Mixed Veterinary Surgeon | Devon | £50,000+ DOE | Future Partnership Opportunity.
Moorland walks before work. Beaches at the weekend. A varied caseload, a supportive team and the freedom to build the veterinary career you actually want. Sound tempting? Welcome to Devon.
If you’re a mixed vet who loves the variety of the job but fancies a lifestyle that’s a little less ordinary, this could be the move that changes everything.
We’re working with a long-established, independent mixed practice on the edge of Dartmoor, where traditional values meet modern veterinary care. With beautiful countryside on the doorstep, beaches around 20 minutes away and a vibrant local town within walking distance, you can enjoy the best of rural living without feeling cut off from everything else.
The role: variety, with room to grow.
You’ll join an experienced team working across three sites, with an approximately 50/50 small and large animal split. Farm work is predominantly beef and sheep, with some farm pets and a little equine work to keep things interesting.
You’ll have the opportunity to develop your own interests, shape your role and build lasting relationships with clients who value having a trusted local vet. There’s some sole-charge small animal consulting, alongside ambulatory large animal work, so confidence and at least three years’ experience are essential; five or more would be ideal.
And if you have ambitions beyond clinical work? The practice hopes to develop this position into a partnership opportunity, potentially through a Clinical Director role. This is a chance to help shape the future, not simply fill a rota.
What’s on offer?
- Salary from £50,000, depending on experience, with flexibility for the right candidate.
- A 4.5-day working week, with a full day off in lieu for weekend work.
- 1:8 first-on-call rota, with a 1:8 second-on-call weekend rota.
- 20 days’ holiday plus eight bank holidays, with up to five additional days for long service.
- RCVS, BVA, VDS and one additional professional membership paid.
- At least £1,500 CPD allowance, with no cap on useful, agreed CPD.
- Pension and staff discounts.
You’ll have excellent nursing and animal care support, an in-house laboratory, digital radiography and small and large animal ultrasound. The practice also proudly provides its own out-of-hours service.
Then there’s Devon.
Think Dartmoor National Park, spectacular walking routes, climbing, kayaking, beaches, history and lively local communities. You’re close to a city, well connected by road, rail and air, and within easy reach of good schools. Coffee shops, bakeries and independent businesses are part of everyday life in the nearby town.
