Looking for a role where you can develop your skills, explore your clinical interests and be part of a genuinely supportive team?

At Farnborough Vets for Pets, we have two exciting opportunities available for experienced Veterinary Surgeons:

• Permanent position - 40 hours per week

Whichever opportunity suits you, you’ll be joining a busy, growing and well-equipped practice where teamwork, development and work-life balance really matter.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a friendly, sociable and inclusive team who genuinely enjoy working together and supporting one another. We’re proud to be part of our local community and passionate about delivering the highest standards of care to our patients.

And, of course, there’s Marley, our practice cat, who very much considers himself an important member of the team!

We offer a varied caseload with plenty of opportunity to develop your clinical skills and explore your interests.

Our facilities include:

• Brand-new digital X-ray
• Ultrasound
• Dental X-ray

We’re also continuing to invest in the practice, with plans to expand and double our floor space next year, creating an even better environment for our colleagues and patients.

The Roles

Both opportunities are 40 hours per week, offering:

• 1 in 6 weekends
• Saturday 9am to 5pm
• Sunday 10am to 4pm

We’re looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon, ideally with at least 5 years’ experience, who enjoys a varied caseload and working collaboratively within a supportive team.

There’s also plenty of scope to develop your clinical interests, including the opportunity to explore or build experience in exotics.

Most importantly, we’d love someone who wants to play an active part in the continued growth and development of the practice.
