Ready to Shape the Future of a Growing Practice? This Is Your Moment.

Are you a confident, ambitious veterinary surgeon who’s ready to step into a role where your voice is heard, your ideas matter, and your future is yours to shape? If you're looking for more than just clinical work—if you're ready to be part of something with purpose—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

This independently owned, two-site small animal practice near Heathrow Airport is expanding its vet team and looking for an experienced GP vet who’s comfortable with sole charge and eager to take the next step. You’ll have genuine clinical freedom to work cases your way, backed by a supportive team and leadership that truly invests in its people. Whether you’re passionate about a specific area or keen to develop a niche caseload, you’ll be encouraged and supported every step of the way.

Each clinic is well-equipped, with digital X-ray, ultrasound, full Idexx in-house lab, diagnostic suite, theatre and prep areas—and both are set for renovations later this year, including plans to introduce dental X-ray. You’ll be working alongside an experienced and dedicated team, including a principal vet and head of clinic who has played a key role in transforming the practice into what it is today: progressive, independent, and growing with intention.

Your working week is designed with balance in mind. A four-day week, 9am–7pm, with just 1 in 3 Saturday mornings and no out-of-hours or on-call, means your evenings and weekends are yours again. Morning consults wrap up at 11:30am and don’t resume until 4pm, giving you valuable time to focus on procedures, case workups, admin, or simply catch your breath.

With excellent transport links, you’re minutes from Heathrow and within easy reach of central London—perfect for weekend escapes, international travel, or city adventures.

If you’re ready to be more than just another vet in another practice—if you want autonomy, opportunity, and a seat at the table—then this is where it starts. Get in touch to find out more.

The Package:

• An excellent salary of £55,000 - £70,000 DOE
• 33 days annual leave
• CPD is encouraged, with certificates supported
• Professional fees paid for RCVS and VDS
