Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Rowe Veterinary Group, Yate, Yate, South West

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for a new role? Our Yate practice is not your standard GP practice! We are fully equipped with ultrasound, digital X-ray imaging, and advanced dental facilities, allowing us to manage a wide range of cases in-house. The practice does general surgery to a high-level and in general will refer very little from a normal general practice workload.

Often those cases that are referred to our team within the Rowe Referrals Hospital who are happy to have you follow your case through.

You will work alongside a team of 9 vets, of which some hold or are working towards their advanced practitioner status. A large passionate team of clinical and non‑clinical support from the nurses, care assistants and admin team. You will also be joining a much larger team here at Rowe with over 40 first opinion vets, 10 referral vets and a significant workforce spanning our 7 sites

United by a shared purpose - Healthy Animals, Happy Owners - we’re proud to champion long‑term animal health and welfare through the dedication of every individual across our international network.

Our team Rowe Yate are looking for an experienced, caring and clinically passionate veterinary professional to join the team to continue the excellent patient care we provide for sick pets.
