Job Details

Surgery Information / Job Description

We are a busy, small animal practice based in the leafy suburb of Wimbledon and are looking for an enthusiastic and professional veterinary surgeon to join our team!

You will be joining a happy and supportive team of 2 vets, one of which is our head vet and director, 2 RVNs and 2 receptionists. We also have an animal behavioural specialist attend on a frequent basis. We see a wide variety of cases including a higher than average number of rabbits and exotics and we take pride in working up cases to an extremely high standard.

We have a bright, air-conditioned surgery which is purpose built to industry leading standards and we have state of the art equipment including digital x-ray and in-house laboratory facilities. We are supportive of individual interests so if you have a particular area of interest, this could be the practice for you! 

Person Specification

Applicants will be experienced, confident with all routine surgical and medical cases and special interests will be welcomed and supported. The practice offers clinical freedom and the opportunity to work with a varied and loyal client base, working up cases to a high standard.   The ideal candidate to join our team will enjoy building relationships with patients and clients. Experience in emergency surgery as well as working with rabbits would be an advantage, but not essential. Due to the experience within the team, we are looking for a vet with a minimum of 3 years experience.

This is a full time role with weekends on a rota basis. There will be some sole charge responsibility but no OOHs ensuring a healthy work-life balance!

Benefits In return, we offer:

  • Excellent career opportunities and development due to the varied case load
  • Competitive salary (£45,000 depending on experience)
  • Enhanced annual leave
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Generous CPD and funding of certificates for the right candidate
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
  • Childcare vouchers
  • Exclusive company discounts and rewards  

We are an Equal Opportunities Employer

Locally owned practices with a world of support

At Vets for Pets we’re a network of practices that are owned and managed by the practice owners that run them. Because they’re locally owned, each practice has the freedom to serve patients and clients the way it thinks is best. 

But crucially, being locally-owned also means enjoying a truly team-spirited atmosphere. We want all our colleagues to build lasting relationships with practice owners and team members as well as patients and clients.

And because we’re also part of a wider group, you’ll get all the support you need when you need it. That means state-of-the-art facilities, high quality CPD, financial stability and a real sense of job security.

With our framework, we’ve made it simpler and easier for you to help patients and clients live happier, healthier lives together. It’s about making the most of your expertise and bringing this to life in practise while being safe in the knowledge that you’re looked after too. Simply put, we offer locally owned practices with a world of support.

Flexibility & Wellbeing
You tell us which hours you want to work, and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen. With us, you could enjoy a better work-life balance where flexibility and wellbeing come first.

Training & Development
We offer great training programmes, plus fully funded CPD, leadership courses and access to our group’s learning curriculum. We’ll also support you if you’re interested in owning a practice. With our wealth of resources, it’s easy to build your skills and develop your career.

Local Practices
With us, no two practices are the same. We’re deeply rooted in our local communities and we want you to really get to know your patients and clients locally.

Being part of the Pets At Home Group
Being part of Vets for Pets means you’ll be part of our network of locally owned practices. Our practices are located across the country and are owned and run by our Joint Venture Partners (JVPs). Our Joint Venture Partnership model is unique and gives everyone the best of both worlds. Working within one of our practices you’ll get to work with the JVP who has the clinical freedom and autonomy to do things their own way.

As we’re part of a large respected organisation you’ll also enjoy the benefits of being part of a wider PLC Group. This means we can give you greater stability and job security during these uncertain times and beyond. 

What’s more, we’ve worked hard to make sure everyone in our group can take part in a fun, friendly, professional and inclusive culture that allows you to bring your whole self to work and be at your very best.
