Purovets are on the lookout for a passionate and driven Ambulatory Equine Veterinary Surgeon to join a well-established practice in Nottinghamshire. This role offers hands-on veterinary care for a diverse range of horses and ponies, covering both routine and emergency healthcare. You will be able to embrace clinical freedom and enjoy a wide and varied caseload of first opinion ambulatory work, mostly catering to leisure and amateur competitors, with a high percentage of insured animals.

Our client has been proudly serving clients in and around northern Nottinghamshire for over 50 years. The main practice boasts a team of 12 vets and 9 RVNs/SVNs with a wealth of experience ranging from new graduates to seasoned professionals. The Equine department, situated in a separate building, consists of 2 full-time and 2 part-time vets. They are not just a team; they are a close-knit family that supports each other, values client care, personal growth and works to achieve that ever-elusive work-life balance.

As part of the team, you will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and modern battery-powered kit, including DR radiography, endoscope, gastroscope, motorized dentistry, and ultrasound scanners. They will encourage you to pursue your areas of clinical interest and expertise. Your key responsibilities will include vaccinations, dentistry, lameness workups (including ridden assessments, nerve blocks, radiography, and scanning), breeding, sedation, ultrasonography, 5-stage vettings, castrations, treatment plans/visits and working up cases.

A full-time role entails working 40 hours per week over 4.5 days, with weekday shifts from 8:30am to 5pm and a set half-day. While there is an out-of-hours rota (currently 1 in 6), they are open to supporting part-time applications and different shift patterns. Please note that the out-of-hours rota is non-negotiable.
