A well-established, community-focused practice in leafy South West London is looking to welcome a Veterinary Surgeon to the team. With a long-standing client base built on word-of-mouth and continuity of care, this clinic is a key part of the local neighbourhood.

The Location
Based in Old Isleworth, the practice offers a calm and well-connected setting — close to the Thames, with easy access to Richmond Park, Kew Gardens and Central London. A great option for those who enjoy both green space and city living.

The Role
This is a sole-charge position, but support is never far away. The vet team has strong ties with nearby practices, and clinical back-up is always available when needed.

You’ll manage a varied caseload, with a particularly high number of feline patients. The clinic is actively involved in local charity neutering schemes, so soft tissue surgery is a key part of the role.

What They’re Looking For
They’re keen to speak with confident, proactive vets who are comfortable working independently but happy to collaborate as needed. You should be experienced in:

  • Routine surgery and consulting

  • Managing your own caseload

  • Building rapport with clients and the local community

The Rota

  • Full-time: 4 days per week

  • 1 in 6 weekends

  • No out-of-hours (covered by a nearby 24/7 hospital)

What’s on Offer

  • Funded certificate
  • 5 weeks’ annual leave plus bank holidays (rising to 6 weeks with service)
  • £1,500 CPD allowance + 3 paid days
  • RCVS, BVA and VDS fees paid
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • Visa sponsorship 
  • Relocation support available
  • And more! 

Next Steps If you’re an experienced vet looking for a supportive, standalone role in a calm London location, this could be a great fit. Get in touch to learn more or have an informal chat, send a CV to Sophie via APPLY.
