Our client, a well-established and purpose-built veterinary practice in North East London, is looking to welcome a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to their friendly and progressive team. This is an exciting opportunity for a vet with solid clinical experience who values continuity of care, client trust, and being part of a genuinely supportive environment.
They’re ideally seeking someone with over three years of post-qualification experience, including at least one year in UK practice. The right fit will be someone who thrives in a team setting, is confident managing cases independently, and has a strong interest in early diagnostics and long-term patient outcomes. A thoughtful, patient-focused approach and a collaborative mindset are key.
The clinical team is known for its strong communication and mutual respect, and includes colleagues who are certificate holders or working towards further qualifications. Everyone plays a part in creating a calm, welcoming space—for clients, pets, and each other.
The role is offered on a full-time basis, with a four-day working week and a regular weekday off to support work-life balance. Each shift is nine hours, with a blend of consulting and surgical responsibilities, plus a dedicated hour of admin time built into each day. The weekend rota is just 1 in 4. Flexibility is available, and the practice is happy to explore alternative working arrangements for the right candidate.
This role offers a salary of up to £70,000, depending on experience and scope of responsibility, along with a generous and well-rounded benefits package designed to support both professional development and personal wellbeing.
Benefits include:
  • Quarterly recognition payments
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Income protection
  • Electric car scheme
  • Boost employee benefits and retail discounts
  • Health and wellbeing support via Help at Hand
  • Funded professional memberships
  • Generous CPD allowance
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Internal leadership training opportunities
  • Colleague discounts on veterinary services
The practice itself is modern, well-equipped, and located in a vibrant part of North East London—close to excellent transport links, and with easy access to both green spaces and the city. It forms part of a respected, independent veterinary group that has grown while staying true to its values of care, consistency, and community.
If you’re a vet who wants to feel genuinely supported in your next role—and to grow within a team where your voice and clinical judgement are truly valued—this could be the perfect opportunity. Please get in touch to learn more.
