Veterinary Surgeon

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly team at our Ashton clinic, delivering consistently exceptional clinical care.

This role offers a balanced 50/50 split between consulting and surgery. To support the surgical aspect of the position, we are looking for a vet who is confident managing more complex soft tissue surgical cases independently. You will also play a key role in mentoring and supporting our other vets, helping to develop their skills and confidence in this area.

Ashton Clinic has five dedicated consulting rooms, two advanced theatres, and a dental suite, our clinic is well-equipped to provide top-notch service. 

Ensuring comfort for our inpatients, we feature separate dog and cat wards, ensuring comfort throughout their stay. Our clinic thrives on a diverse caseload, encompassing both surgical and medical cases. As a testament to our commitment to excellence, an Orthopaedic surgeon is on-site, enriching our team's expertise.

At Animal Trust, you'll find a supportive and inclusive culture that values each individual's contribution. We operate without hierarchy, fostering an environment where every team member contributes to our shared commitment to clinical excellence.

About animal Trust

Our vision is clear: No pet should go untreated or face euthanasia when there is a viable treatment option. We firmly believe that pet ownership should be accessible to all, acknowledging that individuals earning the Real Living Wage may encounter challenges in affording veterinary care when their pet falls ill. In response, we aim to assist. Our free consultations and transparent pricing enable our vets and nurses to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pets receiving the treatment they need
