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
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.
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
