Independent Small Animal Vet Role – North Surrey / South West London
up to £85,000 DOE | 4-Day Week | No Weekends | Independent Practice | Accommodation Support Available

We’re working exclusively with a much-loved independent practice in the North Surrey/South West London area who are seeking a permanent vet to join their growing team.

The practice is currently supported by a brilliant married locum couple who have been a huge asset to the business – but with plans to open their own clinic later this year (in a different area – no competition!), the owner is keen to find someone local, long-term, and ready to grow with the practice.

The Role:

4-day week with Wednesdays off

No weekends or OOH

Mixture of consulting and operating

9am start (patients admitted by nurses from 8am)

Last appointment at 5.30pm (sometimes 5.40pm if urgent), finish around 6pm

Plenty of opportunity for breaks and a supportive team setup

Weekly Structure Example:

Monday & Friday – Operating in the morning, consulting in the evening

Tuesday – Sole charge (owner working remotely on AHCs)

Wednesday – Your regular day off (owner covers the practice)

Thursday – You operate, owner consults in the morning you consult in the evening

The practice has an experienced, friendly nursing team, long-standing receptionists, and a very loyal client base who are open to full workups. The owner is hands-on and passionate about maintaining high standards, and the whole team genuinely enjoy what they do.

What they’re looking for:

A confident small animal vet with at least 2 years’ experience

Excellent client manner and team player mentality

Ideally someone local – they really want someone who will enjoy the role without long commutes

RCVS Cert holders welcome – Soft Tissue Surgery, Imaging, Ortho all considered
(They do already have a great peripatetic ortho surgeon and ultrasonographer, but more in-house skills are always welcome)

They are not looking for someone with a management focus – this is a clinical role within a well-supported, well-run practice that values kindness, client care, and a good sense of humour.

Salary up to £85,000 DOE, with accommodation support/relocation assistance available for the right person.
