🐾 Purr-fect Opportunity for Feline-Focused Vets! 🐾 Feline Only Vet Surgeon | Independent Practice

£40k - £60k per annum
Full-time

Are you passionate about feline medicine and looking to immerse yourself in a supportive, expert-led environment? This busy, two-site independent practice in Oxford is looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join their thriving team. Specializing in both first-opinion and referral care for cats, this clinic offers a unique chance to work alongside experts in the field while enjoying a workflow designed to respect your work-life balance. ✨

About the Practice & Location

Located in the historic and vibrant Oxford area , this independent practice operates across two modern sites. They pride themselves on providing top-tier care exclusively to feline patients. By maintaining a “cats-only” environment, they offer a calm atmosphere for patients and a highly specialized clinical setting for staff.

About the Role and Team ‍⚕️‍⚕️

Collaboration is at the heart of this clinic. The first-opinion and referral teams work closely together, meaning you’ll benefit from internal case discussions, ward rounds, and bespoke CPD opportunities.

  • The Schedule: 30–40 hours per week (10-hour shifts) with a paid lunch break .

  • Balance: 20-minute consultations are standard, with dedicated gaps for admin and lab work.

  • The Rota: 1 in 4 weekends (10 hours total consulting over 2 days).

  • Peace of Mind: No OOH on-call! Late checks for stable inpatients are shared with the RVN team, usually involving only telephone backup.

About You

The ideal candidate is a team player who loves all things feline! To be considered, you should have:

  • At least 2–3 years of UK experience and RCVS registration.

  • Confidence in routine surgeries and sole charge environments.

  • Competence in dental procedures (advanced skills like X-ray interpretation can be taught).

  • A friendly, supportive mentality and a valid driving license with access to a car.

  • Advanced soft tissue surgery skills are a bonus, but not essential!

Benefits

  • Salary: £40,000 – £60,000+ (commensurate with experience/hours).

  • Well-being: Respected finish times and a focus on sensible workflows. ⚖️

  • Growth: Immersion in feline-specific CPD and referral-level insights.

  • Support: Visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
