Veterinary Surgeon

About us

We are a busy small animal practice with a clinical team comprising of 5 Vets, 6 RVN’s and 2 student nurses. Our vet and nursing teams both have clinicians who have combined experience exceeding 35 years in the industry and are supported by an exceptional team of 1 ACA, 4 receptionists and practice manager Mei.

This is a balanced role with surgery and medicine and as a solid GP practice we work at a steady pace, with a well‑managed rota and appointments given 15 minutes.

On a standard day, there are 3 vets on with 2 on consults and 1 on ops, with breaks and admin time factored in throughout the day.

We also hold regular practice and clinical meetings and 1:2:1’s, ensuring everyone feels supported in their role.

This is a full‑time position 40 hours a week, 9am‑7pm Monday to Friday with one day off in the week and including just 1 in 4 Saturdays, 9am‑5pm.

Having benefited from an extension 2 years ago, the practice provides a spacious working environment for the whole team including a designated colleague room, 4 consult rooms, 2 operating theatres, dental operating theatre, separate dog and cat wards and office space.

We have all the equipment you’d expect from a thriving GP practice, including a full pneumatic orthopaedic suite, CR30 digital x‑ray system, dental x‑ray, ultrasound scanner, multi‑parameter monitors and much more.

We work a wide range of cases from simple cases to complex surgeries and perform most of the advanced orthopaedic and soft tissues procedures in house including TPLOs and fracture repairs. We’re also planning on moving into laparoscopic procedures in 2026.

In addition to a rewarding role in a great location, you can also expect to receive:

• Salary between £37,000 - £45,000 depending on experience
• No out of hours
• Paid holiday of 28 days, rising to 33 days after 2 years of service
• Paid professional memberships including RCVS and BVA
• Dedicated CPD allowance and time off including funding towards certificates
• Life assurance 4 x annual salary
• Contributory pension scheme
• Private health insurance
• Group discounts on pet products and care
• Cycle to work scheme
• Colleague reward hub - exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street
• Free car parking

We also benefit from being located less than 2 miles from the vibrant cosmopolitan Cardiff city centre with award winning beaches and the Brecon Beacons National Park on our doorstep. The practice has easy access to the M4 and national rail links.
