Location
Tonbridge, TN9
Closing Date:
14 September 2026, midday
Grow the role with you.
You didn’t get into this to hit targets or follow someone else’s script. Neither did we.
We’re truly independent and local to Kent only. We’re after a Senior Vet to lead clinically in our Tonbridge location (one off-hospital branch); someone who wants to set the bar, bring their own ideas and see them come to life. This isn’t your typical senior vet role; come with a plan and you will get a say in how the practice runs with a progression path to more.
The kit for keeping cases, fully supported
Dental X-ray (and we stage dentals!). Lap spay kit. Ultrasound. Digital cytology, in-house labs. Our own ambulance. And when a case needs more, our MRI/CT, overnight hospital and referral services are 20 minutes down the road. The majority of clients enjoy unlimited consults, this means you will have genuine case continuity and build relationships that last.
What you’ll bring
Clinical confidence, and the instinct to show others how confidence is gained
High standards you’re happy to communicate
Curiosity. We do like to explore new ways of doing things and value opinions.
An appetite to shape the business over time
What we offer
Salary: £50-65k, with a clear path to grow
Team spirit: Tonbridge is the location where many of our great success stories have started!
CPD: unlimited (with approval), certificate support
Leave: 6.6 weeks’ holiday a year.
Fees: RCVS VDS covered
Rota: 4 day week with protected admin time during the day
Out-of-hours: up to 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, no OOH
Tempted but not quite sure yet?
