Experienced Veterinary Surgeon – Sandiway, Cheshire


Hollybank Veterinary Centre would like to welcome an experienced veterinary surgeon to their growing team.

Hollybank is an RCVS-accredited small animal hospital, nurse training practice and gold cat friendly clinic, striving to provide the best standards of first opinion care. Facilities include two operating theatres, a dental suite with dental radiography, an in-house lab with IDEXX blood and urinalysis machines, and a range of other diagnostic equipment including an EPOC machine, ultrasound, DR X-rays, video endoscopy and laparoscopy.

A purpose-built branch practice in Winnington was opened three years ago, with the same high standards and overnight in-patient care handled at the hospital.

The team is supported by eight RVNs and two SVNs (led by a DipAVN), as well as a BVRA-accredited front-of-house team.

Ideally, the candidate will have around two years experience, truly care for their patients, be a good team player, and be motivated to provide a high quality first opinion service to patients and clients. Hollybank will provide a varied caseload, consistent support, and the opportunity to improve and grow as a vet.

Veterinary surgeons enjoy a four-day week, and receive two days in lieu for working a weekend. We use a dedicated out of hours provider for on-call and our inpatients are cared for by our RVN team. The vets share responsibility for the inpatients (1:8 nights).

We value all our team and strive to provide both a good work life balance and real job satisfaction.

  • Competitive salary
  • 4 day week (2 days off in lieu for working weekends – Saturday and Sunday 8am-5pm)
  • 7 weeks' holiday
  • Generous CPD
  • Paid memberships
  • Staff pet discounts


To apply, please submit your CV and cover letter to Helen Hewitt(helen@hollybankvets.co.uk)

  • Practices urged to audit neutering data
    Blog SpotRCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

    It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

    The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

    Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

    Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.
