We’re looking for a dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our small friendly team at GKG Vets on a permanent basis.

We are a 2-branch brand with a main hospital in Newbury. We have facilities to include x-ray and ultrasound. Our main hospital is in a fantastic location, and 15-20 minutes from our other branch in Thatcham. We have a fairly small team spanning across the 2 branches, with everyone sharing the load of branch work.

We understand that life outside of work is just as important as the time you spend in practice.

That’s why we’re happy to offer flexible working options to suit your lifestyle — whether that’s term-time only, part-time hours, or flexible start and finish times.

If you’re looking for a role that fits around family life or other commitments, we’ll work with you to create a pattern that supports both you and our team.

At IVC Evidensia, we’re driven by the passion and commitment of our people - across clinical, operational, and support teams. With over 2,500 clinics and hospitals in 20 countries and around 41,000 employees, we work together to care for around 25,000 animals every day. United by a shared purpose - Healthy Animals, Happy Owners - we’re proud to champion long-term animal health and welfare through the dedication of every individual across our international network.
