Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking for an exciting new challenge? Would you like the chance to help shape the future of a brand‑new, purpose‑built practice from the ground up? If so, we’d love to welcome you to join us at Uxbridge Vets for Pets.

About Us

We are looking for a dedicated and motivated Veterinary Surgeon to become an integral part of our growing team. This is a full‑time role (around 40 hours per week) typically working Monday – Friday 9am to 7pm with Saturdays on a fair 1 in 2 rota working 9am to 5pm. Our brand‑new practice is due to open in March 2026 and has been designed with both clinical excellence and colleague wellbeing in mind. You’ll be working in a light, spacious and air‑conditioned environment with access to state‑of‑the‑art equipment you’d expect from a modern, high‑standard first‑opinion Vets for Pets clinic. We have digital X‑ray, dental X‑ray, ultrasound, multi‑parameter monitoring, in‑house laboratory (including haematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis), microscope, and separate cat and dog wards. We also have a dedicated theatre, prep area, isolation room, and modern consult rooms designed for comfort and efficiency. Our equipment and layout have been carefully chosen to support excellent clinical care, smooth workflow, and a comfortable experience for both clients and their pets. We’re located on Cowley Retail Park in Uxbridge.

About You

• Be RCVS‑registered with at least 2+ years’ experience in a small animal practice
• Be confident with routine procedures, both surgical and medical
• Bring excellent communication skills with clients and colleagues alike
• Enjoy working as part of a team while being comfortable with sole charge when required
• Have (or be keen to develop) a specific area of interest — we’re happy to support certificates and further study

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of up to £60,000 (dependent on experience)
• Generous CPD allowance with support for certificate study
• 5.6 weeks’ annual leave (increasing with service)
• Contributory pension scheme
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
• Career development opportunities within a supportive network
• Access to colleague wellbeing programmes and pastoral care
• Cycle to work scheme
• 20% discount at Vets for Pets, Pets at Home and The Groom Room
• Exclusive colleague rewards and discounts across the wider Pets at Home Group

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a practice at the very beginning of its journey, giving you the freedom to influence its future direction and make a genuine impact in the local community. Our new Practice Owner, Oscar, had the following to say: “It will be a wonderful place to work, firstly because it’s a brand‑new practice — new beginnings, new people, and exciting times ahead as we get to know each other. My goal is to create a workplace focused on professional growth, diversity, and teamwork, while keeping it as fun and relaxed as a veterinary practice can be. I’ll always do my best to listen to everyone and support you in any way I can.”
