Job Description

We are recruiting Veterinary Surgeons across Ipswich and the surrounding region, working with a mix of independent practices, established veterinary groups, and veterinary hospitals.

Whether you are looking for a first-opinion GP role, a surgery-heavy caseload, or a clinically progressive hospital environment, we consistently recruit for permanent positions that suit different experience levels and long-term career plans.

Many practices offer flexible rota patterns, including part-time hours, four-day working weeks, and reduced weekend commitments. A large proportion of roles are available with no out-of-hours, or with shared and well-supported OOH rotas where required.

Typical responsibilities include consultations, diagnostics, routine soft-tissue surgery, dentistry, imaging interpretation, case management, clinical record-keeping, and client communication. Some roles also offer structured mentorship, certificate funding, or progression into Senior or Lead Vet positions.


Why work with us?

We focus on accurate job matching, transparency, and a straightforward recruitment process. You will only be introduced to permanent Vet Surgeon roles that align with your salary expectations, rota preferences, and clinical interests.

Support includes:

  • Full role details before interview

  • Honest salary and benefits information

  • Interview preparation and offer negotiation

  • Long-term career and progression guidance


Requirements

  • RCVS registration

  • Right to work in the UK

  • Recent small-animal clinical experience (typically 2+ years unless stated otherwise)

  • Competent in routine consultations and surgery

  • Good communication and teamwork skills
