  • Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
  • Stonehenge Vets - Durrington, Wiltshire
  • Salary up to £70,000 DOE

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Stonehenge & Sidbury Hill Vets, part of Inspiring Vet Care, are looking for a Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, experienced and patient-focused team.

We're a busy two-branch practice, with our sites just 10 minutes apart, offering plenty of variety while still giving you the time to build relationships with clients and provide continuity of care for your patients.

A Varied Caseload, With Time to Do Your Best Work

You'll see a predominantly cat and dog caseload, alongside the occasional rabbit or small furry, with a varied mix of first-opinion work to keep things interesting.

There's a lovely balance of consulting and surgery, including routine procedures, dentistry, imaging and a range of other first-opinion cases. We really value continuity of care, so you'll have the opportunity to get to know your patients and clients and follow cases through from start to finish.

We're also PSS accredited and committed to maintaining high standards across the practice. When cases need something more, we're happy to refer, with the support of our wider IVC network and Vets Now providing our out-of-hours service.

A Close-Knit Team That Puts Patients First

You'll be joining a supportive team of six Veterinary Surgeons, six RVNs and two SVNs, alongside our dedicated Client Care Team and Practice Manager.

There's a great mix of skills and experience within the team, with visiting specialists in Cardiology and Ophthalmology bringing additional expertise and opportunities to learn.

We're genuinely passionate about providing the best possible care for our patients, and we're fortunate to have some fantastic clients, with a high percentage of insured pets. This means we can investigate and treat cases thoroughly, always keeping the patient's best interests at heart.

Great Facilities and an Exciting Time to Join

Our Durrington practice is purpose-built and equipped with everything you need to support your day-to-day caseload, including digital X-ray, ultrasound and dental equipment.

We're also currently undergoing a refresh, making this an exciting time to join us as we continue to invest in our practice and create an even better environment for our team, clients and patients.

A Three-Day Week That Works

The role is 30 hours spread over 3 days, with some flexibility around the working pattern for the right person.

There’s a 1:4 Saturday rota, 9am–2pm, and importantly, no OOH commitments or on call.

We can also consider candidates looking for a FTC of up to 12 months.

How We’ll Support You

At inspiring vet care, we’re committed to supporting your ongoing development and wellbeing. When you join us, you’ll benefit from:

* Clear career pathways with progression opportunities across primary care, referral, leadership, and specialist roles

* Funded learning and development including CPD allowance and access to IVC academy training centres & role-relevant courses

* £1,250 annual Care Fund for every vet

* Access to mentors, regional clinical coaches, and peer networks

* Support to develop clinical interests and expand your capabilities

* A collaborative, values-led culture focused on care, community, and continuous improvement

* Enhanced family leave and pay across maternity, paternity, adoption and surrogacy

* BVA membership, VDS cover & RCVS fees

* Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes (eligibility applies)
