Veterinary Surgeon - Independent Small Animal Practice - Maldon, Essex

J465104 Essex East of England £50K - £100K / Year

Set in a beautiful part of Essex near the Heybridge Basin, the practice has been proudly serving the local community for over a decade. It offers a warm, supportive working environment where collaboration and clinical freedom are genuinely encouraged. You'll be part of a highly capable team of Vets, Nurses, and support staff who are committed to delivering the best care to their patients - and enjoy a great social atmosphere outside of work too.

The practice is fully equipped with in-house lab facilities, digital x-ray, ultrasound, and multiparameter monitoring. A visiting surgery certificate holder supports with orthopaedics and more advanced procedures, allowing the team to handle a wide variety of cases.

The Role:

  • Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon - 3 to 4 days per week (9am-7pm)
  • 1 in 4 weekend rota, no out-of-hours or late nights
  • Varied caseload including soft tissue, emergency, and routine surgery
  • Clinical freedom to manage cases your way, with peer support when needed
  • Opportunity for progression into a Senior or Clinical Lead position

What We're Looking For:

  • Minimum 3-4 years' experience in UK small animal practice
  • Confident in consultations, general surgery, and case management
  • A strong communicator who thrives in a team environment
  • Interest in developing clinical or leadership skills further

What's on Offer:

  • Salary up to £100,000 (depending on experience, FTE)
  • No out-of-hours and minimal bank holiday work
  • Generous CPD allowance, with full support for certificates
  • 5.6 weeks' holiday, increasing to 6.6 weeks after two years
  • Private health insurance and contributory pension
  • Enhanced maternity/paternity pay and birthday leave
  • Funded professional memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
  • Staff discounts and wellbeing support programs

This is a great opportunity for an experienced vet seeking a role that combines clinical variety, work-life balance, and genuine professional autonomy - all within a supportive, independent environment.
