Experienced Veterinary Surgeon - Shape a Brand-New Practice

Up to £80,000 + £5,000 Welcome Bonus | No OOH | Full or Part-Time

Your experience deserves more than just another role — it deserves influence.

We’re looking for an Experienced Veterinary Surgeon to play a pivotal role in launching a brand-new, purpose-built Vets for Pets practice in East Grinstead.

This isn’t a “slot into the rota” position. It’s an opportunity to bring your clinical expertise, judgement, and ideas into a fresh setting where you’ll help define how the practice runs, feels, and grows. From day one, your voice will carry weight.

The Opportunity

You’ll be stepping into a modern, thoughtfully designed practice with the freedom to work to a high clinical standard — and the trust to do things properly.

• Digital & dental X-ray
• Ultrasound
• In-house laboratory
• Spacious theatre and modern consult rooms
• Well-designed, comfortable staff areas 

Everything is in place for you to focus on what you do best: delivering excellent care and helping build a strong, supportive team around you.

About You

This role is built for a vet who already knows their value:

• RCVS-registered with strong first-opinion experience
• Confident across both medicine and surgery
• Comfortable working independently and making sound clinical decisions
• Interested in shaping ways of working, not just following them
• Supportive of colleagues and naturally collaborative
• Committed to high standards of patient and client care 

Whether you’re looking to step up, or simply want more autonomy and input, this role gives you the platform to do it.

What You’ll Get

• Salary up to £80,000 DOE
• £5,000 welcome bonus or relocation support
• Generous, fully supported CPD (certificates encouraged)
• 5.6 weeks holiday, rising to 6.6 weeks
• Your birthday off
• Private health insurance
• Pension scheme
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
• Wellbeing and pastoral support
• Colleague discounts across Vets for Pets, Pets at Home & The Groom Room
• Access to exclusive rewards and benefits 

Why Join East Grinstead Vets for Pets?

New practices don’t come along often — and even fewer offer genuine clinical freedom and input from experienced vets.

If you’re ready for a role where you’re trusted, listened to, and able to make a real impact from the beginning, this is it.
