Veterinary Surgeon

About the Role

Farnham Vets for Pets has recently changed ownership and is now building something exciting. The new owners bring 15 and 14 years of experience respectively, with strong interests in regenerative medicine, chronic pain management, physiotherapy, and business development. This is your chance to join a practice shaping its own future, with a manageable 1:4 Saturday rota and no Sunday work required.

You’ll work with a collaborative team of four experienced vets in a purpose-built facility designed for high clinical standards. The practice manages the majority of cases in-house—including advanced procedures like stem cell therapy and PRP injections—and is supported by visiting specialists in orthopaedics, cardiology, and ophthalmology. Whether you’re interested in surgery, medicine, diagnostics, or complex cases, there’s room to develop your own clinical interests here.

The retail park location offers free parking and easy main road access, with new amenities nearby including Marks & Spencer.
