Senior Vet - Small Animal

Kingswood Vets, Woking, Woking, South East Salary up to £80,000 DOE | Relocation allowance up to £8,000 | Welcome bonus up to £10,000

We are looking for an experienced Senior Veterinary Surgeon to join the team at Kingswood Vets. This is a predominantly clinical role, ideal for a vet who enjoys being hands on, particularly with surgery, and wants the opportunity to work within a well equipped hospital environment alongside a strong multidisciplinary team.

You will play an important role in maintaining high clinical standards, supporting less experienced colleagues when needed, and delivering excellent patient and client care. This role is well-suited to a confident clinician who enjoys complex cases and surgical variety, without the pressure of full management responsibility.

Kingswood Vets is a long-standing practice at the heart of the local community in Woking, with a sister branch in Chertsey. In 2018, we moved into a purpose built hospital with four consult rooms, two theatres, dental and imaging suites, and separate dog and cat wards.

We see a great mix of well-insured clients who want the best for their pets, alongside rewarding charity work with the RSPCA and other organisations. The caseload is varied and allows for genuine clinical satisfaction and progression.

This is a full-time role, typically 40 hours per week across 4 days, with 1 in 4 Saturday mornings (08:00 to 14:00). Part-time applications are also welcomed.

Woking offers easy access to the Surrey Hills, RHS Garden Wisley, and fast transport links to London and the coast. Heathrow, Gatwick, the M3, and the M25 are all close by.

• Deliver high-quality clinical care with a strong focus on surgery
• Manage a varied and interesting caseload with clinical autonomy
• Support and mentor junior vets when required
• Maintain excellent clinical standards and compliance
• Contribute positively to the wider team culture and client experience

• A qualified Veterinary Surgeon with solid UK experience
• Strong surgical skills and confidence with more complex procedures
• A pragmatic, patient-focused clinician who enjoys working as part of a team
• Good communication skills with both clients and colleagues
• An interest in continued professional development and clinical excellence

• 6.6 weeks’ holiday, including bank holidays – plus your birthday off
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced family-friendly leave and pay
• 24/7 confidential Employee Assistance Programme

• £1,250 CPD allowance + 40 hours paid CPD
• Certificate and advanced learning support & Access to Vetlexicon online resources
• £1,250 annual Care Fund for every vet

• BVA membership
• VDS cover
• RCVS fees
• Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes (eligibility applies)
