About Us

Riverside Vets stands out as an independent, supportive, close-knit, and progressive practice because we prioritise a collaborative team environment where every voice is valued. Our focus is on delivering exceptional care while continually growing through innovative practices and ongoing professional development. With a strong emphasis on work-life balance and a positive, inclusive culture, Riverside Vets offers an environment where both personal and professional growth thrive. It’s a place where your skills are appreciated, and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact in a dynamic and friendly team.

Nestled near the historic city of Winchester and surrounded by the stunning Hampshire countryside, we’re just a stone’s throw from the New Forest National Park. With direct train links to London and close proximity to Southampton and Bournemouth Airports, our location offers the perfect blend of rural charm and convenient travel connections.

The Role

Working alongside a 3-vet equine team and an 7-vet small animal practice, there’s always plenty of support from a close-knit, collaborative team. We believe in giving our vets a voice and the opportunity to be hands-on in developing the practice as we evolve into the next exciting phase of growth.

The role predominantly involves working with a leisure horse population, with a wonderful client base that makes every day enjoyable. We value work-life balance and encourage personal and professional development, so you can achieve your goals while progressing in your career. Special interests and skills are highly encouraged and will be fully supported.

As Jenny, who is sadly leaving us, shared:
"I have had a wonderful 3 and a half years at Riverside Vets as an equine vet. The practice has provided me with invaluable experience, fully supportive colleagues, and incredible clients for which I will always be grateful. I have loved being part of an independent, forward-thinking, collaborative practice and shall miss the team when I move."

If you're looking to join a forward-thinking, supportive practice and help shape the future of our equine services, we'd love to hear from you!
