Advanced Surgical Vet(UK Visa Sponsorship)
Job Description
A Role That Moves Your Surgical Career Forward
If you’re an experienced veterinary surgeon with advanced surgical skills, this role offers a chance to step into a position where your expertise truly matters. Based in a busy 24-hour hospital in Hendon, you’ll be working in an environment designed for high-level clinical work rather than routine-only practice.
This hospital operates as both a primary care centre and a referral hub, meaning you’ll regularly handle complex and varied surgical cases. It’s an ideal setting if you’re looking to deepen your specialism and take ownership of your clinical work.
The Clinical Setting
You’ll join a well-established surgical team that includes orthopaedic and soft tissue specialists, supported by a wider group of experienced vets and certificate holders. Collaboration is a key part of daily practice, giving you space to discuss, learn, and refine your approach.
The hospital is equipped with advanced tools that support modern veterinary surgery, including:
- Orthopaedic systems such as TPLO equipment
Spinal and minimally invasive surgery facilities
Arthroscopy and laparoscopy
CT and MRI imaging
Endoscopy and advanced diagnostics
This is a setting where you can work to a very high clinical standard without being limited by equipment or support.
What Your Day Will Look Like
In this role, your focus will be on delivering high-quality surgical care while also contributing to the wider clinical team. You’ll:
- Perform orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries
Manage your own caseload, including complex referrals
Build treatment plans in partnership with pet owners
Support and mentor colleagues within the team
Maintain compliance with professional and regulatory standards
Who This Role Suits
This opportunity is best suited to someone who:
- Holds MRCVS registration
Has completed (or is working towards) a surgical certificate
Has strong experience in orthopaedic and/or advanced soft tissue procedures
Is confident leading cases and contributing to team development
Values both clinical excellence and teamwork

About the Organisation
Medivet is one of the UK’s leading veterinary care providers, with hundreds of practices and referral centres across the UK and Europe. Their approach focuses on combining clinical excellence with genuine support for staff development.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another surgical position. It’s a chance to work in a referral-level environment, take ownership of your clinical work, and be part of a team that values both expertise and collaboration. If you’re ready to elevate your career while maintaining a balanced lifestyle, this role offers exactly that.
