£75k - £90k per annumHead Veterinary Surgeon – Brand New Practice, Lead from Day One – West London – From £75,000 DOE
An exceptional opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to take full clinical ownership of a brand new, purpose-built practice — and build something truly great from the ground up.
About the Practice
This exciting new surgery is opening in the West London area, part of a nationwide independent, family-owned veterinary group with a clear mission: to help pets live long, happy and healthy lives with the people who love them.
The practice has been purpose-built with both patients and the team firmly in mind — modern, calm, and equipped with the latest technology. It's a genuinely exciting opportunity to step into a leadership role where the culture, clinical standards, and team identity are yours to shape from day one.
This is the same new surgery featured in our recent Veterinary Surgeon advert — meaning the Head Vet will be joining alongside two experienced GP Vets who are equally invested in building something special together.

This is a full-time, hands-on leadership position working 4 days per week across 9-hour shifts, averaging 39 hours per week. The weekend rota is 1 in 4, with dedicated admin time built into every shift.
As Head Vet, you'll be responsible for:
- Leading and inspiring the clinical team
- Setting and upholding high standards of clinical governance
- Delivering outstanding first-opinion medicine and surgery
- Supporting and developing your colleagues
- Building strong relationships with clients and the local community
- Playing a central role in shaping the culture and direction of the practice
What They're Looking For
They are looking for a confident, experienced Veterinary Surgeon with strong all-round GP experience and a genuine passion for leadership and mentorship. The ideal candidate will be someone who communicates clearly, builds trust naturally, and is excited by the prospect of taking real ownership of a practice and making it their own.
What They Can Offer You
✅ Salary from £75,000 DOE
✅ 4-day working week with dedicated admin time every shift
✅ 1 in 4 weekends
✅ 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
✅ Quarterly recognition payments
✅ CPD allowance with funded memberships and internal leadership training
✅ Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
✅ Income protection and electric car scheme
✅ Help at Hand wellbeing support and compassionate leave
