Job description

Veterinary Surgeon - Independent Practice - Winchester

We're proud to be working exclusively with a long-established independent practice in Winchester that is looking to strengthen its veterinary team with an experienced GP Vet. This is a superb opportunity to join a respected, well‑run clinic with an excellent reputation and one of the most stable nursing/reception teams in the region.

We are committed to securing the right vet — someone who will thrive in a supportive, high‑standard environment and enjoy true clinical freedom.

Role

• 4-day week (or flexible part-time options)
• 1 in 4 Saturdays, finish at 12pm
• No OOH
• 15‑minute consults
• Mix of consults and surgery with time for case continuity
• Some sole charge (mainly Saturday mornings)
• Flexibility to tailor the role around interests, e.g., cardiology‑biased day supported by a Philips iE33 echo machine

The Practice

This is a well-established independent clinic, serving a loyal and largely insured client base in a desirable part of Winchester. Established since the 1950s, the practice blends traditional personal service with excellent clinical standards. You'll be joining a highly capable team, including vets with certificates in Dentistry, Medicine, Cardiology and Surgery, supported by an experienced cohort and a strong, recently stabilised front‑of‑house team.

Facilities

• 3 consult rooms
• Dedicated surgical theatre
• Dental room
• Philips iE33 echocardiography machine
• On‑site staff parking

What We’re Looking For

• Confident all‑round GP
• Strong communicator with excellent client‑facing skills
• Enthusiastic, proactive and team‑focused
• Comfortable with some sole charge
• Interested in developing a clinical specialism (any area welcome)

Progression & Development

• CPD £1,000‑£1,500, plus London Vet Show support
• Certificate study encouraged
• Opportunities for increased responsibility/leadership
• Genuine partnership potential for the right person

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• True independence — no corporate pressures
• Lovely client base that values good medicine
• Supportive, experienced colleagues
• Excellent stability across the wider team
• Ability to pursue clinical interests
• Strong work‑life balance
