Veterinary Surgeon – Internal Medicine Focus

Join us at Alma Veterinary Hospital in Windsor, where your clinical expertise will be genuinely valued and fully supported.

We’re looking for a veterinary surgeon with a passion for internal medicine to take the lead in this area, while also enjoying the variety of a first-opinion caseload. Basic surgery is part of the role, but will be kept to a minimum unless you have a particular interest and would like to do more.

We’d especially love to hear from vets who hold, are working towards, or would like to work towards a certificate in medicine or advanced practitioner status. This is a full-time position with a 4-day week with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, however we are open to part-time hours for the right candidate.

What we’re looking for:

• A passionate and skilled vet with an internal medicine certificate or a desire to work towards an internal medicine certificate.
• Someone with a real love for medical care, and a genuine interest in diagnostics and treatment.
• Experience performing abdominal ultrasounds (preferred) and assisting with endoscopy (a plus).
• A strong ability to problem-solve and apply your expertise to tackle complex cases.
• A desire to stay up-to-date with the latest medical practices and contribute to a culture of learning.

What we offer:

• High-level 20 min consults focused on patient care, with minimal surgery.
• A supportive and friendly team that genuinely enjoys working together.
• Access to continuous professional development and the latest advancements in veterinary medicine.
• The chance to lead the medical knowledge in the practice and guide your colleagues.
• Opportunity to work alongside other certificate holders, sharing knowledge and expertise.
• Access to in-house ultrasound, direct digital X-rays, scopes, and lab.
• Separate dog and cat wards to ensure patient comfort and safety.
• The ability to keep in-patients in-house for better monitoring and care.

About Us

Located in the historic royal town of Windsor, Alma Veterinary Hospital is surrounded by iconic attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland, and Thorpe Park. Our practice benefits from being in a vibrant, affluent area with beautiful countryside on our doorstep, including the Thames Path and Windsor Great Park.

The town itself offers a fantastic lifestyle, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and cafés all within walking distance of the practice. We’re also exceptionally well connected—just 15 minutes from Heathrow, 45 minutes from Gatwick, and only five minutes from both the M4 and M25. Fast train links to London Paddington and Waterloo make commuting or day trips into the city a breeze.

Our Facilities

We are a well-equipped, forward-thinking first opinion practice with a varied caseload that includes both surgical and medical cases. Our hospital features:

• 4 consulting rooms
• Separate cat and dog waiting areas and wards
• A dedicated dental suite and imaging room
• A fully equipped in-house laboratory

We’re proud to offer advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment, including:

• Karl Storz laparotomy tower

• Endoscopy and bronchoscopy
• Orthopaedic kit
• ECG, capnography, and a Tonopen

We’re also the only practice within a 15-mile radius to provide laparoscopic surgery, which we're particularly proud of.

Our Team and Culture

Our dedicated team includes 7 vets, whose working patterns equate to around 4.5 full-time equivalents. We’re fortunate to have a certificate holder in surgery and our two former practice partners are still very much involved in daily practice life. Our nursing team is made up of 10 nurses (8 RVNs and 2 student nurses), supported by 5 additional team members across reception, admin, and practice management. Many of our colleagues have been with us for several years, creating a close-knit and supportive working environment.

Wellbeing is a top priority at Alma. We’re united by our commitment to high clinical standards, outstanding client care, and a team-first ethos. We’re excited to welcome someone who shares our values and would thrive as part of our collaborative, compassionate team.
