Night Veterinary Surgeon

£55,000 – £60,000 DOE | 7 Nights On / 14 Nights Off | Proper Recovery Built In

If you're going to work nights, the rota has to be worth it. This one is.
Seven focused nights, then fourteen completely off. Real downtime. Real balance. No pretending that a couple of days off fixes night fatigue.

Rota: 7 nights on / 14 nights off
Contract: Permanent

The Role

You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality emergency and inpatient care overnight. This is a structured night service — not chaos — with the facilities and support you need to manage cases properly.

You'll handle emergencies, stabilise critical patients, and ensure smooth handovers to the day team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing emergency and urgent out-of-hours cases

• Monitoring and caring for hospitalised inpatients

• Making confident, independent clinical decisions

• Ensuring clear and thorough handovers

• Maintaining high clinical and professional standards

What Were Looking For

• RCVS-registered Veterinary Surgeon

• Confident in emergency and critical care

• Calm, decisive, and capable working independently

• A vet who understands the rhythm of night work

Why This Role Works

• 7 on / 14 off — genuine recovery time

• Competitive salary for the rota pattern

• Permanent stability

• Focused clinical work without daily practice politics

• Ideal for vets who prefer concentrated blocks of work
