Our clients span independent clinics, boutique small groups, and national veterinary employers — giving you options on culture, caseload, clinical standards, and work–life balance.

RCVS registration, right-to-work status, recent small-animal practice experience.
