The Role

We are looking for a full time or part time veterinary surgeon to join our Hyde team, with occasional work from our Walkden practice when required. 

As one of the top employers in the UK, we offer candidates an excellent package with the opportunity to enjoy a superb work/life balance. The working pattern is 4 days per week with a share of Saturday mornings, with time given back in lieu. We offer no OOH and a competitive salary.

Duties include providing high quality clinical care to all pets and outstanding client experience and help to create and maintain an efficient clinic. Mixture of surgery and consults each day, minimal sole charge.

Salary for the role is up to £57,000 depending on experience. 

About Us

At White Cross Vets, we have 21 clinics across the UK. All of our clinics have teams with different interests, with team members undergoing further training by certificates or having those that have achieved certificate status. Being part of something bigger, offers a fantastic level of support on a wider group level and allows us to grow and develop a higher quality first opinion pet care, whilst providing internal career progression opportunities.  

Our veterinary team enjoy all aspects of general veterinary practice and have a wealth of experience. Our Clinic Director has an internal medicine certificate and alongside our other two Senior Vets, loves to tackle all aspect of soft tissue surgery. One of our Senior Vets has a certificate in dentistry and is offering a referral service to the White Cross Group. In addition to this our fourth vet has a keen interest in exotic pets.
