Maternity Cover Veterinary Surgeon - North London

Maternity Cover Veterinary Surgeon – North London

£60,000 Pro Rata | 4-Day Week | Supportive, Established Team

The Opportunity

If you’re a confident GP Vet who enjoys a good surgical caseload without the chaos , this is one of those roles that just feels… easy to settle into.

This is a 6-12 month maternity cover within a genuinely well-run, well-supported North London practice, the kind where the team know each other well, the clients trust you, and you’re not firefighting every day.

You’ll step into an established caseload , work alongside an experienced vet, and have the backing of a wider clinical network; so you can focus on doing your job well, not just getting through the day.

Why This Role Works

✔️ 4-day week – proper work/life balance in London
✔️ Good surgical exposure – not just back-to-back consults
✔️ Supportive team – experienced colleagues + hands-on Branch Partner
✔️ Established client base – no “starting from scratch” feeling
✔️ Fixed-term security – ideal if you want something structured without long-term commitment

This would suit someone who wants a solid, enjoyable role for the next 6-12 months;  whether that’s to bridge a gap, relocate to London, or simply work somewhere that runs well.
