Are you a small animal vet who's ready for a role that values you as much as your patients? This independently owned practice offers a refreshing alternative to the corporate model where your voice matters, your wellbeing is protected, and your career is truly supported.
Nestled in the heart of Berkshire's countryside, this modern and welcoming practice combines a relaxed, community feel with the clinical standards of a progressive, multi-site group. The clinic opened just last year, so you'll enjoy a beautifully equipped space featuring digital radiography, ultrasonography, and an in-house Idexx lab, plus access to visiting soft tissue, orthopaedic, and ophthalmology surgeons for those trickier cases.
You'll be joining a genuinely supportive team including an experienced owner-vet, a friendly part-time colleague, and a group network of 20 surgeons and 70 staff across 13 practices, so there's always someone to collaborate or share ideas with.
The Offer
* Salary: £50,000 - £80,000 (commensurate with experience and hours)
* 4-day week with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
* No on-call, no Sundays, no bank holidays
* Up to 6 weeks' annual leave
* Generous CPD allowance - certificate support actively encouraged
* Loyalty bonus and staff referral schemes
* Staff pets treated at cost + 25-35% Pets Corner discount
* RCVS and VDS fees fully covered
This is a role where flexibility is genuinely offered — whether you're looking for part-time hours, clinical variety, or the chance to grow with a thriving, well-established group that still feels family-run.
About you:
* A confident vet with around 2+ years' experience
* Someone who enjoys autonomy but also values teamwork and shared learning.
* You'll have solid GP skills, good communication, and a caring approach that fits a team built on mutual respect and collaboration.
Whether you're ready to take the next step in your career or simply looking for a better balance, this is a role where you'll be listened to, supported, and genuinely appreciated.
