Veterinary Surgeon / Senior Veterinary Surgeon

Surrey | £50,000–£70,000 DOE | Full or Part-Time | Visa Support Available

Surgical interests? Looking for more clinical support? Ready to take the next step in your veterinary career?

GVC are assisting a friendly, well-established veterinary group in Surrey with an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon or Senior Veterinary Surgeon, depending on experience.

With the opportunity to work across two closely connected clinics, just 15 minutes apart, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for clinical variety, further development and a genuinely supportive working environment.

Whether you’re a GP Veterinary Surgeon looking to develop your surgical skills or a more experienced vet ready for a senior position, there’s flexibility to shape the role around you.

A role with surgery at its heart

This opportunity would particularly suit a vet with a surgical bias, who enjoys getting hands-on with cases but is equally happy managing a varied first-opinion consult caseload.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your surgical interests within the clinics, with additional clinical support available through the group’s nearby referral hospital.

For those interested in orthopaedics and more advanced soft tissue procedures, there is access to experienced surgical colleagues, providing valuable opportunities for collaboration, mentorship and further development.

Two clinics, one supportive team

You’ll have the opportunity to work across two local clinics, offering variety while remaining part of a close-knit veterinary team.

You’ll benefit from:

• A varied first-opinion caseload across both clinics

• The opportunity to build and develop your own surgical interests

• Access to experienced vets for clinical support and case discussions

• Surgical mentorship and support with orthopaedic and soft tissue procedures at the nearby hospital

• Regular development conversations and structured progression

• Support with further qualifications and clinical interests

• Opportunities to develop into a more senior clinical position

Flexible opportunities to suit your experience

There are opportunities for different levels of experience, with salary and responsibilities reflecting the successful candidate.

• Veterinary Surgeon: £50,000+ DOE – ideal for a GP vet looking to join a supportive team, enjoy a varied caseload and develop their clinical interests.

• Senior Veterinary Surgeon: Up to £70,000 DOE – suited to a more experienced vet with a surgical bias, looking for greater clinical responsibility and the opportunity to help support the wider team.
