Veterinary Surgeon - Clinical Freedom | No OOH

Veterinary Surgeon – Medivet Horncastle Join at our well-established Horncastle practice, working alongside experienced Partner Dave Kenyon and a supportive regional clinical network. Unlike many roles in the wider Lincolnshire area where caseloads are fragmented or support is distant, this is a true first-opinion, continuity-focused practice where you’ll actually follow your cases and build lasting client relationships — not just pass them on. We’re looking for a Vet with 3+ years’ experience, confident in routine consults and surgery, and comfortable with sole charge, but never left isolated thanks to strong regional and clinical backup. This is a role for someone who wants autonomy without being cut off, and support without micromanagement. Why this stands out:

• Real clinical freedom in a well-run, stable practice
• No OOH rota
• Strong partner-led leadership
• Genuine continuity of care with a loyal, established client base

Horncastle itself offers proper work–life balance — a relaxed market town with easy links to Lincoln, Skegness and Boston, without the pressure or cost of city-based roles. The role:

• Full-time, 40 hours over 4 days (8:30am - 6:30pm)
• 1:4 Saturdays (8:30am–12pm)
• No out-of-hours
• Flexible / part-time considered
• Salary up to £75,000 DOE
