Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon ready to step into a leadership role where your clinical insight, and strategic vision will make a real impact? Join Holly House vets as a Lead Veterinary Surgeon and help shape the future of our thriving practice. This position is for internal applicants only.

As the lead veterinary surgeon, you'll play a key role in leading our friendly, talented team, overseeing clinical standards, contributing to the practice's growth, and fostering a supportive and positive work culture. You'll also retain hands-on clinical time, striking a balance between leadership and doing what you love.

Our facilities include purpose-built consulting rooms, an isolation ward, and a spacious prep/theatre suite. We utilise multiparameter monitoring for anaesthesia and a ventilator to ensure the highest standard of care. Handling both first opinion and referral cases, our focus remains on delivering exemplary care to every species.
