Experienced Veterinary Surgeon

Home Euthanasia & End-of-Life Care | Mobile Role

Hampshire |  £24 per hour FTE + profit share

This isn’t just another vet job.
It’s a chance to slow down, practise with intention, and be there for clients when it matters most.

An established, independent veterinary service specialising exclusively in home euthanasia and end-of-life care is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their small, compassionate team. This is a rare opportunity to step away from the pressures of traditional practice and focus on calm, unrushed, deeply meaningful work — all within a non-corporate, quality-led environment.

Why This Role Is Different

• Long, 1–2 hour appointments — no rushing, no conveyor belt

• An average of just 4 visits per day

• Entirely home-visit based, allowing pets to pass peacefully in familiar surroundings

• A role centred on communication, empathy and client care, not clinical targets

• Genuine work-life balance, flexibility, and emotional support from a close-knit team

The Practical Bits

• Mobile role covering the local Hampshire area

• Company car provided, based at a central business park hub

• All current team members live within 10–20 minutes of the coverage area

• Full UK driving licence essential

The Role

• Full-time or part-time (minimum 24 hours per week)

• Typical hours: 9am–6pm, with flexibility where possible

• 1 in 4 Saturdays (full visit day)

• No Sundays, no Bank Holidays, no formal out-of-hours

• Sole-charge role

• Generous travel time built into the day

• Focused solely on euthanasia and end-of-life support

 About You

• Ideally 5+ years’ UK veterinary experience

• Confident working sole charge

• Comfortable with cannulation

• Calm, compassionate, emotionally intelligent

• Excellent communication and bedside manner

• Physically able to assist with lifting pets when needed

• Open to a role focused on care and connection, rather than clinical progression

The Practice

• Independent, boutique service founded in 2020

• Intentionally small — plans to remain at 3–4 vets maximum

• Outstanding local reputation with excellent client reviews

• Approx. 50% referral-based work, remainder via word of mouth

• Supported by experienced RVNs and care coordinators trained in end-of-life care

• Quality-first ethos with time, space, and dignity at the heart of every visit

 Culture & Environment

• Relaxed, informal management style

• Supportive, family-oriented team

• Strong emphasis on work-life balance

• Flexible approach to personal commitments

• Open, approachable leadership with direct access to the owners

• A genuinely different way of practising veterinary medicine

Benefits

• £24 per hour FTE

• Quarterly profit share: 2% of net profits (pro rata after 6 months)

• 5 weeks’ holiday + Bank Holidays (no BH working)

• Pension: 3% employer / 5% employee

• Sick pay: 4 weeks full pay post-probation, then 70% for up to 12 weeks

• Free euthanasia and cremation for your own pets

• Company car

• Informal, human flexibility built into the role
