Out of Hours / Night Veterinary Surgeon – Ipswich, Suffolk

Up to £68,000 DOE | Part-time | Annualised hours

Looking for excellent earning potential, a genuinely flexible rota and a strong work-life balance? This could be the OOH role for you.

Join a friendly, experienced Out of Hours team at a fully equipped, forward-thinking hospital in Suffolk. You’ll work alongside a dedicated ECC RVN, with receptionist support during day shifts, and have the clinical freedom to manage a varied emergency caseload.

Why this role?

• Up to £68,000 DOE on an annualised-hours basis
• 1:4 working pattern
• Two weekend day shifts, 7 nights and 2 bank holiday days
• Three weeks off between rota blocks
• Average 26.25 hours per week, offering an excellent work-life balance

The role

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced ECC Vet looking for a rewarding OOH position without a traditional full-time rota.

You’ll manage emergency consultations, medical work-ups, inpatient care and surgical cases, with the support of an experienced ECC team. The practice is well equipped to provide a broad range of medical and surgical services, giving you the tools to deliver high-quality care when it matters most.

And there’s more to look forward to — the team is due to move into a brand-new, purpose-built hospital by the end of 2026, featuring an onsite CT scanner, dental X-ray and dedicated species-specific wards.

About you

We’re looking for an experienced MRCVS, ideally with 3–4+ years’ experience, who is confident managing emergency medical and surgical cases. You’ll have strong clinical skills, good decision-making ability and excellent communication skills, with a genuine passion for delivering outstanding patient and client care.

The package

Alongside the attractive annualised salary, you’ll receive paid RCVS and VDS fees, generous CPD support, access to specialist telemedicine and clinical networks, postgraduate qualification funding, wellbeing support and enhanced family-friendly benefits.

If you’re an experienced Vet looking for a well-paid OOH role with an unusually generous rota and three weeks off between shifts, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
