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.
