Lacey’s client, an established veterinary hospital in Hampshire, is seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to support its clinical team on a fixed-term basis.

This is a hands-on role offering genuine clinical variety, working with clients who value accessible veterinary treatment and clear, practical guidance. It would suit a vet who enjoys problem-solving, communication and case continuity rather than target-driven practice.

The Role

Working alongside experienced vets and nurses, the successful candidate will contribute across all areas of hospital work, including consultations, surgery and inpatient care. The environment is busy yet supportive, with strong encouragement for case discussion and collaborative decision-making.

Daily duties include:

Small animal consultations and treatment planning
Routine and urgent surgical procedures
Inpatient care and case monitoring
Diagnostic work-ups including imaging and dentistry
Clear communication of treatment options and outcomes
Supporting preventative healthcare and welfare education

The Hospital

The hospital is well resourced and designed to support high-quality first-opinion and urgent care work, including:

Dedicated dog and cat wards
Digital radiography and ultrasound
Endoscopy and dental equipment
Fully equipped operating theatres
Orthopaedic kit and piped anaesthetic gases

About the Candidate

The practice is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who:

Is MRCVS registered
Communicates clearly and empathetically
Takes a pragmatic, welfare-led approach
Works collaboratively within a team
Is organised and confident managing a varied caseload

Previous UK small animal experience is beneficial but not essential.

Package

£45,750 – £60,112 DOE (pro rata, incl. allowances)
Flexible working arrangements
5 days CPD + £1,000 allowance (pro rata)
Professional fees covered
Generous annual leave (pro rata)
Pension contribution up to 10%
Life assurance
Health and wellbeing support
Retail and lifestyle discounts
Family-friendly policies
Staff pet care assistance

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive clinical team where teamwork, practical veterinary medicine and community-focused care are genuinely valued.
