About the Role

Global Veterinary Careers is proud to be working exclusively with an independently run small animal practice based in North Lincolnshire. This modern, well-equipped clinic has established an excellent local reputation and is now seeking an experienced Head Veterinary Surgeon to lead their dedicated team through the next exciting phase of growth. About the Practice & Location: The practice is purpose-built, air-conditioned, and equipped with excellent facilities to support a high standard of care. Located within easy reach of local transport links, shops, and green spaces, it offers the perfect balance between professional opportunity and lifestyle. The surrounding area combines the convenience of a thriving town with access to beautiful countryside and coastal escapes within a short drive. As an independent practice, decisions are made locally, ensuring that every member of the team has a voice and the freedom to shape how the clinic operates. About the Role & Team: This is a flexible position, open to both full and part-time applicants.

You’ll work closely with the management team to maintain high clinical standards, mentor colleagues, and help guide the continued success of the practice. You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive, and close-knit team consisting of veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses, a student nurse, a veterinary care assistant, and experienced client care staff. The team pride themselves on providing exceptional care and a welcoming environment for both clients and colleagues. About You: The ideal candidate will be confident in routine surgical and medical cases and comfortable taking sole charge when required.
