Veterinary Surgeon – Medicine/Imaging/Cardiology

About the Role

This is a clinical position designed for a vet who wants to develop real expertise in internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, or cardiology. You’ll work four days per week with Fridays off as standard, giving you genuine work-life balance alongside a Saturday rota (either 1 in 3 or 1 in 6 full weekends, depending on your preference). The practice actively supports you to deepen your clinical niche—whether that’s through certificate study, case selection, or collaborative learning within Medivet’s broader clinical network.

Based in Canonbury, North London, you’ll be joining a well-established practice with a growing, loyal client base and an increasingly complex caseload.
