Experienced Veterinary Surgeon – Flexible Part-Time Role

Salary: Up to £65,000 (Pro Rata)
Hours: 20–30 per week (Friday, Saturday + 1 flexible weekday)

We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, supportive team at Vets for Pets Staines in a flexible part-time role.

If you’re confident in your clinical ability, enjoy a varied but largely routine caseload, and want to be part of a genuinely close-knit team that values both professionalism and people, this could be a great fit.

About Us

We’re a small but experienced and highly supportive team of seven, made up of:

  • 1 Veterinary Surgeon
  • 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses
  • 1 Student Nurse
  • 3 Receptionists (including our Practice Manager/JVP, who is also an RVN)

Between us, we bring over 30 years of combined experience, and we take real pride in maintaining a friendly, collaborative, and supportive working environment.

We place strong emphasis on wellbeing and support within the team, with access to:

  • Mental Health First Aider
  • Clinical Supervisor
  • Physical & Mental Health support
  • Trained First Aiders

Our caseload is primarily routine consultations and preventative care, with the occasional more complex case to keep things varied and engaging.

Our practice is modern and well-equipped, including:

  • In-house laboratory
  • Digital X-ray & dental X-ray
  • Dedicated dental suite & theatre
  • Ultrasound
  • Tonometry pen
  • Glass kennels

The Role

We’re looking for a confident, experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is comfortable working independently and managing sole charge when required.

This is a part-time role covering:

  • Fridays (9am–7pm)
  • Saturdays (9am–5pm)
  • One additional flexible weekday

Total: 20–30 hours per week

You’ll have the autonomy to work cases up appropriately, while being fully supported by a welcoming and experienced team.

About You

We’re ideally looking for a vet who:

  • Has solid experience in first-opinion practice
  • Is confident with routine consultations and procedures
  • Is comfortable with sole charge
  • Enjoys working both independently and as part of a close team
  • Values strong client relationships and continuity of care
  • Brings a calm, confident, and professional approach

Why Join Us?
At Vets for Pets Staines, you’ll find a genuinely supportive environment where experience is valued, teamwork is strong, and flexibility is respected

If you’re an experienced vet looking for a part-time role where you can maintain clinical independence while being part of a friendly, well-established team, we’d love to hear from you.

By putting pets before profit, working as a team and taking pride in everything we do, we’ve grown into a 451 store network with more than 8,913 colleagues working in our Stores, Grooming Salons, Distribution Centres and Support Office.

We are the UK’s leading pet specialist, providing pet owners with all their product needs, as well as our Vets for Pets practices and Grooming salons. We support our colleagues to work with pride and passion, to bring honesty and integrity to work every day, and to do it all with a sense of fun and fearlessness. We never shy away from having the important conversations and doing what we say we’ll do.

Our values and behaviours are practiced daily across the business and are what really makes us an enjoyable, exciting place to work. We're always striving to develop and reward our colleagues with an extensive in-house series of training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and a comprehensive benefits package.
