Veterinary Surgeon – Fixed Term | 3 Days | No Weekends or OOH

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for a flexible opportunity for the next few months?

Heaton Chapel is looking for a Vet to join our friendly, supportive team on a 3-month fixed-term contract , with the potential to extend depending on availability and practice needs.

We’re looking for someone who can join us as soon as possible and can offer three full days per week , ideally 9am–7pm, although we’re happy to be flexible where required. One of your working days will need to be a Friday , with the remaining two days flexible.

We’re open to Vets with a range of clinical interests and skill sets, so this role can be shaped around what you enjoy for example consult-only, medical-focused or a surgical role. You’ll need to be comfortable working one day in sole charge , although this can be a consult-only day.

You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team in our recently refurbished Heaton Chapel practice, working alongside our Branch Partner Veterinary Surgeon, three RVNs, VCA and Client Care Assistant. With no weekends and no out-of-hours , this is a great opportunity for a Vet looking for some additional stability and flexibility.

Whether you’re returning to practice or simply want a change of pace, we’re happy to have an informal conversation about what could work for you. Please contact Serena - serena.khima@medivet.co.uk for further details.
