Croft Vets are looking for a confident, experienced and dynamic Veterinary Surgeon to join them on a permanent basis. The role offers a variety of medical and surgical cases, mostly in dogs, cats and small mammals with the occasional exotic, to keep you busy while allowing you to explore or develop your main areas of interest.

About us

Our ample reception leads to separated dog and cat waiting areas, four consult rooms (one of them is reserved for nurse consults), a prep area, surgical theatre and separate dentistry room. Our facilities provide ultrasound, dental X-ray, in house laboratory, laparoscopy and endoscopy equipment. Our structure allows for 15 min consults and dedicated surgical days. Work/ life balance is important to us. There are no OOH, Sundays or Bank Holidays. The team is made up of 3 vets with cert holders in medicine and dentistry, 5 support staff, 3 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 1 ACA.

Here's what our vets have to say

‘We have a lovely supportive team at Croft's and we're looking for a new team member to join us to replace a much-valued colleague. As a team we really enjoy discussing cases and problem solving together. We have a lovely space to work in with excellent equipment and (perhaps most importantly right now!) air conditioning throughout the building!’

‘I have been a veterinary surgeon at Croft Veterinary centre for 8 years now. Part of this is due to the team I really enjoy working with, but also due to the freedom to openly discuss cases with my colleagues, supporting and learning from each other. The balance of consulting and surgery, personally suits me and I found great support furthering my career when I decided to study a certificate.’
