Medivet New Cross is seeking an experienced Lead Veterinary Surgeon to join a busy, community-focused practice in one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. Supported by Medivet’s established network, you’ll have the autonomy to shape clinical standards, mentor a dedicated team, and influence the ongoing development of the practice.
