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.
For more than 100 years, Kingston Vets has been caring for pets and supporting owners across the local community. As part of Inspiring Vet Care, we're proud of the reputation we've built and continue to look ahead, combining our long-standing values with a forward-thinking approach to veterinary care.
We're now looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and experienced team, where you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a varied caseload, develop your clinical interests and make a real difference to the pets and people we care for.
You'll see a lovely mix of cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with a real emphasis on continuity of care and seeing your cases through to the highest possible standard. There's a great balance of consultations and surgery, with plenty of routine procedures alongside orthopaedics, dentistry and a range of interesting cases to keep your days varied and rewarding.
You'll work across our two purpose-built practices in Yeovil and Sherborne, both equipped with excellent facilities to support you in delivering outstanding patient care. These include dedicated dental suites with dental X-ray, digital radiography, ultrasound and laparoscopic equipment, as well as separate cat and dog wards and isolation facilities.
We're also proud to hold Silver ISFM status, reflecting our commitment to creating a genuinely feline-friendly environment for our patients.
You'll be joining a welcoming and experienced team of six vets, six RVNs and two SVNs, supported by a dedicated Client Care Team. We also benefit from a visiting orthopaedic specialist, providing additional support with more complex cases and opportunities to share knowledge and develop your skills.
Your development matters to us. Whether you'd like to build confidence in a particular area of clinical practice, explore a new interest or work towards a certificate, we'll support you in shaping a career that feels right for you.
Ideally, we're looking for a full-time vet working 40 hours across four days, with just 1:3 Saturday mornings (8:30am–12:30pm), which will be sole charge.
There are no out-of-hours or on-call requirements, and we're very happy to consider part-time applications too. We want to find the right person for our team and are open to discussing a working pattern that suits you.
With beautiful countryside, historic market towns and plenty of opportunities to get outdoors, the area offers a lovely balance between rural living and everyday convenience. Sherborne brings character, independent shops and stunning historic surroundings, while Yeovil offers great amenities and transport links.
