Job Description

Introduction
Our Client is a non-profit, community-focused veterinary practice in Failsworth seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join its friendly and supportive team.

Role Description
The successful Veterinary Surgeon will manage a varied first opinion caseload spanning medicine, surgery and orthopaedics. The role provides excellent opportunities to develop clinical skills, work up cases and gain experience alongside a growing team of certificate holders.

Ongoing development is strongly supported through funded CPD and certificate opportunities, making this particularly suited to a clinician looking to build their experience and develop further areas of interest.

The caseload spans medical, surgical and orthopaedic cases, providing excellent clinical variety and development opportunities.

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be an MRCVS Veterinary Surgeon with approximately 2–3 years of experience who is confident managing a varied first opinion caseload. They should enjoy a busy clinical environment and be keen to continue developing their medical and surgical capabilities.

Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential, alongside a commitment to delivering excellent patient care and contributing positively to a collaborative clinical environment.
