Are you a Small Animal Vet looking for something different?

Want to work at a high-end practice with affluent, mostly insured clients?

We are delighted to be working with a luxury, small animal practice in the beautiful Kent countryside to support them in their plans to grow, and add a new veterinary surgeon to their small animal team on a permanent basis.

The Practice:

This is a family-run, small animal veterinary surgery offering a wide range of services – both first opinion and referral. The team consists of half a dozen vets, most of which are PG-Cert / CertAVP holders so there is plenty of experience to learn from. They are well supported by a fully staffed team of nurses, care assistants, and a Front of House team.

It’s well equipped with modern diagnostic equipment, spacious consult rooms, and operating theatres. Services include orthopaedic surgery (B.O.A.S, fractures, cruciate repairs etc.); stem cell treatments; cardiology; dental-specific theatres; soft tissue surgery; and a great plethora of medical treatments. To offer clients true value for money, they provide 30-minute consults, a warm & welcoming atmosphere, and a stress-free patient pathway.

The team is proud to be highly reviewed online and sees great success from clients’ word-of-mouth referrals.

The Role:

We are seeking a veterinary surgeon to join the team and manage a variety of first opinion cases. You should be comfortable managing routine small animal surgeries and overseeing consults independently. A drive to continue your professional development and learn how to handle increasingly complex cases is essential for success at the practice.

Veterinary Surgeons at the practice enjoy a competitive salary based on experience and a variety of benefits. The practice closes early on Saturdays, and there are no Sundays on rotation; VetsNow is used as the dedicated OOH provider.
