Are you an experienced vet looking to join a passionate team where you can learn new skills and achieve your career goals? Join our small animal practice in Totton, Hampshire, as we are growing fast and looking for an additional veterinary surgeon to join our friendly team.
Our practice owner, Dr Judith Archbold, is an Advanced Practitioner in small animal surgery, and opened Totton Vets4Pets in June 2018. You’ll be joining an exceptional team of 2 full-time veterinary surgeons, 2 RVNs, 2 SVNs, and 3 receptionists, with our nurse team having a combined experience of 50 years!
Judith’s multiple certificates, including emergency medicine and surgery as well as soft tissue/orthopaedic surgery certAVP(gSAS), allow us to offer a varied case load and learning experience. We have orthopaedic equipment on site and are open to investing in further equipment, depending on our vets’ skill sets and interests.
Our days are well-structured with consultations between 9 am-12 pm, operations in between, lunch, and then consultations again from 3 pm with the last consultation at 6 pm, allowing everyone to leave on time when the practice closes at 7 pm.
This is ideally a full-time role to support the growth of the practice, with flexibility for shorter hours considered if required. Full-time, our vets currently work 4 days a week, in addition to a shared Saturday rota when we open between 9 am and midday for consultations and emergencies only. There are no out-of-hours (OOH) requirements.
We are looking for a colleague with solid GP experience, confident in occasional sole charge, a team player with great communication skills, and someone who shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.
By joining us, you will be part of a supportive and welcoming team in addition to:
* Salary up to £52,000 commensurate with experience
* 4 weeks holiday + 8 bank holidays (FTE)
* Life assurance 4 x annual salary
* Contributory pension scheme
* Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
* Dedicated CPD allowance
* Funding and support towards certificates available
* No out-of-hours (OOH)
* Cycle to work scheme
* Access to colleague assistance programmes - Retail trust and port of call
* Exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room, and Vet Group.
Totton Vets For Pets is a bright and airy standalone practice which includes 3 consult rooms and a theatre, along with a designated office and colleague space upstairs with a kitchen and seating area.
Totton itself can be found on the west side of Southampton with easy access to the picturesque New Forest National Park, making it a desirable place for anyone wishing to explore both coast and countryside.
We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference, so if you meet our role requirements, we’d love to hear from you.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets and value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves, so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
