This is a well-established, proudly independent small animal practice in South London with deep roots in the local community and a team that genuinely cares about the people and pets it serves. Under new management and entering an exciting period of growth, they are now looking for a vet to join and be part of what comes next.

The practice has the feel and values that only a true independent can offer — close-knit, collaborative and community-focused, with none of the corporate pressure that can make clinical work feel like a production line. It holds VetGDP accreditation, reflecting a genuine commitment to clinical development and standards.

The facilities are strong — full in-house Idexx laboratory, laparoscopy, advanced ultrasound and new dental radiography equipment. Dedicated surgical days are built into the rota alongside a mix of early finishes and late starts, giving real flexibility within the working week. Excellent transport links and a characterful South London location.

What you will do
You will be working across a varied small animal caseload, carrying out consultations and surgery, building strong and lasting relationships with a loyal local client base and contributing to a practice that genuinely values the bond between pets and their owners. You will be supported by an experienced team throughout.

Full or part time available — working pattern open to discussion.

What you will gain
£55,000 to £72,000 depending on experience. RCVS and BVA fees fully funded. CPD allowance of £2,000 per year. Dedicated surgical days. Mix of early finishes and late starts. An independent practice where your contribution genuinely matters and your voice is heard.

What they need from you
A compassionate vet with strong clinical skills, excellent communication and a genuine love of building client relationships. Someone who thrives in a small, supportive team and is energised by being part of a growing independent practice.
