Veterinary Surgeon – Independent Practice | Brand-New Site | Up to £65K

We’re working with a fast-growing, independent group that’s just about to open the doors to their brand-new, state-of-the-art clinic. They’re now looking to welcome a dynamic, pet-and-people-focused Veterinary Surgeon to join them on this exciting new chapter.

You’d be working alongside a hugely experienced Clinic Director and an initial team of 2 RVNs and 2 Care Coordinators – with clear plans for team expansion as the practice grows.

The Role

  • 4-day week (8:45am – 7:00pm)
  • 1 in 2 Saturday mornings (8:30am – 1:00pm) — expected to reduce as more vets join
  • No out-of-hours work
  • 15-minute consults with daily admin time
  • A mix of consulting and surgical time each day
  • Fear-Free approach and training provided

The Package

  • Salary between £50,000–£65,000 depending on experience
  • 5 weeks holiday + bank holidays (Good Friday worked, but a day in lieu given)
  • £1000 CPD allowance with support toward certificates
  • Private medical insurance and Employee Assistance Programme
  • Birthday off and two charity days per year
  • RCVS & VDS fees covered
  • Pension scheme
  • Relocation support up to £5,000
  • Free wellness plan for your own pets, plus staff discounts
  • Quarterly team socials, annual summer and Christmas parties
  • Occasional CPD trips to Nice, Monaco, and even the chance to attend NAVC in the US

This is a great opportunity for a vet who wants to be part of a modern, values-led clinic from the ground up — with clinical freedom, support, and space to grow.
