Veterinary Surgeon

Prospect Health is proud to be working on behalf of a highly respected veterinary organisation in search of a compassionate and skilled Veterinary Surgeon to join their modern and well-equipped hospital in Sunderland.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet looking to make a real impact by delivering high-quality clinical care to pets in need, while working within a team driven by purpose, collaboration, and compassion-not sales targets.

The Opportunity:
  • Work with a passionate and dedicated team in a hospital setting that sees a wide variety of clinical cases every day
  • Focus on achieving strong clinical outcomes rather than meeting commercial targets
  • Collaborate with a supportive group of veterinary professionals who share knowledge, skills, and case discussions
  • Flexible working options are available, including full-time, part-time, and hybrid models to support your work-life balance
  • Be an advocate for client engagement, resource efficiency, and the continued improvement of clinical services

  • The Hospital Environment:
  • Modern facilities including separate dog and cat wards, in-house radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, piped gases, and extensive orthopaedic equipment
  • A varied caseload with support from experienced colleagues with broad clinical interests
  • Flexible weekend rota with enhanced pay and compensatory time off during the week

Ideal Candidate:
  • RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
  • Comfortable managing a busy and varied caseload
  • Excellent communication skills with a collaborative and adaptable approach
  • A genuine desire to make a positive difference in the lives of pets and their owners
  • Passionate about clinical care and open to mentoring and leading by example

Package & Benefits:
  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • CPD Allowance: £1,000 + 1 week per year
  • Full RCVS fees covered
  • Access to internal CPD programmes and discounted rates for major veterinary events (BSAVA, LVS)
  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 days per year
  • Additional Wellbeing Day to use as needed
  • Enhanced pension contributions (starting at 5% up to 10%)
  • Life assurance (4x salary)
  • Employee Assistance Programme and 24/7 access to a dedicated Wellbeing Centre
  • Discounts on a wide range of retail, leisure, and travel products
  • Inclusive working environment with strong commitments to diversity and flexible working
