Are you seeking a fulfilling role where clinical excellence, collaboration, and team well-being go hand in hand? Medivet Esher is looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, close-knit team and contribute to our continued success.
Our multi-vet practice is led by an experienced and compassionate Branch Partner who champions a culture of support and balance — ensuring the team thrives both professionally and personally. You’ll be working alongside a skilled and enthusiastic group, including three Registered Veterinary Nurses, two Veterinary Care Assistants (one soon to begin her nursing training), and a dedicated Client Care Assistant — all unified by a shared commitment to outstanding patient care.
At Esher, we take genuine pride in the relationships we build with our clients, who are highly engaged and committed to their pets' health. This connection allows us to work cases up thoroughly, especially within dentistry, where we have developed particular expertise and manage a rewarding and diverse caseload.
Our spacious, purpose-built practice includes:
Three dedicated consultation rooms
Separate dog and cat wards
A defined prep area supporting a well-equipped theatre
A welcoming staff room for breaks and collaboration
And an exciting full refurbishment scheduled for early 2025, further enhancing the quality of our clinical space
This role offers excellent work-life balance, with a three-day working week, supported by a fair rota that includes 1:3 weekends at Esher and 1:6 weekends at our nearby 24-hour Richmond Hospital. You’ll also participate in a limited number of Bank Holidays, ERS days, and on-call blocks, which are carefully planned and shared across the region. If more hours are desired, or a full-time role is what you are looking for, this can also be discussed with a share in the rota of another nearby practice to accommodate!
Whether you're looking to focus on a specific clinical interest or continue growing as a well-rounded GP, you’ll find a supportive and nurturing environment at Medivet Esher — where collaboration, clinical freedom, and team spirit are always top priority.
