Veterinary Surgeon 
East Devon
Independent Practice • No Out-of-Hours • Supportive Team • High Standards of Care
This practice do things differently. As a genuinely independent, vet-owned practice on Devon’s stunning Jurassic Coast, they believe in honesty, kindness, and putting patients, clients, and colleagues first. With two modern sites, they’re RCVS Small Animal General Practice accredited and proud of their reputation for integrity, compassion, and high clinical standards.
The close-knit team includes experienced vets (one holding a CertAVP), skilled RVNs, and supportive reception and nursing staff. They work collaboratively, value every voice, and focus on good medicine — with no corporate targets and no unnecessary upselling, just veterinary care as it should be.
They are now looking for a seventh vet to join the growing team. This role is flexible: full-time, part-time, or anything in between, from one to four days per week. There are no out-of-hours commitments, and you’ll have the time, tools, and teamwork needed to do your best work, including 20-minute consultations as standard. Salary ranges from £45,000 to £65,000 depending on experience and hours, and comes with generous support for your development: a £1,500 CPD budget plus paid CPD days, RCVS and VDS fees covered, along with one additional professional subscription of your choice.
Life in East Devon offers something for everyone — from beach walks and kayaking to hiking, climbing, and easy access to the city. At work, you’ll find a genuinely friendly environment where laughter is part of the day, wellbeing is taken seriously, and you’ll be supported to grow, contribute, and belong.
Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a newer graduate with enthusiasm and heart, they would love to welcome you. Start date is flexible, ideally autumn–winter 2025.
