About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Senior Equine Vet to take the lead at Lingfield East, our rapidly growing branch practice in Kent.

• Working closely with senior management to share ideas and drive improvements
About You
• MRCVS with solid equine-only experience
• A confident clinician who enjoys working with people as much as horses
• Leadership experience is ideal, but we’d also love to hear from vets ready to take the next step
• Approachable, organised, and a great communicator
• Interested in developing a branch and a team over the long term
• Passionate about delivering excellent care and client service
What We Offer
• Competitive salary depending on experience
• Profit share or performance-related bonus options
• A high level of clinical and operational autonomy
• The site is in the process of being developed and we will be able to offer in a matter of months an excellent well equipped facility with brand new office, lab, stabling, stocks, trot up, hard lunge area and menage.
• High quality equipment.
• Strong support network
• Flexible working patterns where possible
• Generous CPD allowance and support for further development
• The chance to shape an independent practice and feel invested in its success
Why Join Us?
We’re proud of our supportive, down-to-earth culture and are looking for someone who wants to be part of a practice where people genuinely enjoy working together. If you’re ready for a role where your experience, ideas, and leadership really matter, we’d love to hear from you.
