We are excited to present a rare opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a unique Community Interest Company in South Yorkshire. Our client is seeking a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon with a strong interest and background in orthopaedics to become part of a fabulous team in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Located halfway between Sheffield and Leeds, Barnsley is a traditional market town that has recently undergone major regeneration work. It is surrounded by incredible countryside, with the Peak District National Park right on its doorstep, offering an exceptional quality of life.
In this role, you will lead an orthopaedic service, handling a mix of elective and non-elective cases, and providing expert care in a dynamic environment. This position is ideal for professionals eager to advance their skills in a supportive setting that emphasises community and accessibility. You will manage a diverse caseload, including cruciate repairs (TPLO/CCWO, with opportunities to upskill in TPLO if primarily experienced with TTA), patella luxations, and simple to complex fractures. You will perform surgeries and consultations, contributing to the high standards of care provided at the clinic.
This not-for-profit practice boasts top-notch facilities including an Onsite Laboratory, Ultrasound, Orthopaedics, X-ray, Dentistry, and much more. They are a B Corp-certified organisation, focusing on sustainable and community-oriented veterinary services, reinvesting profits back into the practice to enhance the services they provide.
The successful candidate will be a qualified Veterinary Surgeon, ideally with a post-graduate certificate in small animal surgery or extensive practical experience in orthopaedic surgery. Confidence in performing advanced surgical procedures, particularly in TPLO, CCWO, and fracture management, is essential.
