An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a well-established and community focused practice in Southampton, which has been supporting pets, assisting people in need, and training veterinary professionals since 1929! With a dedicated and experienced team, many of whom have been with the practice for over a decade, this is a fantastic place to grow and thrive in your career.

This busy and varied caseload offers everything from routine vaccinations to emergency care, ensuring no two days are the same. However, the well-structured shift pattern is designed to provide balance and prevent monotony. The practice takes a pragmatic yet client focused approach, prioritising clinical outcomes over targets, so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care.

Strong communication and leadership skills are essential, as you'll be working alongside a diverse team and leading by example. Your role will also involve championing the charity, promoting client contributions, and finding ways to improve efficiency, ensuring the best care for both pets and owners.
