Are you a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon looking for a role that truly values patient-focused care but are also seeking a better work/life balance?
Our client, an independent practice in Surrey, is seeking a compassionate and skilled professional to join their team. This is a rare chance to be part of one of the last independent veterinary practices in the area, where the emphasis is on genuine support, valuing team members, and providing exceptional care to the local pet community.
Based in a beautiful area of Surrey surrounded by fields and village life, but only 30 minutes from Heathrow and with such easy access to London, this area offers the best of both worlds.
Imagine working a 4-day week with 31 hours, including only 1 in 3 Saturdays (8-12pm), and no Sundays, Bank Holidays, or out-of-hours work. Enjoy 20-minute consults, generous CPD allowance, and a competitive salary ranging from £40,000 to £50,000 per annum, depending on experience. This role offers a balanced work-life schedule with morning, afternoon, and evening breaks, as well as dedicated admin and lunch times.
The practice boasts state-of-the-art equipment, including a recently upgraded ultrasound, DR X-ray, multi-parameters, syringe driver, tonopen, and Phovia. The team is highly motivated, fostering a culture of continuous growth and collective input. Daily team catch-ups ensure everyone is aligned and supported.
Ideal candidates will have experience in first opinion practice and excel in building relationships with pet owners to provide holistic treatment. Empathy, effective communication, and the ability to offer thoughtful, solution-driven feedback are essential. A commitment to continuous growth, self-reflection, and open discussions about financial implications is also important. Support is available for recent graduates also.
You will be joining a highly motivated team of 7 vets and six RVN's with special interests, two student nurses, and two ANAs who optimise the workspace. The reception team ensures smooth operations, and the practice manager prioritises employee wellbeing and growth.
Additional benefits include 5 weeks of annual leave, increasing with tenure, generous sick pay, yearly work anniversary gifts, social events, and a salary sacrifice Health Cash Plan. The practice also collaborates with an expert orthopaedic team and offers separate dog and cat/rabbit wards.
If you are ready to join a practice that prioritises exceptional care and team support, apply today and become part of a team that truly values its members and the community it serves.
Visa Sponsorship Available for overseas candidates.
