The posting
Are you a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon who believes that compassionate, high-quality animal care makes a real difference?
At Medivet Minster (Ramsgate), set in the charming heart of Kent, we are looking for someone just like you. Our practice is characterised by loyal clients, a supportive, friendly team and modern facilities where you can grow both clinically and personally. If you're searching for a role where excellence matters and you will truly feel that your work impacts both pets and their owners, this might be the one for you.
Working at Medivet Minster gives you more than just a job. You’ll enjoy the tranquillity of seaside living strolls along the coastline, fresh sea air, scenic countryside nearby all while being part of one of the UK’s best-known veterinary groups with full diagnostic equipment such as digital X-ray, ultrasound, laser therapy and strong nurse clinics. You will work alongside a capable team led by experienced vets and RVNs, who are passionate about delivering outstanding care in a well-run, well-equipped environment. The closeness of the community here means you’ll build lasting relationships with clients, and you will be respected, listened to, and seen as a valued professional driving forward best practice.
We provide a wide range of benefits to support your wellbeing and career development, including private medical insurance from day one, a health cash plan covering dental, optical and physio, and access to 24/7 private GP services. You’ll have generous holiday entitlement (five weeks’ leave plus bank holidays, rising with length of service), an additional “Day for You” to use as you wish, and full support for your continuing professional development—including an annual CPD allowance, paid study leave, funded certificates, plus coverage of your VDS, RCVS & BVA fees. There’s also the benefit of options such as an interest-free season ticket loan, cycle to work scheme, and flexibility around relocation or visa sponsorship if needed.
In this role you will deliver consultations and surgical procedures to the high standard our clients expect, prepare tailored treatment plans, mentor and support the rest of the clinical team, and contribute to ongoing improvements in clinical practice. You’ll partner with your colleagues to handle both routine and more complex medical and surgical cases, sharing your expertise and helping to shape the future of Medivet Minster.
If you are RCVS registered, have demonstrable experience in small animal surgery and medicine, are eager for clinical responsibility and leadership in a supportive environment, and want work that allows you to balance professional fulfilment with quality of life, we would love to talk to you. Join Medivet Minster and be part of a practice where your skills are valued, your wellbeing is considered, and your work truly matters.
