Veterinary Surgeon – Portsmouth, Hampshire
Up to £70k salary plus relocation support

A thriving small animal practice on the South Coast is looking for an additional vet to join their growing team. With strong leadership, a stable and experienced support team, and a collaborative environment, this is a brilliant opportunity for a vet who values a positive, team-focused workplace.

The Role

  • Full or part-time options available.

  • Full-time is 39 hours a week with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings (9am to 12pm).

  • Part-time ideally covers 3 days per week plus the same Saturday rota.

  • You’ll get a day off during the week, paid overtime, and protected admin time.

  • 15-minute consults as standard, longer when needed.

  • Diaries are managed to ensure everyone works at a steady, realistic pace.

The Practice
This is a busy GP practice with a loyal client base and a big focus on quality of care. It’s well equipped with a brand-new ultrasound, digital x-ray, and K-laser. There’s a planned refurbishment on the horizon, making this a great time to get involved in shaping the future of the clinic.

The Team
You’ll be working alongside vets with a range of experience, including a cert holder in surgery and a supportive practice owner who’s built the practice from the ground up. There’s a long-standing nurse team with over 30 years of combined experience, a strong clinical coaching culture, and a hands-on Practice Manager who helps maintain a genuinely warm and inclusive environment.

Location
Portsmouth is packed with character, coastlines, and green space. The practice is walking distance to parks, lakes, and beaches. Whether you're into the outdoors, history, or just looking for a lively and affordable place to live, it ticks all the boxes.

  • No OOH

  • 28 days holiday rising to 33 with service
