Part-time Veterinary Surgeon in Uxbridge

Uxbridge is a suburban area of West London that has history dating back to medieval times. Goddard Uxbridge has been a firm fixture in the community for many years, and they are looking for an additional part‑time vet to join the GP team.

This is a 2-day week first opinion GP role, on Thursdays and Fridays (Friday being an 8‑hour day) and includes a 1:3 branch Saturday, and 1:8 Sundays working alongside the Mandeville Hospital team, plus 1‑2 bank holidays per year. There are NO on‑call requirements for this position.

Responsibilities:

• Carry out consultations, thoroughly examining all pets presented and making management and treatment recommendations which are based on best practice and are evidence‑based and in accordance with GVG protocols.
• Perform GP surgery on cases as appropriate and within boundaries of personal competence and limitation of overnight care.
• Maintain, prescribe and dispense all medications in accordance with appropriate current medicines legislation and RCVS guidance.
• Record accurate and thorough clinical notes and ensure that pets’ histories are accurate, comprehensive and useful to colleagues.
• Be prepared to refer cases in a timely manner, in the first instance to a GVG Hospital, when there is an inability to undertake a case for whatever reason.
• Help to maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment.

You will be supported by an incredibly established team including senior vet, RVN team and trainee nurses. You will also be fully supported by a regional head vet for any additional clinical support you may need. Goddard Mandeville Veterinary Hospital in Northolt provides Uxbridge with its OOH care and support with any complex cases you may need to refer.

The practice itself is a generous size flooded with natural light, it has 3 consult rooms, and a large kennel and prep area leading into theatre. There is plenty of on‑site parking available which is a rare commodity for London sites!

In terms of location, the practice is within a 15 minute walk of Uxbridge underground station on the Metropolitan line, which takes you to some of London’s best hot spots such as Kings Cross, beautiful Farringdon which has a plethora of independent bars and restaurants, and through to Liverpool Street where most other transport lines can be picked up. The Uxbridge area is an ideal location if you like the best of both, with plenty of green space to the west, then easy access into London to the east.
