Veterinary Surgeon | Clinical Freedom | Independent Practice | West London | Up to £70,000
Looking for a role where your ideas are valued, your clinical decisions are respected, and you can genuinely influence the direction of a growing practice?
This independent small animal practice in West London is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join its close-knit team and play a key role in its next phase of growth.
For vets who have reached the stage where they want more than simply moving from consult room to consult room, this offers the opportunity to help shape services, develop areas of interest, and become an influential voice within the practice.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Independently owned and led by a progressive, experienced veterinary team, the practice has built a loyal client base and strong reputation for delivering personalised, high-quality care.
You'll enjoy genuine clinical freedom, allowing you to work cases up thoroughly and practice medicine your way. Whether your interests lie in surgery, medicine, behaviour, exotics, dentistry, imaging, or something entirely different, you'll be encouraged and supported to develop your expertise and help grow that area within the practice.
The leadership team actively welcomes new ideas, investment opportunities and service development, making this an ideal role for someone who wants to contribute beyond the day-to-day caseload.
The Role
This position would suit a confident GP vet who enjoys a good mix of medicine and surgery and is comfortable with periods of sole charge.
You'll work alongside a supportive and approachable leadership team that remains heavily invested in clinical standards while continuing to grow and improve the business.
There is significant scope for future progression, leadership development and increased responsibility for those looking to take the next step in their career.
Facilities
The practice operates across two well-equipped sites with access to:
• Digital radiography
• Ultrasound
• Full IDEXX in-house laboratory
• Dedicated theatre and prep areas
• Diagnostic facilities on site
• Planned refurbishment and investment programme underway
• Dental radiography planned as part of future development
Work-Life Balance That Actually Works
The rota has been designed to provide a sustainable workload and genuine work-life balance.
• 4-day week
• 9am to 7pm shifts
• 1 in 3 Saturday mornings only
• No Sundays
• No bank holidays
• No out-of-hours
• No on-call commitments
Consulting is structured to allow time to properly work up cases, complete procedures, contact clients and stay on top of admin without constantly feeling rushed.
What's on Offer
• £55,000 to £70,000 depending on experience
• 33 days holiday
• Generous CPD allowance with certificate support available
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• Genuine clinical freedom
• Future leadership and development opportunities
• Supportive independent ownership
Location
Based in West London, the practice benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to Central London, surrounding counties and Heathrow Airport, making both commuting and travel straightforward.
