We are looking for an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon with confidence in general medicine and surgery to join our welcoming, single-site practice. This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet who enjoys true general practice and values building long-term client relationships.

At Eaton Vets, we are proud of our excellent local reputation and our ethos of treating every patient as if they were our own pet. We are seeking someone who shares this compassionate, client-focused approach to join our supportive team.

About Us


Located in a beautiful village setting on the edge of Norwich, our purpose-built surgery offers an excellent working environment. The practice features a large reception area with four consulting rooms, a dedicated theatre, and a separate diagnostics room equipped with digital radiography, dental x-ray and ultrasound. There is also a spacious prep room with its own dental area, and a cattery that can be easily viewed from prep to support patient monitoring. The kennels and isolation suite are conveniently located nearby.

We are fortunate to have a loyal, long-standing client base, with many families trusting us through generations of pets. Norwich is a vibrant and historic city with excellent access to the Norfolk countryside and coastline, offering a great work-life balance.
