Shape Your Future with Pets1st, Runnymede Hill, Veterinary Hospital
We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Pets 1st in Egham, Surrey. We are looking for someone who is compassionate, proactive, adaptable and will thrive in a busy hospital environment.

This role is ideal for a clinician ready to take on more responsibility, support junior members of the team, and continue developing their own skills in a well-established practice. We have a longstanding team with a wealth of knowledge who put pet care at the heart of everything we do, with 4 vets supported by 6 RVNs, 2 SVNs, a clinical coach, and a full reception team.

Our nurses are highly experienced with multiple certificates between them; they are a huge support to the veterinary team. You will have clinical freedom with a varied caseload and opportunities to specialise - whether that’s studying for a certificate, offering specialist services, or advancing your surgical expertise.

Our vets work a 4-day working week, consisting of an 8-hour, 9-hour, and two 10.5-hour shifts. Saturdays (8am-2pm) are equally shared. This equates to a 40-hour working week. No OOH, bank holidays, or Sundays.

Proud to Be Part of IVC Evidensia

United by a shared purpose - Healthy Animals, Happy Owners - we’re proud to champion long-term animal health and welfare through the dedication of every individual across our international network.

Flexibility that Fits Your Lifestyle
Wherever you are in your career, we’re here to support you. Full-time typically means 40 hours over 4 days, but part-time applicants are welcome. Plus, there are no out-of-hours or bank holiday shifts.

In return, we ask that you’re a confident communicator, willing to collaborate within the team to help our patients and are passionate about veterinary care.

Supportive, Skilled and Well-equipped
Facilities include separate dog and cat wards and waiting areas, three consult rooms, an ICU, theatre, dental X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, and a full in-house lab - everything you’d expect from a modern, well-equipped hospital.

Our Team is Our Greatest Strength
Led by Clinical Director Andy and Deputy Clinical Director David - with over 20 years of combined experience - our team of 4 vets is supported by 6 RVNs, 2 SVNs, and a clinical coach.

Each day begins with a structured ward round to review cases and plan the day, ensuring consistent, high-quality care for every patient.
