We are recruiting for a Veterinary Surgeon to join a popular small animal practice in Walthamstow, East London. This is a part-time role for 2 days per week, ideal for a vet who enjoys routine consultations and surgery, and is particularly suited to those with an interest in dentistry given the high dental caseload. If you are searching for part-time veterinary surgeon jobs in London, this position offers the perfect mix of variety, support, and flexibility.

About the role
This is a part-time role working Mondays and Tuesdays, with no sole charge. The rota also includes 1:4 branch Saturdays, 1:8 Sundays at Wanstead Hospital, and up to 2 bank holidays per year. You will also be included in the last-resort on-call and twilight rota for Wanstead.

For vets looking for extra hours, there are flexible "pick and mix” options available at nearby practices including South Woodford, Highbury, and Tottenham. Your induction will include a dedicated hospital training day to familiarise yourself with Wanstead before your first shift there.
