We have a unique opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to contribute to our practice's growth and further enhance our services across livestock and equine. You would be based across Steffan Vets and Priory Vets, allowing access to a varied caseload tailored to your individual interests and aspirations.
You would be involved in caring for a range of farms, with a good mix of beef, dairy, and sheep. We run a smallholder’s club to support the increasing number of non-professional farmers in our area. You will have the chance to gain experience in looking after goats, alpacas, and pigs, and we have a wide range of equine clients if that is an area of interest too.
Our Rota
We accept both full-time and part-time applications, working between 8:30am-5:30pm, with occasional earlier starts or finishes agreed in advance with our clients. There is a 1:5 weekday and weekend on-call rota, with our Vets getting the Monday off following a weekend on call.
