I run a veterinary practice.
Technically.

But let’s be honest… I’m a cat.
So I actually run the place.

I live here. I supervise everything.

We’re looking for a vet.
An experienced one. Someone who can support and mentor Holly, our new graduate, as she works through her GDP.

But more importantly…
I’m looking for the right human.

(open to part-time split or term-time contracts)
Salary from £65k+ depending on experience
1 in 4 weekends
No out-of-hours

How we actually work:

We don’t rush.

Appointments are 15 minutes as standard, but if you need longer, you take longer.

Lunch is protected. Properly.
We close the practice for an hour. No clients. No routine calls.
We walk, eat together, and reset before the afternoon.

We also see a range of exotics.
Snakes live in the practice.

________________________________________

The culture (read this properly):

We’re a team in the real sense of the word.

We’re supportive, honest, sometimes loud, and we look out for each other.

We don’t do:

hierarchy
egos
corporate-style pressure
targets

We’re proudly inclusive and value diversity across the team.
We’re working towards our autism-friendly award and are genuinely supportive of neurodivergent team members.

We recognise that people work in different ways and actively support that.

If you want somewhere you can do your job properly, be yourself, and enjoy the people you work with, it might be exactly right.
________________________________________

Outside of work:

We believe in work to live, not live to work.

Holidays are supported, not restricted
The team covers each other
Burnout isn’t normalised

Some of us play netball together, many enjoy fitness and the outdoors, and we’re right on the edge of the Peak District.

Dogs are welcome at work.

Dacre House is an independent, established clinic with an excellent reputation, serving the local community for 40 years. We strive to provide a high standard of veterinary care whilst remaining affordable and approachable.

We are a busy first opinion practice, well-equipped with laparoscopy, ultrasonography, up-to-date lab, digital radiography and caring, competent staff. Our main clinic has two consulting rooms and two operating theatres. We also have a branch clinic which we currently only use for consults but we have just built brand new operating facilities which we hope to have up and running soon.

The successful candidate will be joining a really friendly and experienced team. Our 11 vets range from recent graduate to 30 years qualified with a low staff turnover. We have an internal medicine certificate-holder and another our of team is about to complete her certificate in feline medicine. We have 3 qualified RVNs and 2 student VNs. Our nursing team is confident and well-trained, providing brilliant practical support but also encouragement and humour. Our reception and admin staff are, again, experienced, professional and fun to work with.

We are looking for an enthusiastic vet with a minimum of 1 year's UK experience. This is a full-time permanent position. There's no on-call work as we use Vets Now (5 minutes away) for our out-of-hours provision but we do care for our own inpatients (where appropriate), so applicants need to be prepared to participate in our inpatient care rota - one weeknight late check (around 11pm) each week and one weekend inpatient checks (between 8am and 11pm) in every 5 weekends.

The clinic sees a broad range of presentations and we enjoy discussing our caseload, sharing ideas and working through the trickier cases together. We actively encourage CPD and support our staff in pursuing certificates and developing their own interests. We are a nurse training practice and we also regularly host EMS
students, some of whom have gone on to work for us.

Tunbridge Wells is a popular town, surrounded by countryside, with lots to do. We are a short walk from a mainline train station, within easy reach of Gatwick airport and the coast.

Ready to thrive in a practice where people and pets truly matter?

We’re growing our friendly, forward-thinking team at Sittingbourne Vets for Pets – and we’d love you to be part of it.

We’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate Veterinary Surgeon who shares our values of kindness, respect, and putting pets and their people first. This is more than a job – it’s an opportunity to feel valued, supported, and part of a team that genuinely cares.

Who We Are

We’re a well-established practice with a loyal and growing client base. For over eight years, we’ve proudly delivered high standards of care in a warm and welcoming environment. Clients often tell us that we feel more like family than a clinic – and that’s exactly how we like it.

We’re owned and led by a vet and a veterinary nurse, which means we understand the real-life challenges of clinical work. Our leadership is grounded in compassion, honesty, and a deep respect for our people – and that shows in the culture we’ve created.

We’re a Practice Standards Scheme member, proud holders of a Good Client Service Award, and committed to making our practice feel like a place where both team members and clients feel seen and supported.

You’ll be joining a supportive team of 3 experienced vets, 5 fantastic RVNs, a VCA, and 4 friendly receptionists – all of whom believe in teamwork, learning together, and always making time for a good chat (and a slice of cake!).

Our clinical facilities include:

Digital x-ray (converted into a peaceful, homely euthanasia room when needed)
In-house laboratory
Ultrasound
Dental x-ray (coming soon!)
A varied surgical caseload, including orthopaedics

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a confident and approachable vet with at least 2 years’ experience in small animal practice. You’ll be:

Kind, enthusiastic, and a great communicator
Comfortable with routine surgery and medical work-ups
Open to learning and collaboration
Passionate about high standards and animal welfare
Calm and adaptable when things get busy

We value flexibility and understand life outside work is important too. Whether you’re looking for full time or part time, we’ll work with you to find a rota that fits – including school hours if needed, and no out-of-hours. The role will include a weekend rota of 1 in 3 Saturdays (9:00am – 6:00pm).

What We Offer

We’re proud to be part of the Vets for Pets network, offering you the stability of a trusted brand with the feel of a close-knit independent practice.

Salary up to £65,000 FTE (depending on experience)
Generous CPD allowance + funding for certificates
Contributory pension
Paid RCVS & VDS memberships
Option to buy extra holiday
Exclusive colleague discounts and rewards
Unlimited tea, coffee, and cake (and people to share it with!)

Why Join Us?

At Sittingbourne Vets for Pets, you won’t just be a cog in the wheel. You’ll be a valued team member with a voice, the support to grow, and the space to develop your own interests and clinical passions.

If you’re looking for a team where compassion, humour, and teamwork are just as important as clinical excellence – led by people who genuinely get it – then we could be your perfect match.

We’d love to hear from you – apply now and let’s start the conversation.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a fun, hardworking and motivated team, offering the chance to develop your own specialisms in a supportive environment. If we sound like a team, you'd like to be a part of, we would love to hear from you!
