Seven nights of clinical impact, followed by twenty-one nights that are entirely yours - how would you spend them?
Join us at Medivet Thurmaston 24-Hour Hospital, our fully equipped site that opened in April 2024. You’ll be working with the very best: a sparkling new ultrasound machine, orthopaedic kit, digital and dental X-ray suites, endoscopy, a tonometer, and all the tools you’d expect in a modern ECC hospital.
We’re looking for a Night Veterinary Surgeon to work a 7-on / 21-off rota - a brilliant pattern for someone seeking predictable part-time hours, ample time between blocks, or a job that supports travel and adventure. Spend three weeks exploring new countries, taking extended trips, or focusing on personal goals… all while maintaining a stable, rewarding ECC career.
This is a sole-charge night role, giving you exposure to a wide range of emergency and critical care cases. You’ll need strong all-round surgical and medical skills, and in return you’ll gain autonomy, clinical satisfaction, and the chance to make a meaningful impact when it matters most.
Prorated salary will be based of 24.5 hours on average per week – i.e. up to £45,937.50 per year (£75,000 FTE)
Your career means more than a rota and a job title, that’s why we offer:
Health and wellbeing
• Private Medical Insurance and Health Cash Plan from day one
• 24/7 counselling and wellbeing support
• Life Assurance 3 x salary
Annual leave
• 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with length of service
• Extra ‘Day for You’, a paid day off just for you
Learning and development
• £1,500 CPD allowance plus 3 days’ paid leave per year
• Access to Clinical Communities, internal CPD and our 24-hour hospitals
• Funded certificates and internal career pathways
Additional support
• RCVS, VDS and BVA fees paid
• Relocation support and Visa sponsorship available
• Sabbatical options based on length of service
Lifestyle
• Cycle to Work
• Season Ticket loans
• Discounts on Medivet products and services
About you
You’re a qualified MRCVS with a passion for clinical excellence and client care. You’re a team player who wants to make a real difference in a practice that values and supports you and has strong ECC experience.

Typically, in this role, you’ll:
• Deliver exceptional clinical care to patients in consults and surgery to the highest standards of regulatory, practice and operational compliance
• Develop tailored treatment plans with clients
• Work collaboratively within a supportive team
• Share your skills and support our Medivet communities’ development
