At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely shape your job around what you enjoy most and thrive both professionally and personally? If so, Kingswood Vets could be the right fit for you.

This role is completely flexible and can be moulded around the right person. If you love variety, you can enjoy a balanced mix of medicine and surgery. If surgery is where you really thrive, the caseload can be tailored to be heavily surgery-focused, allowing you to make the role your own and practise in the way that suits you best.

Woking is a fantastic place to live and work. You will find plenty to enjoy locally, from scenic walks in the Surrey Hills and the RHS Garden Wisley, to golf courses, theatres, galleries and National Trust sites.

If you enjoy city life or coastal escapes, London Waterloo is just 30 minutes away by train, and the south coast is under an hour away. Heathrow, Gatwick, the M3 and the M25 are all within easy reach.

Practice Highlights

In 2018, we moved into a purpose-built hospital with excellent facilities, including
