About us

Pennard Vets is truly independent and rooted in Kent, meaning there is no corporate group behind us. Our Sevenoaks hospital is the referral hub for our seven branch surgeries, and we’re looking for an experienced vet who thrives in a busy hospital environment and wants the scope to develop a special interest in imaging and emergency medicine.

The hospital

• Purpose-built, with three dedicated theatres, lap spay and endoscopy, a dental suite, and a hydrotherapy unit
• Separate dog, cat and exotics wards
• Full imaging suite including CT, MRI, X-ray and ultrasound plus digital cytology and in-house labs
• Our own emergency out-of-hours service, staffed separately so it’s not part of your rota
• Most clients have unlimited consults, meaning genuine case continuity and relationships that last
• An experienced in-house team including imaging, medicine, surgery, dentistry and ophthalmology certificate holders plus RCVS-recognised specialists in neurology, ophthalmology and internal medicine, through our shared site with South East Veterinary Referrals

What you’ll bring

• Clinical confidence, and high standards you’re happy to communicate
• Curiosity – we like exploring new ways of doing things, and we value your opinion
• A drive to keep learning and developing, whether that’s a certificate, a new skill, or simply getting better at what you already do
• An appetite to help shape the business as we grow

What we offer

• Salary: £50–65k (potentially more for a certificate holder) with a clear path to grow
• CPD: unlimited (with approval), plus certificate support
• Leave: 6.6 weeks a year including Bank Holidays
• Fees: RCVS and VDS covered
• Rota: 4-day week, with protected admin time built into your day
• Out-of-hours: up to 1 in 3 Saturday mornings and no overnight OOH
