Veterinary Surgeon - Dental & First Opinion Practice
South East London, England
Salary: Competitive DOE + Excellent Benefits
Are you a Veterinary Surgeon with a passion for dentistry and high-quality first opinion practice? Looking for a role where you can develop your dental skills whilst enjoying a varied caseload, a supportive team, and excellent clinical facilities?
We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join a thriving small animal practice in South East London, England. This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a well-established, busy first-opinion clinic that combines a strong preventative healthcare focus with an interesting and rewarding medical, surgical, and dental caseload.
Why This Role Stands Out
This modern, well-equipped practice features three spacious consulting rooms and a dedicated dental suite complete with dental radiography, allowing the team to provide a high standard of preventative, diagnostic, and surgical dental care.
Dentistry forms an important part of the practice's clinical offering, making this an excellent opportunity for a vet with a particular interest in dental procedures, oral health, and client education. Whether you already have advanced dental experience or are looking to further develop your skills in this area, you'll be supported by a team that values clinical progression and continuous learning.
Alongside the dental caseload, you'll enjoy the variety and challenge that comes with a busy first-opinion environment, managing a broad spectrum of medical and surgical cases while building long-term relationships with clients and their pets.
The Practice
You'll be joining a welcoming and collaborative team consisting of:
- 4 Registered Veterinary Nurses
- Student Veterinary Nurse
- Veterinary Care Assistant
- Experienced Client Care and Reception Team
The team prides itself on delivering exceptional patient care while maintaining a supportive and positive working culture. Collaboration is at the heart of everything they do, with vets and nurses working closely together to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
The practice also benefits from the support of a nearby hospital, providing access to additional expertise, advanced diagnostics, and enhanced clinical resources when required.
The Role
This is a full-time permanent position offering a varied mix of consultations, surgery, diagnostics, preventative healthcare, and dentistry.
Responsibilities include:
- Delivering exceptional clinical care to patients
- Managing a varied first-opinion medical and surgical caseload
- Performing routine and advanced dental procedures
- Utilising dental radiography to support diagnosis and treatment planning
- Developing tailored treatment plans and discussing options with clients
- Promoting preventative healthcare and oral health education
- Collaborating closely with nurses and support staff
- Maintaining high clinical and regulatory standards
- Contributing to the development of clinical excellence within the team
There is a 1 in 6 weekend rota at a nearby hospital site, providing additional clinical exposure and support.
About You
We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who:
- Is MRCVS registered
- Has previous small animal practice experience
- Enjoys both consulting and surgical work
- Has a keen interest in veterinary dentistry and oral health
- Values high clinical standards and evidence-based medicine
- Enjoys building strong client relationships
- Thrives within a collaborative team environment
- Is committed to ongoing professional development
Professional Development
Clinical growth is actively encouraged, with support available for vets looking to expand their expertise in dentistry or other areas of interest.
Benefits include:
- £1,500 CPD allowance
- 3 days paid CPD leave annually
- Certificate support and funding available
- Access to internal clinical communities and mentoring
- Career progression opportunities
- Exposure to advanced hospital facilities and specialist support
Benefits
- Salary DOE up to £70,000
- Private Medical Insurance
- Life Insurance
- 5 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays
- RCVS, VDS and BVA fees paid
- Relocation support available
- Visa sponsorship available
- Sabbatical opportunities based on length of service
This is an excellent opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon seeking a role that offers genuine clinical variety, strong dental exposure, a supportive team culture, and clear opportunities for professional development within a busy and well-established first-opinion practice.
