The posting
This ones refreshingly sensible. A full-time Veterinary Surgeon role thats genuinely 35 hours per week, a fixed weekly day off, fair Saturdays — and no out-of-hours at all. If you want structure, predictability, and a life outside the practice, keep reading.
Location: Nottinghamshire
Hours: 35 hours per week
Weekends: 1 in 4 Saturdays (9:00am – 5:00pm)
OOH: None
Day off: One regular weekday off — same day every week
The Role
You'll be joining a well-organised first-opinion practice with a realistic caseload and a supportive team. The working week is structured to keep things sustainable, with protected time off and no late-night or emergency rota creeping into your life.
This role suits a vet who values routine, balance, and quality clinical work — without burnout.
What You'll Be Doing
- First-opinion consultations and routine surgery
- Managing medical cases with confidence and care
- Working closely with RVNs and support staff
- Building trusted, long-term client relationships
- Maintaining excellent clinical and professional standards
What Were Looking For
- RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
- Comfortable in first-opinion practice
- Team-focused with a calm, professional approach
- Someone who values structure and consistency
Why This Role Stands Out
- 35-hour full-time week — rare and valuable
- Fixed weekly day off for proper routine
- No out-of-hours commitments
- Fair 1 in 4 Saturday rota
- Permanent, stable position in a well-run practice
