Veterinary Surgeon – Fridays in Islington! London

It’s a place where clients know their vet by name, and where continuity of care truly matters. Now, they looking for a confident and compassionate veterinary surgeon to join up one day a week — every Friday — to help maintain that connection.
This is a first-opinion GP role, ideal for someone who enjoys the rhythm of consults, minor surgeries, and the occasional triage of emergencies. You’ll be working sole charge, so confidence and comfort in your clinical decision-making are key. But you won’t be alone — the regional manager and head vet are always on hand to offer support, and they have a nearby Hospital available for complex cases and out-of-hours care.
Your weekly schedule will include Fridays from 9am to 7pm, with a 1-in-4 Saturday rotation at a branch and a 1-in-8 Sunday shift at the Hospital. You’ll also be scheduled for up to two bank holidays per year. If you’re looking to expand your hours, we’d be happy to explore adding Mondays and Tuesdays at our close by practice — a non–sole charge setting with a collaborative team.
This is a small but mighty practice, known for its loyal client base and warm, community feel. It’s the kind of place where relationships matter and where your presence, even just once a week, can make a real difference.
The salary for this 13-hour-per-week sole charge role ranges from £19,000 to £24,375, depending on experience, with room to grow. That’s equivalent to £57,000 to £73,000 FTE. you’ll also enjoy a generous benefits package, including 6.6 weeks of annual leave (pro rata), private medical insurance with Bupa, up to £2,000 CPD budget per year, five days’ paid CPD leave (pro rata), and relocation assistance if applicable.
