This is an independent, family-run small animal practice based in a vibrant Surrey town along the River Thames. Established for over 40 years, the practice has a long-standing reputation for excellent patient care and a loyal client base. Growth has continued steadily, with a standalone branch also serving the local community.

Providing the best possible care for patients is at the heart of the practice’s ethos, and the team is encouraged to keep learning and developing. Career progression is strongly supported, including CPD and certificate funding.

The Role:
The practice is looking for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon with some post-graduate experience to join their friendly and dedicated team.

Full-time hours: 4-day week (8:30 am – 7:00 pm) with a shared Saturday rota

Flexible options: Part-time or adjusted hours can be discussed

Balanced schedule: Vets are either consulting or in surgery to allow clinical focus

Dedicated admin and lunch breaks are built into the diary

Out-of-hours: Fully outsourced to an emergency provider

Youll have access to a well-equipped in-house lab, dental X-ray, ultrasound, and Tonovet, with strong nurse support and a great working atmosphere. The practice encourages case continuity and clinical freedom, giving vets the time and resources to work up their own cases.

Experienced RVNs and student nurses, many of whom trained and stayed with the practice long-term

Accredited nurse training centre

Regular support from peripatetic specialists including orthopaedics and cardiology

Collaborative, supportive team culture with strong emphasis on work-life balance
