Veterinary Surgeon
Join our thriving Mill Hill practice and make the biggest impact of your career.
Mill Hill is a busy Creature Comforts clinic with a settled, ego-free team and a loyal client base, and we're growing.
We're looking for a vet who wants more than a job. You'll have the time, tools and tech to practise the kind of medicine you're proud of, vet leadership behind you all the way, and the chance to help grow the clinic and share in its success.
About Creature Comforts
Creature Comforts is bringing the joy back to vet care. We're a fast-growing group led by vets who know the profession inside out, right up to our co-founder and CEO, Russell. We give clinic teams the chance to help build and grow their own clinic, with the people, time and tools to do it properly. Expect well-staffed teams, capped member numbers and stunning clinics, in a warm, no-ego group where everyone belongs and every win is celebrated, big and small. We expect a lot, we'll back you all the way, and we make every day fun.

Build something that's yours: grow an established clinic and run it like it's yours, building on a loyal client base and community.
