If you are a vet who doesn't want to be in the same environment all week, but also wants a consistent rota, this split role between our Acton and Uxbridge branches could tick all those boxes.
About your new role!
Uxbridge is a suburban area of West London that has history dating back to medieval times. Although Goddard Uxbridge was not established quite that far back, it has been a firm fixture in the community for many years, and they are looking for an additional GP vet on Thursdays and Fridays to support their team, working alongside a senior vet, RVN team, and trainee nurses.
The practice itself is a generous size flooded with natural light, it has 3 consult rooms, and a large kennel and prep area leading into theatre.
There is plenty of on-site parking available which is a rare commodity for London sites!
In terms of location the practice is within a 15 minute walk of Uxbridge underground station on the Metropolitan line, which takes you to some of London’s best hot spots such as Kings Cross, beautiful Farringdon which has a plethora of independent bars and restaurants, and through to Liverpool Street where most other transport lines can be picked up. The Uxbridge area is an ideal location if you like the best of both, with plenty of green space to the west, then easy access into London to the east.
Now onto Acton! Acton is set in an old bank complete with original vault and is definitely a unique environment to work in, and they are looking for an additional vet on Mondays and Tuesdays.
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.

- The role includes a 1:3 branch Saturday in Acton and 1:8 Mandeville Hospital Sunday rotation
