About the Role

We are representing a growing, independent mobile small animal veterinary practice based in South Norfolk that is seeking an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly and supportive team.

This role offers the opportunity to practise high-quality first-opinion veterinary medicine with genuine autonomy, longer appointment times, and a strong focus on building meaningful client relationships. The position combines the flexibility and personal nature of mobile consultations with the clinical support of a fully equipped static base.

About the Practice

The caseload is predominantly dogs and cats, with occasional chickens and rabbits. There is no large animal or equine work. The practice also undertakes in-home euthanasia, delivering this service with exceptional care and sensitivity.

The team operates within a just culture, prioritising psychological safety, shared learning, and professional development. Plans are in place to transition to an Employee Ownership Trust within the next 12–18 months, offering long-term team members a meaningful stake in the future of the practice.
