Veterinary Surgeon

If you are looking to join a forward thinking, flexible practice paying up to £70,000 depending on experience this is the one for you!

Our colleagues at our Bridgend practice have worked incredibly hard to offer a truly unique working environment that not only prides itself on its exceptional care, but also on the excellent opportunities it provides to their colleagues.

The practice itself is ideally located within a 2-mile drive of the M4 making it very commutable but is also within a 20-minute drive of the beautiful South Wales coast and close to Cardiff offering the best of all worlds.

The practice has recently gone through a revamp creating a wonderful spacious environment which is made up of 4 excellent consult rooms, a kennel and cattery, 2 x Theatres, a prep theatre, full inhouse lab, isolation area, washroom and separate office.

As the practice likes to do as much investigation work possible before referrals are made a CT is also available on a regular basis to give our vets better scope to support our patients. Other equipment we have in practice includes:

• Doppler US
• ECG
• Endoscope
• Digital x-ray
• Dental x-ray

Our colleagues appreciate that it isn’t just the environment that creates a great place to work its also the support. To ensure that all colleagues are supported the practice has a great team made up of 4 Vets, 6 nurses (2 Students and 4 Qualified), 7 x VCAs, a separate reception team and very experienced practice manager to ensure that the right candidate will be well supported. Our colleagues are at the heart of everything the practice achieves, both during practice hours, but also outside of it with charity events planned to help give back.

The role itself can offer real flexibility to the right candidate. Whether its short days or long days, full time or part time or even taking a longer lunch to make sure your furry friend gets a nice walk on the beach. Our colleagues can consider it all.

With care of patients our colleagues priority they are happy to help the right candidate to undertake any training or certificates they feel will help.

Alongside all of this we can also offer:

• A very competitive salary of up to £70,000 depending on your experience
• Annual leave of 28 days including bank holidays rising to 33 days including bank holidays after 2 years’ service (pro rata)
• Paid lunch breaks
• Generous CPD tailored to your needs
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
• No OOH or overnight in patient checks
• Contributory pension scheme
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards, including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and Vet Group as well as discounts with high street retailers

As a key member of the team you will ideally have a good general knowledge of surgery and a strong medical background, however we are open to discuss opportunities with people at the beginning of their veterinary journey.
