An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join a well-established small animal primary care practice in leafy northwest London. With four closely located sites, including two main practices and two smaller branches, this group has been a trusted name in the community for over 40 years.

This is a fantastic chance to become part of a supportive and friendly team that prioritises both clinical excellence and a positive client experience. The practice is accredited under the Practice Standards Scheme and serves as a training practice for Veterinary Nurses. With a 100% small animal caseload and a high proportion of insured clients, you will have the opportunity to work in a high-end first-opinion setting, alongside an experienced team of veterinary professionals.
