Lead Veterinary Surgeon

I’m working with a fantastic, modern veterinary practice that’s looking for an experienced and motivated Veterinary Surgeon to step into a leadership role. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident vet who’s ready to guide a talented team, shape clinical standards, and make a genuine impact every day.

As Lead Vet, you’ll have clinical autonomy and the support of an experienced nursing team and practice manager, allowing you to focus on delivering outstanding patient care. You’ll play a key role in mentoring colleagues, driving best practice, and promoting a positive, progressive culture across medicine, surgery, and diagnostics.

This role would suit an RCVS-registered vet with proven leadership experience, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for team development and clinical excellence.

You’ll also enjoy a great package, including:

  • 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, rising with service, plus an extra ‘Day for You’

  • £1,500 CPD allowance with 3 paid CPD days and funded certificate opportunities

  • VDS, RCVS, and BVA fees paid

  • Cycle to Work scheme 

  • Quarterly Lead Vet contribution scheme offering up to 20% additional earnings

  • Generous staff discounts

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and lead a dedicated team within a supportive, forward-thinking environment, I’d love to have a confidential chat.
Contact me, Emily, at emily@lloydandcowan.com.

If this role isn’t quite right for you but you know someone who would be a great fit, refer them to me and receive a £250 referral bonus if they’re successfully placed.
