About this role
Veterinary Surgeon – Medivet Horncastle Join at our well-established Horncastle practice, working alongside experienced Partner Dave Kenyon and a supportive regional clinical network.
Unlike many roles in the wider Lincolnshire area where caseloads are fragmented or support is distant, this is a true first-opinion, continuity-focused practice where you’ll actually follow your cases and build lasting client relationships — not just pass them on.
We’re looking for a Vet with 3+ years’ experience, confident in routine consults and surgery, and comfortable with sole charge, but never left isolated thanks to strong regional and clinical backup. This is a role for someone who wants autonomy without being cut off, and support without micromanagement.
Why this stands out:
• Real clinical freedom in a well-run, stable practice • No OOH rota • Strong partner-led leadership • Genuine continuity of care with a loyal, established client base • Horncastle itself offers proper work–life balance — a relaxed market town with easy links to Lincoln, Skegness and Boston, without the pressure or cost of city-based roles.
The role:
• Full-time, 40 hours over 4 days (8:30am - 6:30pm) • 1:4 Saturdays (8:30am–12pm) • No out-of-hours • Flexible / part-time considered • Salary up to £75,000 DOE
If you’re looking for a step into a supportive, well-run practice where you can actually practise good veterinary medicine not just manage throughput this is it. Apply today to find out more.
