Are you looking for a new challenge? We are looking for a new vet to join our fabulous team at our Chalfont and Beaconsfield surgeries!
We love to work hard but also to enjoy ourselves whilst doing it. Teamwork is at the heart of what we do, and you will be working with a team of vets, veterinary nurses, student veterinary nurses, client care representatives and a support team, who strive to provide the best service to our clients and their pets. We have a wealth of experience across our vet team, and actively encourage certificates. Many of our vets have or are working toward certification including internal medicine, feline medicine, surgery, cardiology, dermatology and ophthalmology. We also encourage further training amongst our nurses, with certificates in anaesthesia, exotics, physio and ECC.

You would be working a four-day week with a Saturday rota included. We would also offer a generous relocation allowance if you were looking to move to the local area.

Wonderful Wheelhouse


We are a first-opinion small animal practice situated in the picturesque countryside of the Chilterns, perfect for horse riding, cycling, and walking (and with great pubs!). We are surrounded by golf clubs and country parks such as Wendover Woods, Black Park, and Langley Park, all within easy commute of London.
Wheelhouse Vets are a fully equipped and modernised RCVS accredited practice striving to achieve the highest standard of care in South Buckinghamshire. We have surgeries in Chalfont St Giles, Beaconsfield, Chesham and Amersham.
We are very well outfitted with endoscope, laparoscopic bitch spays, ultrasound scanner, DR and CR Radiography, Class 4 Laser, and 4 consultation rooms. 

The Wheelhouse has been established for over 60 years and strongly emphasises clinical excellence and team engagement. With 4 branches and a total of 42 clinical team members (16 Vets and 24 Nurses), we are a team who support each other and can deal with most of the clinical work that walks (or is carried) through the door.
As a practice, we actively support several different charities both locally and nationally each year including StreetVet, Hearing Dogs, Marjorie Nash Cat Rescue, and Macmillan Cancer Support.
We also have monthly 1-2-1 catch-ups with our teams and other regular meetings such as practice Zoom meetings, vet’s meetings, and clinical club.
