Discipline: Small Animal
Full Time, Part Time, Flexible
Salary up to £60,000 DOE
Salary up to £60,000 DOE, Relocation Allowance up to £5,000 and Welcome Bonus up to £5,000
For over 50 years, Spring Lodge has been a trusted part of the Witham community. We’re now looking for a confident Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys high standards, great teamwork and getting real satisfaction from their clinical work.
Clinical Variety with Real Depth
You’ll see a broad mix of patients including cats, dogs, small furries, exotics and wildlife. The caseload includes routine work alongside orthopaedics, TPLOs, fracture repairs, laparoscopy and ophthalmology, with hospital status allowing exposure to complex cases. Consult-only roles can also be discussed.
Facilities That Help You Do Your Best Work
You’ll have access to ultrasound, endoscopy, ECG, advanced imaging, a full IDEXX lab, digital and dental x-ray, and a wide range of laparoscopic and orthopaedic equipment, all within a practice committed to continuous improvement and sustainability.
A Nursing Team That Truly Supports You
Our highly skilled RVNs play an active role in patient care and diagnostics, helping create a smooth, collaborative working day where vets can focus on what matters most.
Space, Comfort and Modern Design
Our main site offers separate cat and dog areas, multiple consult rooms, three theatres, dedicated imaging and lab spaces, purpose-built wards, quiet office areas and welcoming staff facilities — plus free off-site parking and opportunities to work across multiple branches.
Work-Life Balance That Really Works
Vets work 41 hours over four days, with shifts from 8am to a 6.30pm last appointment. The rota includes 1 in 5 Saturday mornings and 1 in 8 emergency day cover for our own clients only. There’s no OOH, and weekend working is balanced with extra time off, allowing up to five consecutive rest days.
A Team You’ll Learn and Grow With
You’ll join a large, supportive team with certificate holders across surgery, medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology and advanced practice, alongside strong support for future certificates, wellbeing initiatives and regular in-house CPD.
Life in and Around Witham
Based in Powers Hall End, Spring Lodge offers a peaceful setting with excellent transport links, direct trains to London, easy access to the A12 and plenty of green space nearby, ideal for a balanced and well-connected lifestyle.
