For over 100 years, Straid Vets has been at the heart of the local community. Known for loyal clients, long-standing team members and a genuinely family-like atmosphere, we’re now looking for a confident and caring Veterinary Surgeon to join our close-knit team.

Everything You Need to Do Your Best Work

Our well-equipped practice includes three consult rooms, separate cat and dog wards, a prep and dental area with dental X-ray, a fully equipped theatre, ultrasound, dedicated X-ray room and an in-house lab. We also make space for you to unwind, with comfortable staff areas, a quiet admin office and the all-important weekly fruit and snacks alongside unlimited tea and coffee.

Varied Cases That Keep Things Interesting

You’ll enjoy a balanced mix of consults and surgery, treating cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, with the occasional exotic patient too. Alongside routine procedures, we carry out orthopaedic and advanced soft tissue surgery, with plenty of opportunity to develop a special interest or use existing certificate skills.

Clinical Freedom with Real Support

We encourage autonomy, innovation and professional growth. Whether you want to expand services or pursue further qualifications, you’ll be fully supported through regular team discussions, shared learning and collaboration with other IVC practices and certificate holders.

A Small Team with a Big Heart

Our friendly team of vets, nurses, animal care assistants and receptionists work closely together, with RVNs actively involved in nurse consults and procedures. We also take pride in supporting local charities, including Alley Cat Rescue and Cats Protection, because caring extends beyond the clinic walls.

Flexible Working That Fits Around You

We’re open to 4 or 5-day working patterns, with a mix of early and late shifts to keep things fair and flexible. There’s a 1 in 3 Saturday morning rota, no out-of-hours work, and flexibility to swap shifts when needed. You’ll work across the Beaconsfield area.

Why High Wycombe?

Set in the beautiful Chiltern Hills, High Wycombe offers countryside living with excellent city connections. With great shops, cafés and direct trains to London in under 30 minutes, it’s an ideal place to live, work and unwind.
