At Vets Now, we believe that when your passion is to make a difference, you deserve a team that shares this purpose.

At our Swansea clinic, we are looking for a Head/Lead Veterinary Surgeon to join our team on a 6-Month fixed-term contract.

In this role, you will lead from the front - inspiring clinical excellence and guiding a high-performing and collaborative team.

Lead with clinical excellence

As Senior Vet, you'll lead by example by blending clinical expertise with mentorship and collaboration. You'll set the tone for quality care, lead in emergency situations, and support the development of your fellow clinicians. You'll have responsibility for:

• Driving and upholding clinical standards across the clinic
• Identifying clinical development opportunities and shaping team progression
• Championing innovation and service improvement within the clinic

This is more than a job. This is a vital leadership role with real impact where your guidance helps shape the future of ECC, while making a difference to patients, clients, and colleagues every day.

Work-life balance that works for you

This full-time role averages 40 hours per week (average of 3 shifts per week), including:

• Weekday nights
• 1:2 weekends (mix of nights and days)
• Shared bank holidays
• Protected time for leadership duties and meetings

With this role we can possibly also consider part-time arrangements, depending on clinic requirements.

We look after you so you can look after them

With this role you will also have access to parts of our benefits package, which includes, but not limited to:

• 7 weeks pro rata annual leave
• Your birthday as a paid day off
• RCVS fees, VECCS membership & VDS cover
• Vets Now For You - reward gateway giving discounts and cashback with 100's of retailers

Collaborative spirit - support that sets you up for success

You're never alone at Vets Now. On-shift you'll often work alongside a registered Vet Nurse, an Animal Care Assistant and a Receptionist. You can also contact any of our clinics across the UK, if needing to discuss a particular case or share ideas.

You'll also be supported by our Support Office in Dunfermline, where our teams work behind the scenes to help you thrive. Our Call Handlers and Customer Care Advisors ensure you can focus on what matters most - your patients.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, including those from diverse and minority groups.
