Ready for a fresh start in a thriving, independent practice that truly values its team?
I am working with a well-established, highly respected small animal veterinary practice based in the heart of vibrant Ashford, Kent – and they are looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly, forward-thinking team.
Why Join This Practice?
Independently Owned & Community-Focused
This isn't corporate. This is a family of veterinary professionals who care deeply about their patients, clients, and each other. With years of local trust and an outstanding reputation, you’ll be part of something truly meaningful.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Work with the very best. The clinic boasts a modern surgical suite with an oxygen condenser, multi-parameter monitoring, digital x-ray, K-Laser therapy, diathermy, full in-house lab (biochem, haematology, cytology, urinalysis), and large, comfortable kennels including isolation facilities.
Wide-Ranging Case Load
From acupuncture to orthopaedics and cardiology, you’ll enjoy the chance to get hands-on with a variety of cases in a supportive environment – and with certificate holders in small animal medicine and surgery on the team, there’s always someone to learn from or collaborate with.
