Veterinary Surgeon – 24-Hour Hospital Role (South West London)
Work Cases That Challenge and Grow You

Looking to step beyond routine GP and into true hospital-level practice? This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet ready to work in a busy, well-equipped 24-hour hospital in South West London.

This long-established RCVS-accredited hospital provides exposure to a wide mix of clinical cases — from everyday consults to second opinions, complex surgeries, and emergency care. With a full in-house lab, digital x-ray, ultrasound, CT, endoscopy and more, there’s genuine scope to see your cases through from start to finish.

The team is experienced and collaborative, with several vets and nurses having worked here for over a decade. The hospital supports graduate development, ECC accreditation, and even advanced procedures including BOAS, laparoscopic surgeries, thyroidectomy, TPLO, fracture repair and more.

The Role:

  • Full-time, 40-hour week

  • 1 in 6 weekends

  • Varied caseload – not just routine, with strong medicine and surgical exposure

  • Ideal for someone with 2+ years' UK experience

  • Interest in internal medicine or ultrasound welcomed (but not essential)

Why this hospital?

  • Join a 24-hour site with strong clinical infrastructure

  • Work alongside 7 day vets, 3 night vets, 6 RVNs and a full support team

  • Continued development encouraged — CPD and certificate support available

  • Located in the heart of South West London with great transport links

If you’re looking for a hands-on role in a busy hospital with a supportive team, where you can challenge yourself clinically and grow in your career, this is a great place to be.
