Ready to practise medicine on your own terms? Pennard Vets is a values-led, employee-owned practice where autonomy, client relationships, and life balance aren't afterthoughts.
This is a first-opinion small animal role built around variety, continuity, and trust. You'll see a diverse caseload while building lasting relationships with clients who come back to see you. The practice operates a 4-day working week with protected admin time, or you can opt for full Saturday work, part-time arrangements, or alternative patterns that suit your life.
You'll have access to modern facilities including ultrasound, dental X-rays, and laparoscopic spay kits, plus the support of an on-site OOH and hybrid referral hospital a short drive away. The leadership team actively backs professional development, including certificate and special-interest training. This is an all-rounder's role, ideal if you enjoy autonomy within a supportive environment.
Pennard Vets is an employee-owned, independent small animal practice in Tonbridge, Kent. The team is committed to moving away from high-volume conveyor-belt models of care towards a more sustainable, human-centred approach. They emphasise clear communication, unhurried consultations, and building genuine client relationships alongside clinical excellence.
The practice benefits from its own OOH and hybrid referral hospital nearby, modern diagnostic and surgical equipment, and a leadership culture that welcomes ideas, curiosity, and professional development.
