Location: Thurmaston Leicestershire
Permanent Part-time Sole Charge Nights
Confidential Opportunity

The Vet Office is recruiting on behalf of a brand-new state-of-the-art 24-hour small animal hospital in Thurmaston Leicestershire which opened in April 2024.

This is a truly standout opportunity for a confident Night Veterinary Surgeon looking for exceptional worklife balance autonomy and the freedom to enjoy life outside of work.

What Could You Do With 25 Days Off After Just 3 Shifts

You will work:

  • Saturday Sunday & Monday nights

  • Then enjoy 25 consecutive days completely off

This rota is ideal for vets who:

  • Love travel (perfect for exploring Europe or beyond)

  • Want part-time work with meaningful income

  • Value long blocks of uninterrupted personal time

  • Prefer an alternative lifestyle-friendly schedule

The Hospital

    • Digital & dental X-ray

    • Endoscopy

    • Tonometer

    • Fully equipped ECC and surgical facilities

The Role

  • Night Veterinary Surgeon Sole Charge

  • Managing a varied emergency and critical care caseload

  • Supported by an experienced nursing team

  • Ideal for a confident all-rounder with strong medical and surgical skills

  • Excellent opportunity for autonomy challenge and professional growth

Candidate Requirements

  • RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon

  • Confident working sole charge overnight

  • Strong all-rounder in both medical and surgical cases

  • ECC experience desirable

  • Excellent communication and decision-making skills

  • Comfortable mentoring and working closely with nursing colleagues

Salary & Benefits

  • Up to 19687.50 per year (pro rata)

    • Based on an average of 10.5 hours per week

    • Equivalent to 75000 FTE

  • Private medical insurance from day one

  • Health cash plan (dental physio optical & 24/7 GP access)

  • Life assurance (3x salary)

  • Annual leave rolled into salary package

  • Additional paid personal day (Day for You)

  • CPD allowance: 1500 per year (pro rata)

  • Funded certificate opportunities

  • RCVS VDS & professional fees paid

  • Sabbatical options based on service

  • Cycle to work scheme & interest-free travel loan

  • Visa sponsorship and relocation support available

Why This Role Stands Out

  • One of the best worklife balance rotas in the UK

  • Brand-new hospital with modern equipment

  • High level of clinical autonomy

  • Perfect for vets wanting freedom without sacrificing clinical challenge
