Job description

Lead Veterinary Surgeon | Medivet Hyde Park

This is a unique opportunity to lead in one of London’s most prestigious locations. Medivet Hyde Park is a newly renovated, boutique-style practice in the heart of the capital. With its smart, modern facilities and the iconic appeal of a Central London address, it’s the perfect setting for a Lead Vet who is ready to make their mark.

As Lead Vet, you will take responsibility for shaping the clinical standards and client experience at Hyde Park. You will have the autonomy to influence how the practice runs while benefiting from strong support from our wider Central London network. It’s an exciting chance to combine independence in clinical decision-making with the backing of a thriving veterinary community.

Within the practice, you will be supported by a skilled Registered Veterinary Nurse and a dedicated Client Care Assistant who manages front of house. The clinic itself features a spacious, welcoming reception, three large consulting rooms, a modern prep area and theatre, an in-house laboratory, and digital x-ray facilities — providing everything you need to deliver outstanding veterinary care in a first-opinion setting.

Beyond the practice, you’ll never be working alone. Hyde Park is directly supported by our Kensington 24-Hour Hospital, giving you seamless access to advanced diagnostics and round-the-clock care. You’ll also benefit from the expertise of certificate holders and experienced colleagues across Central London, allowing you to follow cases through beyond first-opinion level and continue developing your clinical skills.

Working at Medivet Hyde Park means more than just being part of a Central London practice. It offers the prestige of leading a newly renovated clinic in a landmark location, the professional growth that comes from close collaboration with a flagship hospital, and the support of a group that invests in both your development and your future. For the right person, there is also a clear pathway to Branch Partnership, giving you the opportunity to combine clinical leadership with practice ownership and long-term investment.

If you are ready to lead in one of London’s most desirable areas, with the freedom to shape a practice and the support of an outstanding network, we would love to hear from you.
