About the job Veterinary Surgeon – Essex
This is a standout opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon who wants top-end pay without top-end burnout. A 4-day working week, a fair 1 in 4 weekend rota, and a salary that genuinely reflects experience — all wrapped up in a well-run, sensible practice.

The Role
You’ll be joining a supportive first-opinion practice with a loyal client base and a manageable caseload. The focus here is on quality medicine, realistic consult times, and teamwork — not rushing from one case to the next.
This role suits a vet who wants to enjoy their clinical work and their time off.

First-opinion consultations and routine surgery
Managing medical cases with confidence and care
Working closely with experienced RVNs and support staff
Building strong, long-term client relationships
Maintaining excellent clinical and professional standards
What Were Looking For
RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon
Confident in first-opinion practice
Team-focused with a calm, professional approach
Someone who values balance as much as clinical quality
Why This Role Stands Out
Salary up to £70k — no vague up to games
4-day working week — more life, less burnout
Permanent, secure position
Supportive, well-organised practice culture
