We are delighted to be preparing for the launch of a brand-new veterinary hospital in Cwmbran, serving the communities of Torfaen and the surrounding areas. We look to open our doors early 2027. Animal Trust is an independently owned, not‑for‑profit Community Interest Company (CIC) providing accessible, affordable, high-quality veterinary care. Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our hospital will offer continuous patient care and emergency services, supporting both our clients and the wider veterinary community. Our commitment to affordability sets us apart. With free consultations during the day and £79 out‑of‑hours consultations, we remove barriers that can prevent pet owners from seeking veterinary advice. Combined with our transparent packaged pricing, this allows us to see a varied and rewarding caseload, providing excellent opportunities for our clinical teams to develop their skills and experience.
As an inpatient A+E vet you will oversee the inpatient care and emergency cases coming through our A+E service, ensuring an exciting mix of medically biased cases. Your primary responsibility will be to meet the needs of our inpatients, whether performing emergency procedures yourself or coordinating with our skilled team to provide comprehensive care.
