Want to work your passion with flexibility and a great work-life balance? To accommodate our growing client base and due to the relocation of a current member of the vet team, we’re now looking to expand our team at Dorchester Vets for Pets!
Who we are
The practice is purpose built with some great facilities including an operating theatre, 2 dedicated consult rooms, a nurse consult room/x-ray room, as well as all the kit you’d expect from a solid GP practice including a new digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab equipment, full multi-parameter monitoring equipment and other essentials. We’re also happy to discuss investing in additional equipment in the future, depending on your areas of interest.
You’ll be working alongside Jordan, our Clinical Lead and Practice Owner, as well as a four strong, experienced, and forward-thinking nursing team including Lauren, RVN, Practice Manager and Owner and four incredible receptionists. Our team is always looking for new ideas to develop the practice further and provide the best levels of clinical care and client service possible to our loyal and growing client base.
The role and you
Our ideal candidate will be experienced and confident with routine neutering, procedures and emergency and critical care. Although not for large portions of your overall rota, you’ll also be confident in periods of sole charge.
With our focus on creating a rota and workplace that allows flexibility, enjoyment and a place to thrive and grow both clinically and non-clinically, we are happy to consider applications from full or part-time vets. There isn’t an out-of-hours requirement, and we are closed on Sundays, allowing everyone to make the most of every minute of life outside of work!
Our days are structured with 15-minute consults as standard, and time taken for lunch and admin are also factored into the day. We meet regularly as a team to discuss issues and how to progress our patient and client care, with an open and flexible approach the rest of the time.
What we’re offering
* Salary of £50,000 to £70,000 FTE, commensurate with experience
* 5.6 weeks annual leave as standard (pro-rata for part-time).
* RCVS and VDS memberships are paid as well as the opportunity to have one other membership paid.
* Life Assurance 4 x Annual Salary
* Contributory Pension Scheme
* Dedicated CPD allowance including support towards Certificates
* Relocation Allowance
* Cycle to Work Scheme
* Access to Colleague Assistance Programmes – Retail Trust, Port of Call and MHFA
* Exclusive company discounts and rewards through our reward hub– including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and Vet Group
Not only are we offering a great role, but the opportunity for a great lifestyle too! Our practice is situated in Dorchester; in the heart of Dorset, close to idyllic beaches, dramatic coastlines and scenic walks. Dorchester, and nearby Weymouth, have vibrant social scenes, ‘outstanding’ schools in the area and great transport links to London – a generous relocation package is available for the right candidate.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
