Lynton House Vets, Woking, Woking, South East
Salary up to £70,000 DOE and relocation allowance up to £5,000
For over 70 years, Lynton Vets has been at the heart of the Woking community, proudly caring for generations of pets and the families who love them. We’re now looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our dedicated and welcoming team, where building strong relationships with clients and providing exceptional patient care always come first.
A Practice Designed for Pets and People
Our purpose-built hospital-standard practice in Woking is thoughtfully designed to give both pets and their owners the very best experience. From separate cat and dog waiting areas and consult rooms including a designated cat consultation room and a large, private bereavement suite, to spacious prep areas, two theatres, dedicated imaging and lab spaces, and comfortable wards, every detail has been created with care. We’re proud to offer modern facilities such as ultrasound including VVS scans, digital and dental X-ray, multiparameters, and the option to refer when needed. You’ll also find plenty of space for yourself too, with a dedicated office for admin work and a large staff room with its own kitchen.
Variety in Your Day
No two days are the same here. Our vets enjoy a healthy balance of consulting and surgery, with procedures ranging from routine neutering and lump removals to soft tissue surgery. Prefer a consult-only or surgery-focused role? We’re flexible and happy to shape your workload around your strengths and passions.
Skilled Nursing Support
Our experienced team of Registered Veterinary Nurses are the backbone of the practice, and we’re proud of the role they play in both patient care and client relationships. Our RVNs run their own clinics, taking charge of second vaccinations, post-op checks, discharges, admits, and repeat medication injections. In theatre, they provide seamless support to our vets, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of care. Their skill and dedication mean our vets can focus on what they do best, knowing their patients are in safe hands.
A Team That Feels Like Family
You’ll be joining a supportive and experienced team of seven Veterinary Surgeons, ten Registered Veterinary Nurses, student nurses, ANAs, and a brilliant reception crew. Together, we’re proud to deliver a compassionate, community-focused service, and we’re always looking to grow and learn. One of our vets is currently completing a certificate in Dentistry, and we regularly welcome a visiting orthopaedic specialist to the practice. Giving back matters to us too, we actively support local and national charities including Cats Protection, Guide Dogs, and Dogs Trust.
Grow With Us
Your professional development is as important to us as the care you give to patients. Whether you want to pursue a certificate, deepen your clinical skills, or simply stay curious and keep learning, we’ll support you with funded CPD, time to study, and the encouragement you need to grow.
We care about your work life balance
This is a full-time position, working four days across 40 hours, with no out-of-hours commitment. You’ll join our 1:4 Saturday rota 8:30am–4:00pm with time back in lieu. We’re also open to part-time hours for the right candidate because we know balance matters. While our main site is in Woking, occasional travel to our Addlestone and Bagshot branches will be part of the role.
A Place to Call Home
For those who may be relocating or simply want the convenience, we also have self-contained accommodation available at our Bagshot practice. It’s a comfortable option that makes settling in easy and gives you one less thing to think about while you focus on your new role.
