Veterinary Surgeon - Barnsley
Surgical focus | Supportive, close-knit team | Genuine clinical development
Feeling ready to enjoy your work again?
If you’re a Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys surgery but feels like you’re not getting the time, support, or case variety to really lean into it, this could be the change you’ve been looking for.
The Opportunity
We’re working with a purpose-built practice in Barnsley that has created something many clinics strive for but few achieve. A genuinely supportive environment where clinical standards matter, but so does how you feel at the end of the day.
This isn’t about filling a gap. The team is looking for someone who cares deeply about patient care, enjoys building relationships with clients, and wants to develop their surgical skills in a setting that encourages curiosity and growth.
You’ll be delivering a mix of preventive care, medical cases, and surgery, with the support of an experienced team who share knowledge openly. It’s the kind of place where you’re encouraged to follow cases through, discuss ideas, and shape how things are done.
Why This Role Is Different
A Team That Actually Supports You
- 3 Veterinary Surgeons and 4 experienced RVNs
- A collaborative culture where clinical interests are actively encouraged
- Strong support from both clinical and non-clinical team members
Interesting, Varied Caseload
- One vet with a passion for exotics
- Another developing advanced imaging skills
- A steady flow of diverse and engaging cases
A Practice That Invests in People
- Proven track record of supporting students into permanent roles
- Ongoing initiatives to close skill gaps across the team
- Continuous CPD across all levels, not just a tick-box exercise
A Genuine Community Feel

- A welcoming reception team known for their warmth
- Active social presence that reflects a positive, engaged culture
