Veterinary Surgeon
6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
St Albans, Hertfordshire | Up to £70,000 DOE | Excellent London Links
Looking for a role that gives you stability now, while keeping your future plans flexible?
This fantastic 6-month fixed-term opportunity is perfect for a vet wanting to settle into a supportive practice, enjoy a great work-life balance, and make the most of living within easy reach of London before potentially travelling, relocating, or deciding on a longer-term move.
GVC is supporting a well-established small animal practice in the beautiful city of St Albans, seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly team on a 6-month contract, with potential for extension for the right person.
Whether you’re planning a big move later in the year, looking to experience life just outside London for the summer months, or simply wanting the reassurance of a secure contract without immediately committing long term, this role offers the perfect balance.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Secure 6-month contract with guaranteed stability
- Potential opportunity to extend longer term
- Fantastic option for vets planning future travel or relocation
- Excellent transport links into London
- Sole charge role with genuine clinical autonomy
- Loyal client base and varied medical and surgical caseload
- Opportunity to build strong client relationships and continuity of care
- Support from a wider, experienced veterinary network
The Practice
Based in the heart of vibrant St Albans, this busy small animal practice has a strong community feel and an established client base.
You’ll step into a varied caseload from day one, making it ideal for a confident vet who enjoys autonomy, continuity of care, and the chance to really settle into a team for the duration of the contract.
