Job description

Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal - Part-time

Salary up to £34,000 DOE

Are you searching for a role where every day feels rewarding and meaningful — but still leaves room for life outside of work? At Twickenham Veterinary Surgery, we’ve got just the opportunity.

Who we are

Twickenham Veterinary Surgery is based in the heart of Twickenham, a vibrant suburban town with plenty of lovely cafes, restaurants, and beautiful parks. Our practice is located along the scenic River Thames, just 10 miles west of Charing Cross, 2 miles southeast of Hounslow, and 2.6 miles northwest of Kingston upon Thames – with excellent transport links for easy accessibility.

We’re proud of our state-of-the-art facilities, which include a digital X-ray, ultrasound, multiparameter monitor, endoscope, laser therapy, and a dedicated nurse’s consulting room. We genuinely take pride in the work we do and the care we provide to both pets and their people.

Join our fantastic team

We’re looking for an experienced Part-Time Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team. The role is typically 10 hour days worked over 3 days (8:15–19:15), but we’re happy to consider a 2-day working pattern instead. There are no out-of-hours, weekends, or bank holiday commitments!

You’ll be joining a welcoming, experienced, and down-to-earth team of 5 Vets, 1 Director, 3 Part-Time RVNs, 5 Full-Time RVNs, 1 Student Nurse, 1 VCA, and 4 Receptionists.

We also work closely with a well-known small animal charity, so we get to care for the small furries regularly!

We know our people are fundamental to the success of our practice, so investing in our teams, our premises, and our processes is at the heart of everything we do.

In addition to a competitive salary, here’s what else you’ll get:

Work-life balance

• 6.6 weeks annual leave (including Bank Holidays, pro rata)
• Additional holiday entitlement for your birthday
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced family-friendly policies, including maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental and surrogacy pay

• Pension – 5% Employee / 3% Employer
• Discounted staff pet care
