At Spring Lodge Veterinary Group, we are expanding and excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a new colleague to join our well-established, friendly, and welcoming practice. Whether you’re looking to develop your clinical skills or want to be part of a collaborative and caring team, this could be the ideal next step in your career.
The Role
This is a permanent position with flexibility built in — we’re happy to discuss full-time or part-time options to suit your lifestyle and career aspirations.
What we offer
* 41 hours per week over 4 days, with our day running from 8:00am to the last appointment at 6:30pm.
* No out of hours work, with overnight inpatient care provided on-site.
* 1:5 Saturday morning rota.

Our Facilities
* As a hospital-standard clinic, we offer an extensive range of surgical and diagnostic equipment including:
* Separate dog, cat, and isolation wards
* Ultrasound, endoscopy, and dental radiography
* Full in-house laboratory
* Advanced surgical kit including laparoscopy and orthopaedic equipment
We are also a host clinic for Vets Now, allowing us to offer 24-hour patient continuity with the benefit of on-site support.
Our Team & Development Focus
We value individual growth and development. You’ll join a team of vets with certificates in surgery, medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, and advanced general practice — plus others currently working towards them.
We’re proud of our skilled nursing team, supported by 4 VCAs and dedicated receptionists at each of our six clinics. We actively encourage knowledge sharing through:
* Journal clubs (led by vets and nurses)
* In-house CPD sessions on special interest topics such as cardiology and ultrasonography
Our Culture
We’re a close-knit and supportive team that believes in looking after each other. Expect:
* Regular social events — from group-wide celebrations to smaller team get-togethers
* Qualified Mental Health First Aiders and Wellbeing Champions
* A commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement in all areas
Location
Ideally located with excellent access to London, the coast, and Stansted Airport, Spring Lodge offers the best of both worlds — easy access to the city and travel links, plus countryside living if you prefer a quieter pace.
Whatever your professional goals, we are keen to support you in achieving them. Join a team where you can thrive, feel valued, and grow.
