Are you an experienced Vet looking to join a friendly, supportive team in a growing and forward-thinking independent practice? Our client, a thriving small animal practice situated on the Hertfordshire/Essex border, is expanding and on the lookout for a motivated Veterinary Surgeon to become a part of their passionate and dedicated team. With a main hospital based in a bustling West Essex town and a nearby branch surgery set for expansion, this is an exciting time to join.

You’ll be working alongside a collaborative team of 5 Vets, 12 Nurses, 4 Veterinary Care Assistants and 5 Receptionists, in an environment where your input is valued and ideas are always welcome. The practice offers high-quality care ranging from routine consultations to complex surgeries, and they pride themselves on delivering exceptional patient care while fostering a genuinely positive workplace culture.

The main site is currently undergoing significant renovations designed to enhance both patient and team experience, including the addition of separate cat and dog waiting areas, new consult rooms, an isolation ward and more. The facilities are well-equipped with digital x-ray, ultrasound, an in-house lab and everything else you'd expect from a modern practice. A nurse is on-site 24/7 to handle out-of-hours calls, meaning Vets are only called in when needed, with the rota involving one weeknight on-call and one in every 4–5 weekends.

Peripatetic specialists regularly visit the practice, offering appointments and advice, and there’s always opportunity to learn and grow. Our client is looking for a Vet who is confident with sole charge and possesses solid surgical skills. Most importantly, they’re looking for someone who enjoys what they do, brings a sense of humour to work, and thrives in a laid-back but professional atmosphere.
