We are seeking a Lead Veterinary Surgeon to join our well-established practice, Beech House, in Bitterne.

Find a place to excel

Beech House is a busy small animal practice with 6 consult rooms, a large theatre, a fully equipped lab, an isolation area and a separate dog/cat ward.

Piped Isoflo anaesthesia, Digital x-ray, Ultrasound machine, ECG (both in-house & access to external reading & interpreting), Air-driven dental station, Laboratory capable of full biochemistry & haematology

Vets Now Southampton is based in our practice and our Vets can hand over cases directly to the out-of-hours team rather than transferring like other local practices.

 Beech House is a very short distance from New Forest National Park, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Winchester. The surgery is easily accessible via bus and train with stations for both in Bitterne. 

Work-life balance that works for you

You will enjoy a 40-hour week over 4 days with 1 in 4 Saturday mornings. We are flexible and welcoming to a candidate wanting to discuss the possibility of a 20-hour+ per week working pattern to fit their needs as well as the practice needs. No OOH as we have Vets Now on site.
