Independent – Veterinary Surgeon Amersham, Buckinghamshire

An excellent opportunity for an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join a genuinely independent, family-owned veterinary group at a modern, fast-growing practice in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. This role offers the rare combination of countryside living with easy London access, alongside genuine clinical autonomy and strong professional support within a non-corporate environment.

• Full-time or part-time options available.

• Genuinely independent, family-owned group with a people-first ethos.

• No on-call, no Sundays and no bank holiday working.

• Modern, recently opened practice with strong growth and specialist support.

Key Details

• Salary: £50,000 to £80,000 FTE, commensurate with experience and hours.

The Practice

This modern practice opened in 2023 and continues to grow rapidly, offering a progressive and well-invested working environment. The practice forms part of a long-established independent veterinary group that has chosen to remain family owned, with all income reinvested back into staff and facilities.

There are no corporate targets, no restrictive ownership schemes and no hidden tie-ins. Clinical freedom, flexibility and long-term job satisfaction are central to the culture.

Facilities include:

• Digital radiography.

• Ultrasonography.

• In-house integrated laboratory.

• Dedicated surgical facilities.

• Support from visiting ophthalmology, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeons.
