Veterinary Surgeon – Sports Medicine & Lameness

ROS Equine Veterinary Services Ltd
West Sussex | UK & International Work

Elite-level sports medicine & lameness specialists.
Driven by Precision. Dedicated to Performance.

ROS Equine is an independent ambulatory practice focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and optimisation of the sport horse.

We are now looking to recruit an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join the practice.

Full lameness investigations and performance work-ups
Diagnostic imaging (radiography & ultrasound essential)
Case management of high-level sport horses
Client communication at a professional and performance-focused level
Integration with farriery and rehabilitation strategies

The caseload is varied but consistently high quality — this is a role for someone who wants to work cases properly, not rush through volume.

What We’re Looking For

MRCVS registered Veterinary Surgeon
Minimum 3–5+ years clinical experience (equine essential)
Strong grounding in lameness and orthopaedics
Confident, clear communicator with clients and colleagues
High standards, attention to detail, and pride in clinical work
Someone who wants to progress, not plateau

The Opportunity

This role is designed for someone thinking beyond just their next job.

We are building a practice with long-term direction — and we are looking for individuals who want to be part of that journey.

For the right candidate, there is genuine scope to:

Develop a defined clinical niche within the practice
Take on increasing responsibility within case management and direction
Be involved in shaping how the practice evolves over time

This is an environment where contribution is recognised — and where the right person will naturally grow with the business.

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience
Performance-based progression
Company vehicle
Exposure to elite sport horse work (UK & international)
A focused, professional working environment with high clinical standards

dalyak@gmail.com (Dalya Livy) — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:02:05 GMT

We are an established, growing, fiercely independent, small animal and exotics practice in Christchurch, Dorset. We currently have 4 vets (2.5 FTE) and are looking for an additional vet to join our team!

At this stage of our practice growth, we are very much happy to wait for the right person, someone who shares our values, our vision for what veterinary practice should be, and who fits within our eclectic team.

TL:DR:
- £45-60k pa pro rata (possibly £65 for a vet who is an exceptionally good fit)
- flexible schedules accommodated
- 5 weeks annual leave + bank holidays pro rata
- 1 week CPD leave pro rata + unlimited CPD budget
- fantastic team dedicated to patient care and client relationships, and allergic to drama
- clients who appreciate us (and defend us against CMA/media rubbish)
- very well equipped practice
- a practice determined to make our small corner of the world a better place for our team, our patients, and or clients

Why should you join us? Grab a beverage, it’s a long one!

We do things a bit differently. We’re a team, first and foremost. We look after each other, and we work together. Everybody has a voice that is listened to, everybody has ideas that are discussed and implemented, everybody has a say in the ongoing improvement of how we care for our patients, our clients, our community and each other. We make sure there is plenty of time off, that the diary accommodates everyone’s needs, that mental health is central and not an afterthought. Our team is the heart of our practice, and they are talented and wonderful and we love each and every one of them.

We are Fear Free, Rabbit Friendly, and ISFM Silver cat friendly practice (going for gold this year!). Fear Free training is mandatory (and paid for) for all team members. We seek to understand our patients, treat them with kindness and respect, and aim to create a positive experience with every interaction. It takes a lot of stress out of the consult room for everyone!

We believe in client relationships and narrative medicine. Our clients are an integral part of the pet care team, and also treated with kindness and respect (themes!). We educate, we communicate, we console and reassure, we do our very best for every pet, every time. We solve problems. We are not afraid to show that we care. We follow our hearts, we think outside the box. We give our clients a lot of time (20-40min consults), and they value it.

We believe the only gold standard that exists is whatever is the best solution for the individual pet and client and budget in front of us at that point in time, and that there are always options. As a consequence, our client base is lovely and incredibly loyal, and we’ve built a lot of trust and an excellent reputation in the community. Complaints of any description are rare.

We believe in veterinary practices as part of a community. We raise funds for the local food bank, use local services whenever possible, recycle medical waste, compost, tend flowers for the bees, grow salads for our exotics by the front door, run a Little Free Library project. There is so much more to nurturing the human-animal bond and building trusting client relationships than simply treating the disease in front of us!

We believe in education and continuous learning. Our vets between them hold certificates in Exotics, Internal Medicine, and Anaesthesia; and also hold post-grad qualifications in Pain Management and Canine Rehabilitation. Our nurses have additional qualifications in exotics and feline behaviour, and our practice manager is also a clinical animal behaviourist. We also work with a brilliant visiting orthopaedic surgeon whose TPLO outcomes I would happily bet on against any specialist in the country. We are all keen on learning and individual progression, and CPD is unlimited (within reason, if you wanted to do 3 certs simultaneously we’d need to compromise a bit!). We aim to empower our people to be the best they want to be.

And we also empower our clients to be the best they want to be. We explain what’s going on, what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. We educate and demonstrate, answer all the questions, communicate in a way that helps every client understand what’s going on and their own part in it. We offer a variety of classes for our clients, including first aid, puppy and teenage dog classes, co-operative care, therapeutic exercise classes, and recently held a super fun class on core strengthening for Dachshunds!

Our team comprises of 5 RVNs, 1 student RVN, 1 clinical behaviourist/practice manager, and 5 lovely Client Care peeps to round us off and keep us out of trouble. Our nurses do everything they can - tons of nurse consults (it’s harder to book a nurse consult than a vet consult some weeks!) and Schedule 3 procedures.

