🐈⬛We are hiring- Veterinary Surgeon, Needham Market, Suffolk🐩
🐾 38h, 4 days week for full time or part time options on offer
🐾40-65k DOE
🐾Independent, locally owned, small animal practice
We are new and expanding thanks to the lovely people of Stowmarket, Needham Market and surrounds who have given us the privilege to care for their pets. Therefore, we have a vacancy for a new vet at Needham Market Veterinary Centre.
A little about us - we are proudly independent - being owned by Jenny, Adam and Carly and been open 18 months. We are currently 2 vets in the building most days with Nat and Adam being the Needham "full-timers" and then the team from our sister practice (Bury St Edmunds Veterinary Centre) covering any days off and holiday etc. We are therefore a small and perfectly formed, yet very experienced team. And we will 100% be staying independent too! We are all in our 30's and not going anywhere!
We have all the kit you could possibly want and a really interesting and diverse caseload. Dental x-rays come as standard on all dental packages, echo's are performed in house, we can do everything from the wellness to the TPLO's and the GDV's!
The nursing team is also super experienced, and the front of house is the best in the business. We all genuinely get on, have socials and like each other. Perfect, we aren't, and we accept our flaws and are constantly bettering ourselves, but we live by the motto of "do great work, with great people, for great people" and that has seemed to serve us well across both of our 2 sites since we opened Bury in 2019.
As this is a Needham vacancy (oddly, if you are interested in Bury or like the ECC / OOH stuff- we have an exceedingly rare advert out there for an experienced vet - so please check that out), there is no weekday OOH rota as the BSEVC team cover that for us. But all we ask is willingness to go on the weekend rota (1 in 6 or 7 ish weekends, either days or night on call depending on your preference) at BSEVC. Other than that, this is a mon-friday post, and we can accommodate full or part timers. We just ask that you have at least 2 years' experience, other than that, the main thing is that you are a good fit with the team.
In exchange we have all of the usual kit. And we are not a "branch" practice. We are a fully functioning, fully kitted out, all singing, all dancing practice. Give enhanced maternity and sick pay, the best salary bracket we can possibly afford, BUPA cashplan healthcare, unlimited CPD, funded certificates, and all the usual stuff. Just all wrapped up in a bow of employers who are working alongside you, genuinely care, and a seriously fabulous team.
If you want to know more, please email us in complete confidentiality at directors@nmvets.co.uk to either apply or ask questions!

Founded on principle values of care, compassion and community. Proudly independent vets!
A success story for you all this Friday.
Gentle giant, Hugo came to visit us for his annual health check and vaccination a couple of months ago. All seemed well at home, and his carers had no major concerns. However, all did not feel well when vet, Adam palpated Hugo's abdomen during his physical examination.
Unfortunately, there was something in there that shouldn't have been. Something that set alarm bells ringing. Hugo was admitted the following day for abdominal and thoracic ultrasound and X-rays to investigate. A melon sized tumour was found on his spleen, but reassuringly, there was no evidence of spread elsewhere.
An urgent surgery at our practice in Needham Market was then scheduled to remove the tumour before it had chance to rupture and bleed. Under RVN Keira's watchful eye on the anaesthetic, Hugo's spleen and associated mass were carefully removed. The lab confirmed that the mass was unlikely to spread elsewhere. A success!
After visiting our nurses several times for a wound healing complication, Hugo has made a complete recovery and is back to living a full life. He has since returned for his booster vaccination.
Hugo's story had a good outcome thanks to his family's proactive approach to his health. So many problems are best addressed as early as possible - a lesson we can apply to both ourselves, and our pets.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Congratulations on an incredible weight loss journey, Rexy!
Rexy and her family have been visiting our registered veterinary nurse, Ayla for regular weight loss clinics. After a whole year of dedication from Rexy's carers, and Ayla's careful guidance and support, she has lost a life changing amount of weight.
Having a professional on board to advise, encourage and check in with on a regular basis can make all the difference when it comes to achieving weight loss goals. Our team of compassionate registered veterinary nurses are standing by to help, if you and your pet need it.
Have a wonderful weekend. The team at Bury will be available 24 hours as always, including Needham's own Adam and Ayla for any overnight emergencies.
