Are you looking for a role where you can thrive clinically, feel supported by a caring team, and enjoy a great balance of city life and career progression? This friendly East London practice is ready to welcome an additional vet into their growing, close-knit team.
This popular first-opinion practice is perfect for a vet who feels comfortable with routine surgeries and dentals but also wants the reassurance of knowing guidance is always on hand.
You'll have the backing of an experienced senior vet, a fantastic RVN team, enthusiastic trainee nurses, and a regional manager who ensures her practices feel well-supported. Complex cases are referred to a nearby 24-hour hospital, giving you exposure to advanced facilities (including CT, laparoscopic kit, ultrasound, and scopes) as well as the opportunity to build your ECC confidence.
 
The Role:
  • 40-hour working week
  • 1:4 Saturday branch rota
  • 1:8 Sunday hospital rota
  • Fair share of bank holidays (max 2 per year)
  • Twilight/on-call only as a last resort
An induction period includes a dedicated hospital shadowing day, so you feel comfortable before your first hospital shift.
 
The Package:
  • Salary: £45,000 - £61,000 DOE with clear progression opportunities
  • 6.6 weeks' annual leave, including bank holidays
  • Generous CPD package - £2,000 budget + 5 days' leave annually
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Private medical insurance (BUPA)
  • Access to 24-hour hospital facilities and a network of specialists for development
If you enjoy the pace of a busier GP environment but value being part of a supportive, forward-thinking team, this could be the role that helps you take the next step in your veterinary career.
