Veterinary Surgeon – Small Animal

About the Role

You’ll be joining Kingswood Vets, a well-established practice that genuinely believes in flexibility and work-life balance. This is a completely customisable role where you can shape the position around what you enjoy most—whether that’s a balanced mix of medicine and surgery, or a heavily surgery-focused caseload. A typical full-time role is 40 hours per week across four days, with one in four Saturdays from 8am to 2pm, though both full-time and part-time arrangements are welcome.

The practice sits in the heart of Woking, a fantastic location with easy access to Surrey Hills walks, RHS Garden Wisley, and London Waterloo (just 30 minutes by train). You’ll work with a mix of well-insured clients who want the very best for their pets, alongside rewarding charity work with the RSPCA and other organisations.
