Do you want to be part of a friendly, dynamic team with a feline medicine cert holder, visiting cardiologist and orthopaedic surgeon to learn from?

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. We offer a 4 day week as standard. Out of hours Weeknights 1:5 consults until 7pm, then inpatient care only if the nursing team need help. Critical cases referred to Vets now for monitoring. We have a dedicated duty/inpatient vet each night allowing you to leave on time the rest of the week.

Weekends are Saturday am consults then on call until 5pm. Sunday on call only 8-5pm, Vets now outside these times. We offer a good mix of consults and theatre time. Due to being increasingly busy due to the Covid pet boom, confidence with routine surgery is essential but support available from Surgery Certificate holder for anything more complex. We welcome applications for both part time and full time hours (minimum 2 full days. Weekends pro rata).

Kingswood Vets is a well-established local practice in Woking, with 2 branches within a 15 minute drive. We moved to a new purpose built hospital premises in 2018. We have a really good mix of well insured clients wanting gold standard plus RSPCA and other charity work. All the usual toys including tonopen, surgical diathermy, digital dental x-ray. Plenty of time to work up cases with support available if needed.

As work life balance is important to us, Woking is full of things to do, we are surrounded by golf courses, country parks like Lightwater Country Park, RHS Garden Wisley, unspoilt scenic walks which includes Pyrford Lock, a theatre, galleries and The Living Planet Centre. We do still have great transport links though being around 30 minutes from London Centre on the train

We are a team of 8 Veterinary Surgeons (6.5FTE), 8 Nurses (7FTE 6 RVN's and 2SVN) with an amazing support team of 12 who do all the hard work to keep the practice running smoothly. We have feline medicine certificate holder, visiting cardiologist and surgeon to learn from. We are expanding our team from 8-9 so we can ensure we have the time needed to work up cases and provide the excellent care our clients deserve.
