We are excited to announce an opportunity for a passionate and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Riverside Vets in Edinburgh. Offering a competitive salary of up to £60k (depending on experience), along with a comprehensive benefits package, this full-time, permanent position offers 40 hours per week, spread over four days.
The role…
We are looking for a passionate vet to join our team, and if you have a bias towards medicine, that's a bonus! We pride ourselves on fostering a collaborative environment where our vets regularly discuss cases and work together on clinical and quality improvements. With top-level equipment and a strong nursing team to support you, we are committed to providing exceptional care.
Our advanced clinical skills network team works alongside us, and we have a strong focus on rehabilitation. You'll have the opportunity to manage your own patients in-house, with a dedicated overnight Registered Veterinary Nurse and inpatient vet on-site. While a certificate holder would be ideal, we're more than happy to support further certificate work to help you develop your skills.
Why us?
You'll be joining a practice with state-of-the-art equipment to assess, assist and treat client's pets where necessary, and ensure we are providing a consistently excellent standard of care to pets whenever they visit.
You will enjoy working with a forward-thinking clinical team of Vets, Nurses, Receptionists and Patient Care Assistants to continue to help the practice grow and drive clinical excellence.
As part of CVS, you'll be entitled to a wealth of benefits including CPD support and access to our knowledge hub so that you can stay up to date with new developments through continuous professional development.

The salary is up to £60,000 depending on experience, plus benefits.
