Veterinary Surgeon - Kent - Up to £70,000 DOE

Are you a proactive and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon looking for an exciting new opportunity in Kent?

Manor Vets in Chatham is looking for an outstanding Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and bonded team. With a gorgeous consulting room overlooking the river, separate dog and cat wards, and a fantastic clinical team around you, this is a great opportunity to take the next step in your career.

We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who is passionate about delivering excellent patient care and wants the freedom to bring their skills, personality and clinical interests to both our consulting rooms and theatres.

You’ll be supported every step of the way by our experienced management team, alongside our fantastic Vet, RVN and Support Teams. We’re a genuinely collaborative group, and you’ll always have someone to turn to for advice, case discussion or a second opinion.

We’re passionate about helping our vets thrive.

Whatever your area of expertise, we’re happy to support you and invest in the equipment you need to provide the very best standards of care. Across our independent group, we have a wealth of certificate-holding vets with interests in Soft Tissue Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Neurology, Dermatology, Exotics, Oncology and much more. You’ll have access to all of that knowledge and experience, with colleagues who are always happy to share their expertise and support your development.

Looking for clinical progression? We want to help you get there.

As a Vet-Led group, our founders are passionate about creating opportunities for the vets within our teams. We offer enhanced CPD packages and are more than happy to support certificate funding, helping you develop your skills and pursue the areas of veterinary medicine you’re most passionate about.

We also believe in supporting our vets to deliver the highest possible standards of care. That’s why we offer zero-percent finance plans across all our practices, giving you an extra tool to help support those more difficult conversations in the consultation room and make sure finances don’t have to be a barrier to treatment.

And when it comes to work-life balance, we believe your time outside of work matters too.

This is a full-time position with a standard 4-day working week, plus a small share of the 1:3 Saturday rota.

What’s in it for you?

• Salary up to £70,000, depending on experience

• £2,000 CPD allowance or certificate funding

• Enhanced CPD and clinical progression opportunities

• Support with certificate development and funding

• Perkbox subscription

• Visa sponsorship if required

• Dental & Health Cashback Scheme

• A supportive, Vet-Led independent group

• A fantastic team of experienced Vets, RVNs and support colleagues

• Access to a wide range of clinical expertise across the wider group

• A genuine focus on work-life balance
