We are looking for passionate Veterinary Surgeons to join us at Heath Vets, Rhiwbina! You will be mainly based at our main branch where no day is the same, we enjoy a varied caseload with case continuity and actively encourage our vets to work up their cases. You will be surrounded by a knowledgeable team who are always happy to advise and support you. There will be occasional sole charge at our smaller branches.
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, and that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career. Whether you are looking for hours around school runs or rush hour, we can find the perfect rota for you.
Typically, our full-time Vets work 4 days per week with hours between 9 am-7 pm and a lunch break in the middle. You will always get the same day off each week to ensure a good work-life balance can be achieved. There are no weekends or OOH. We would welcome full or part-time applicants.
