Our renowned veterinary practice is a haven for animal enthusiasts; we offer an exceptional work environment that nurtures both professional growth and personal fulfilment. The day‑to‑day duties include consultations, surgery (routine and more complex including enterotomies, cystotomies, caesarean, etc.) with dedicated admin time. We work to high general practice standards and have an interesting, varied caseload.
Work life balance that flexes with you. Our full‑time position is typically over 4 days with a mix of early and late shifts (1‑2 per week) and 1 in 4 weekends (one full Saturday only). We have no out‑of‑hours. However, we know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it easy for you to strike the right balance. We welcome both full‑time and part‑time applicants and are happy to be flexible and work together to find a rota that works for you.
Location: We are based in a lovely part of the world on the SW London/Surrey borders close to Wimbledon and Kingston‑upon‑Thames. Our location gives easy, fast access to London (25 minutes by train) and access out of London by car on the A3 if you want to head to the coast.
Facilities: We strive for high standards of general practice and are lucky to have a wide range of equipment and services. We have four consulting rooms, a dedicated prep room and theatre, a separate dental area as well as an x‑ray, digital/dental ultrasound room, multiparameter anaesthetic monitors, bronchoscopy, and a full surgical kit. We hold Gold Standard “Cat Friendly Clinic” status and have separate cat and dog waiting rooms and kennels to minimise stress for all patients. Depending on your special interests, we are always keen to invest in more equipment.
Team: We are a friendly team of varying experience including 4 vets, 2 clinical directors, 1 practice manager, 5 RVNS, 2 students, 1 VCA and 7 receptionists. Our clinical team have a huge variety of interests from surgery to emergencies, cardiology to ophthalmology and although we do not have any certificate holders, we encourage all our team to implement gold standard learnings into clinical practice.
We are proactive about encouraging CPD and sharing knowledge with the team, including clinical clubs and sociable vet evenings where we share the most recent attended training. We aim to give every team member a great quality of life and learning/working experience feeling supported with an open, caring structure.
