Medivet Clapham
Is a vibrant, well-established practice situated in the heart of South West London. Here’s a glimpse into what makes us special.

  This allows us to keep the vast majority of procedures in-house. We also have a fantastic nursing team of RVNs, SVNs, and a dedicated front-of-house crew. Medivet Clapham truly has all the right ingredients for a thriving, rewarding practice.

Situated on the bustling Abbeville Road, our clinic has great curb appeal and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. We’re just a short walk from Clapham Common and conveniently located between Clapham Common and Clapham South Underground stations, with easy access to the Northern Line and excellent local amenities.

Living and working in Clapham offers the perfect balance of city life and green space. Trendy cafés, buzzing restaurants, independent shops, and leafy parks make it a popular area for professionals and families alike.

Whether you're commuting or looking to relocate, Clapham is a dynamic and sought-after neighbourhood to call home.

This is a full-time role, 5 days per week averaging around 42.7 hours per week with 1 in 3 Saturdays (also within the Clapham practice). Our flexible schedule offers a mix of early finishes (2pm), standard days and later shifts (7pm), helping you balance work and life.
