The role offers a varied and interesting caseload, providing plenty of opportunities to develop your clinical skills across a broad range of areas.

Dedicated clinical administration time is also available, allowing you to focus on more complex cases that require further investigation and a thorough clinical work-up.

Ideally, we're looking for someone to join us on full-time hours, covering 40 hours per week over 4 days. There's also 1:4 Saturdays (08:30- 12:30). There are no out of hours or on-call required in this position. We can also consider part time applicants. 

How You’ll Make a Difference

As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload. 

You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.

Hear from one of the team

"I started with Manor in 2021 when I qualified. I started working at Colebrook in 2022, as I fell in love with the team and the clients. The practice had a full referb a few years ago and looks professional and spacious. My favourite room is the vets room, as there's lots of space to focus on CPD and collaborate during our clinical clubs' discussions. The team are like a second family and always happy to welcome new ideas from everyone, management is always on hand to listen to our concerns and we have great communication. The work is rewarding and knowing you have a great team around you has encouraged me to start a certificate within anaesthesia." Katee - RVN
