At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Crossroads Veterinary Practice is a thriving three-site small animal practice serving High Wycombe, Hazlemere and Watlington. We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys variety, autonomy and strong clinical backing. Your time will be split mainly between High Wycombe and your nearest branch, with occasional cover across all sites. Branch work is sole charge, with a supportive wider team always just a phone call away.

High Wycombe is a vibrant market town offering countryside charm alongside excellent transport links to London, Oxford and the Chilterns. With great shops, restaurants, green spaces and scenic walks nearby, it’s an ideal location for those wanting balance, connectivity and quality of life.

About Us

• You’ll manage a varied caseload including cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with a slight consult bias. Surgical duties include routine procedures, a broad range of first-opinion work and occasional ECC cases. Vets with an interest or certificate in orthopaedics will find real scope to grow their caseload, while our in-house capabilities allow thorough case work-ups and excellent continuity of care.
• Access to digital and dental X-ray, abdominal and cardiac ultrasound, endoscopy, rhinoscopy, IDEXX lab machines, TONO-Pen, EPOC, coagulation testing, and Vets Now equipment when needed, everything required to deliver high-quality clinical care.
• Our main High Wycombe site is a spacious, modern practice with separate cat and dog waiting areas, four consult rooms, a large dispensary, three prep areas, a theatre with two operating tables, ultrasound suite, IDEXX lab, office space for case work-ups, and excellent staff facilities including a wellbeing room and kitchen.
• Team of 8 vets, 7 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 2 PCAs, supported by an experienced reception, admin and management team. With certificate holders in Surgery and Veterinary Business Management, a strong mentoring culture and support for further qualifications, this is a collaborative and encouraging environment.

How You’ll Make a Difference

As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.

You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.

This is a full-time 40-hour role over four days, with start times of 8–8:30am and finishes between 6–7pm. Part-time applications are welcome. Weekends are shared fairly on a 3:7 rota (pro-rata for part-time), and as a Vets Now host practice there is no OOH or on-call, supporting a healthy work-life balance.
