[vc_row][vc_column width="3/4"][vc_column_text]

Salary £50k – £65k per annum Contract Permanent Working hours 40 hours per week, including a rota of Saturdays. Location Tonbridge, TN10 Closing Date: 4 November 2026, midday

Grow the role with you.

You didn’t get into this to hit targets or follow someone else’s script. Neither did we.

We’re truly independent and local to Kent only. We’re after a Senior Vet to lead clinically in our Tonbridge location (one off-hospital branch); someone who wants to set the bar, bring their own ideas and see them come to life. This isn’t your typical senior vet role; come with a plan and you will get a say in how the practice runs with a progression path to more.

The kit for keeping cases, fully supported

Dental X-ray (and we stage dentals!). Lap spay kit. Ultrasound. Digital cytology, in-house labs. Our own ambulance. And when a case needs more, our MRI/CT, overnight hospital and referral services are 20 minutes down the road. The majority of clients enjoy unlimited consults, this means you will have genuine case continuity and build relationships that last.

What You’ll Bring

• Clinical confidence, and the instinct to show others how confidence is gained
• High standards you’re happy to communicate
• Curiosity. We do like to explore new ways of doing things and value opinions.
• An appetite to shape the business over time

What We Offer

• Salary: £50-65k, with a clear path to grow
• Team spirit: Tonbridge is the location where many of our great success stories have started!
• CPD: unlimited (with approval), certificate support
• Leave: 6.6 weeks’ holiday a year.
• Fees: RCVS + VDS covered
• Rota: 4 day week with protected admin time during the day, and Saturday morning rota
• OOH: no out of hours work
