Growing independent small animal practice in the Brentwood area looking to expand their veterinary team due to ongoing client growth.

Part-Time | 2030 Hours per Week | Up to £45,000 DOE | Growing, Modern Clinic

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a truly independent, purpose-built small animal practice owned and run by a Veterinary Nurse alongside a supportive leadership team. The clinic has been thoughtfully designed with space to grow and future plans to progress towards hospital status, including developing an in-house OOH service over the coming years.

The practice is currently a small and friendly team consisting of 1 Permanent Vet, a long-term locum Vet, and 4 Nurses, with a steadily growing client base. Consults are 15 minutes as standard, and the balance between surgery and consulting can be shaped around your strengths and interests.

Ideal candidate: a Small Animal Vet with around 3+ years' experience, confident in routine first‑opinion work and comfortable working independently when needed. Newly qualified vets are not being considered at this stage.

Role details: The role is part‑time, working 2030 hours across 23 days per week, with a proposed 1 in 4 weekend rota planned to be introduced soon (currently no weekend work in place). Certificate study can be supported in the future.

The clinic is modern, spacious and purpose‑built, offering room for the service to grow naturally and a real opportunity to be part of shaping that journey from an early stage.

Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience, plus full support for ongoing development.
