Ready to take the reins and run your own clinic? This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident vet to step into a senior role at a well-established South West London practice. With a strong support team, lovely bonded clients, and a good amount of clinical autonomy, it's a great setup for someone ready to lead day-to-day operations.

The Offer:

  • Salary £70,000 - £80,000+ DOE
  • Flexible working – current rota is Mon–Wed, but a 4-day week can be considered
  • 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays
  • 5 CPD days + annual CPD budget
  • Paid lunch breaks
  • Private healthcare 
  • Professional fees covered
  • Generous discounts on pet care and retail
  • Relocation assistance available

The Role: You’ll take the lead in a friendly, community-focused practice with excellent nursing support (including a senior RVN and trainee nurses). There is a good level of sole charge involved, so this role would suit someone confident with both clinical decision-making and mentoring.

The rota includes a 1:3 Saturday (branch), 1:10 Sunday (hospital), and just 1 bank holiday per year. You’ll also benefit from clinical support and case referrals from a 24-hour hospital just 15 minutes away.

Why this role? The practice has a real ‘local gem’ feel – close to the River Thames, cafés and transport links. Clients are loyal and largely insured, and the clinic itself has a strong reputation for continuity of care.

If you’re looking to step up and really make a practice your own, this is an ideal next move - get in touch by sending your CV to Sophie via APPLY or apply sophie@lloydandcowan.com.