Who are we looking for?
- you can confidently manage most routine cases and surgeries, which likely means at least 3y qualified
- we have enough breadth within the team to be able to accommodate people with niche skills, but our ideal person would be a true solid general practitioner
- an exceptionally good fit would be a vet with a skill set similar to mine - broad base but with ability to handle complex medicine cases, ultrasound, pain management, acupuncture
- a person who appreciates individualised approach to care
- a person who enjoys case continuity, while understanding the value of case discussions and using the skills and experience of the whole team for better outcomes
- a person who shares our values properly, not just on paper: teamwork, respect, education, and contextualise care

What’s the job like?
It’s obviously awesome, send us an email already! [emoticon:4191f5ee34e248a29fa0dbe8d975f74a]

Case load is diverse - regular stuff of all sorts, plus some more niche things like stem cell therapy and PRP, rehab, and exotics (not unusual to find eagles and monitor lizards around here!). About 1/3 of our caseload are exotics, but experience/involvement is not necessary.

We’re well equipped to help you do your work well, and always open to investing in equipment that will improve our patient care (and make the job more fun!). A cone beam CT scanner and a focused shockwave have joined the arsenal this year!

Days and hours are very flexible, anything from 20-40h per week (40h including paid lunch hours would be considered FT, we do need at least a 20h commitment). It can be any schedule except term time only - long days, short days, school hours only, evenings only (ha! we wish), consults only. Saturday mornings are evenly shared, 1 in 4, and are paid in addition to base salary. We’re quite flexible between the 4 of us, so can accommodate most shift patterns. There is no sole charge (apart from Saturday mornings) and no OOH. Admin time and breaks are blocked into the diary.

We do need someone with at least 3 years of clinical experience, at this stage we cannot accommodate a new or recent graduate.

Salary range would be £45-60k pa depending on skills and experience (we may be able to stretch to £65k for an exceptional candidate), pro rata based on 40h FT week equivalent, and paid overtime should it happen (not often). Annual leave is 5 weeks (200h) + bank holidays (80h) both pro rata. CPD leave is an additional 5 days (40h) pro rata. Paid RCVS, VDS and 1 other membership of your choice. Everything else is pretty standard.

There’s lots to do in the area - we have the beach, two rivers and the New Forest all on our doorstep, a historic market town, and food, arts and music festivals in the summer!

That’s us in a nutshell - come and join the (not at all) dark side! :) And please do have a look at our website and Facebook page for more info.

Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) / Referral Hospital Clinician

Dayshift
Salary: Salary starting from £55,000–£75,000(AP) per annum
Competitive, dependent on experience

We are a well-established, independent multidisciplinary referral centre, committed to delivering exceptional patient care and clinical excellence. As part of our continued growth, including the launch of our brand-new Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) facility in September/October 2026, we are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic veterinary surgeons to join our team.

Our centre provides referral services across a wide range of disciplines, including soft tissue surgery, orthopaedics, internal medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, cardiology, and oncology. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in both supporting our existing referral services and contributing to our expanding ECC and ICU provision.

The successful candidate will thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, where no two days are the same. You will be instrumental in managing emergency and critical care patients while supporting clinicians across all departments within the hospital.

Our state-of-the-art facilities include MRI, CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, arthroscopy, laparoscopy, fluoroscopy (dedicated theatre), separate medical and surgical wards, an in-house laboratory, operating microscope, advanced anaesthesia equipment, ventilators, and a comprehensive range of diagnostic and surgical tools. Our new ICU/high-dependency unit will further enhance our ability to deliver outstanding care to complex and critical patients.

You will become an integral part of our growing team as we continue to strengthen our reputation as a leading referral centre, delivering excellence for our patients, clients, and colleagues.

This position has three core aspects:

1. Clinical Duties (Primary Focus):
You will be heavily involved in the management of emergency and critical care cases, including triage, stabilisation, and ongoing ICU patient management.

This is a varied and hands-on role that is essential to the smooth and efficient running of the hospital.

2. Professional Development & Knowledge Building:
You will actively participate in structured learning opportunities, including journal clubs and case discussions. We are committed to fostering continuous professional development and encouraging clinical progression within ECC and referral medicine.

3. Contribution to Out-of-Hours Care:
You will contribute to the out-of-hours rota, supporting the care of hospitalised referral patients alongside our experienced nursing team. This includes managing a diverse caseload across multiple disciplines. Senior clinical support will always be available, but confidence in managing routine inpatient care and decision-making is essential. You will work alongside the night ECC team to provide Out of Hours care to our member practices. This means excellent clinical care but also ensuring detailed and timely updates for primary care practices. You should be comfortable providing emergency care for common medical and surgical presentations.

Applicant Requirements:

MRCVS qualified and eligible to work in the UK
Minimum of two years’ experience in primary care practice
Previous experience in Emergency & Critical Care and/or ICU is highly desirable
Experience with out-of-hours work is advantageous
Strong clinical skills with the ability to work effectively under pressure
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Good organisational ability and competent IT skills
A proactive approach to learning and professional development

Additional Information & Benefits:

6.6 weeks annual leave (including bank holidays), plus an additional day off for your birthday
Dedicated training and support in ECC, CT, and MRI
Generous CPD allowance with access to in-house training and development
Supportive and collaborative working environment
Staff discount scheme
Cycle to work scheme
RCVS and VDS fees paid
Salary starting from £55,000–£75,000 per annum (dependent on experience)
