This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established 24-hour Oxfordshire practice that is launching a new permanent night service. The role is suited to an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is confident managing emergency and critical care cases and is looking for a structured night rota with strong clinical and nursing support.
You'll be working within an independently led veterinary group where clinical standards, team stability and long-term retention are priorities. The practice is well equipped, organised, and led by experienced veterinary professionals who understand the demands of out-of-hours work.
Clinical development is supported, particularly for vets looking to consolidate or progress their ECC skillset.
You'll be part of a stable, experienced team, working alongside highly competent RVNs overnight, with systems in place to support safe decision-making and continuity of care.
 
About You:
  • Minimum 3 years' experience as a Veterinary Surgeon
  • Comfortable working independently overnight
  • Confident managing emergency and critical care presentations
  • Previous ECC or out-of-hours experience preferred, but support is available for vets transitioning into night work
The Role:
  • Salary up to £80,000 (DOE)
  • Permanent night Veterinary Surgeon position
  • 7 nights on / 14 nights off rota
  • Exposure to a varied and interesting ECC caseload
  • Supported by a strong, experienced night nursing team
  • Regular breaks built into the shift pattern
  • Fast-paced but well-organised working environment
If you're considering a move into nights, or already working OOH and looking for a more sustainable rota, this is a role worth considering.
