Job Description
Veterinary Surgeon – Independent Practice – Winchester
4-day week | No OOH | £DOE | Genuine progression
We're proud to be working exclusively with a long-established independent practice in Winchester that is looking to strengthen its veterinary team with an experienced GP Vet. This is a superb opportunity to join a respected, well-run clinic with an excellent reputation and one of the most stable nursing/reception teams in the region.
They are committed to securing the right vet — someone who will thrive in a supportive, high-standard environment and enjoy true clinical freedom.
The Role
* 4-day week (or flexible part-time options)
* 1 in 4 Saturdays, finish at 12pm
* No OOH
* 15-minute consults
* Mix of consults and surgery with time for case continuity
* Some sole charge (mainly Saturday mornings)
There is genuine flexibility to tailor the role around your interests — including the potential for a cardiology-biased day, supported by a Philips iE33 echo machine.
The Practice
This is a well-established independent clinic, serving a loyal and largely insured client base in a desirable part of Winchester. Established since the 1950s, the practice blends traditional personal service with excellent clinical standards.
You'll be joining a highly capable team, including vets with certificates in Dentistry, Medicine, Cardiology and Surgery, supported by an experienced RVN cohort and a strong, recently stabilised front-of-house team.
Facilities include:
* 3 consult rooms
* Dedicated surgical theatre
* Dental room
* Philips iE33 echocardiography machine
* On-site staff parking
What They're Looking For
The ideal candidate will be:
* A confident all-round GP
* Strong communicator with excellent client-facing skills
* Enthusiastic, proactive and team-focused
* Comfortable with some sole charge
* Interested in developing a clinical specialism (any area welcome)
This is a practice that values clinical freedom, high standards, and collaboration. Case discussions are strongly encouraged, and the owners remain available for guidance on complex or novel procedures.
Progression & Development
* CPD £1,000–£1,500, plus London Vet Show support
* Certificate study encouraged
* Opportunities for increased responsibility/leadership
* Genuine partnership potential for the right person
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
* True independence — no corporate pressures
* Lovely client base that values good medicine
* Supportive, experienced colleagues
* Excellent stability across the wider team
* Ability to pursue clinical interests
* Strong work–life balance
