We’re excited to offer an excellent opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join a well-established practice in Chipstead, Surrey. Nestled in the beautiful Surrey Green Belt, this practice is a much-loved part of the local community with a strong, loyal client base and a reputation for delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
This is a permanent position with flexibility for full-time or part-time hours, and offers a salary of £60,000 - £70,000 per year, pro rata, depending on experience. They are seeking someone with a minimum of 12 months in practice who is confident with routine soft tissue surgeries, consultations, and general medical work-ups. Some sole charge will be required, so applicants should be comfortable working independently when needed.
You’ll be joining a close-knit, supportive team that currently includes two experienced vets and a full complement of nursing and client care staff. The team works collaboratively, and there is a strong emphasis on shared learning and clinical support, with access to a local 24-hour hospital in Beckenham for backup and case referrals.
The practice itself features two consult rooms, a fully equipped theatre and prep area, dedicated cat and dog wards, and an X-ray room. It’s also well equipped with an ultrasound machine and in-house lab, providing everything you need to deliver excellent first opinion care.
This is a fantastic role for someone who values client relationships and thrives in a smaller, friendly practice setting. An interest in medicine would complement the surgical skill set already in place, though this is not essential. Support for certificates is available in any small animal discipline, and you’ll have the chance to grow your skills in a practice that values development and career progression.
You’ll enjoy a four-day working week, with 1 in 3 Saturdays, and no out-of-hours, offering great work-life balance.
They can offer a comprehensive benefits package, including private medical insurance and a health cash plan from day one, life assurance at 3x salary, and access to 24-hour counselling support. You’ll also receive 5 weeks’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays (rising to 6 weeks with service), an additional paid ‘Day for You’, and a CPD allowance of £1,500 with 3 days paid CPD leave. They cover your RCVS, VDS, and BVA fees, offer interest-free season ticket loans, a Cycle to Work scheme and full visa and relocation support where required.
