Job Description

Our thriving independent practice in Guildford are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our busy practice. We are an independently owned, family-run small animal veterinary clinic based in West Surrey, providing the highest standard of care in a professional yet friendly environment. Established in summer 2022, the practice builds on a long-standing veterinary presence at the site, which dates back to the late 1970s. Following a full refurbishment, the clinic now benefits from modern equipment, updated surgical techniques, and improved facilities, creating an excellent working environment for the team. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional veterinary care with a personal touch. We understand and value the relationship clients have with their pets, and aim to ensure every animal we care for remains healthy and, most importantly, happy. Our approach combines accurate diagnostics, compassionate treatment, and clear client communication, all within a safe and supportive workplace. We are also committed to maintaining a traditional, friendly ethos while continuing to invest in the practice both technologically and aesthetically. The practice has two consult rooms, with vets typically working collaboratively, with two vets consulting at any one time. On average, the team performs up to 5 operations per day, with surgeries usually running until 2–3pm. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive working environment where every member of staff feels valued, with access to modern equipment and ongoing investment into the practice.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 18 months’ experience
  • Confident in both consultations and routine surgeries
  • A team player who thrives in a supportive environment

What we offer

  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Modern, well-equipped practice
  • Opportunity to develop within a growing independent clinic
  • Strong work-life balance with flexible rota options
