Our people have the opportunity to work full/part‑time, covering a variety of shifts over 4/4:5 days per week, with a share of the weekend rota and support from our night team.

Welcome To Penmellyn

We are a 6‑site small animal practice, with a well‑equipped small animal and referral hospital that is in need of a vet or two, to not only fill a vacancy due to one of our lovely vets leaving us to venture around the world, but to expand our forever growing team.

We are lucky to have our Small Animal Hospital at St Columb Major equipped with a team of certificate holders who are happy to provide any assistance required with case management and have internal referrals to our orthopaedic, soft tissue and diagnostics teams. We also have visiting specialists in cardiology and ophthalmology.

Our Ambition

We strive to provide the very best of care to our patients and with our hospital close by our branches, we can seamlessly accommodate patients who require hospitalisation or further referral work‑up.
