Your experience deserves more than just another role — it deserves influence.
We’re looking for an Experienced Veterinary Surgeon to play a pivotal role in launching a brand-new, purpose-built Vets for Pets practice in East Grinstead.
This isn’t a “slot into the rota” position. It’s an opportunity to bring your clinical expertise, judgement, and ideas into a fresh setting where you’ll help define how the practice runs, feels, and grows. From day one, your voice will carry weight.
The Opportunity
You’ll be stepping into a modern, thoughtfully designed practice with the freedom to work to a high clinical standard — and the trust to do things properly.
- Digital & dental X-ray
- Ultrasound
- In-house laboratory
- Spacious theatre and modern consult rooms
- Well-designed, comfortable staff areas
Everything is in place for you to focus on what you do best: delivering excellent care and helping build a strong, supportive team around you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Confident across both medicine and surgery
- Comfortable working independently and making sound clinical decisions

- Committed to high standards of patient and client care
Whether you’re looking to step up, or simply want more autonomy and input, this role gives you the platform to do it.
What You’ll Get
- Salary up to £80,000 DOE
- £5,000 welcome bonus or relocation support
- Generous, fully supported CPD (certificates encouraged)
- 5.6 weeks holiday, rising to 6.6 weeks
