Job Description
About the Role
We’re excited to welcome an experienced and confident Veterinary Surgeon to join the friendly and well-established team at Medivet Stevenage. This role is ideal for a vet who enjoys a balance of consulting and routine surgery and wants to continue developing strong, all-round GP skills within a supportive environment.
Our Stevenage practice has built a large, loyal client base over many years, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality care while building meaningful client relationships. You’ll work closely with an experienced Lead Vet with over 20 years in practice, alongside a wider team of four vets, skilled RVNs, and a dedicated reception team that keeps the clinic running smoothly.
With RVC providing out-of-hours support, you’ll benefit from excellent case continuity without compromising your work–life balance. A full practice refurbishment planned for late 2025 will further enhance clinical facilities and your day-to-day working experience.

- Delivering high-quality veterinary care during consultations and routine surgical procedures
- Creating clear, compassionate, and tailored treatment plans in partnership with pet owners
- Ensuring compliance with RCVS professional standards and internal clinical protocols
- Collaborating closely with vets, nurses, and support staff
- Sharing knowledge and contributing to the development of colleagues across local practices
