A well-established, independent small animal practice in the borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf in South Wales is seeking an experienced veterinary surgeon to join its dedicated team. As one of the few remaining independent practices in the area, the focus remains on providing excellent patient care while maintaining a supportive and friendly work environment.
The Practice:
Owned and led by experienced veterinary professionals, the practice has undergone significant upgrades, including a complete renovation and continuous investment in new equipment such as digital and dental X-ray and Doppler ultrasound. The team is encouraged to pursue professional development, with certificates and further study actively supported.
The Team and Specialisms:
The existing veterinary team includes experienced clinicians with interests in small animal medicine, surgery, and dentistry. The practice also benefits from the expertise of visiting specialists and advanced practitioners, allowing complex orthopaedic and ophthalmology cases to be managed in-house. A skilled team of RVNs, SVNs, and an exceptional reception team ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the practice. The atmosphere is enhanced by two resident Border Terriers, who contribute to team morale with their playful antics.
The Role:
* Work-life balance is a key priority, with a structured rota that includes a 4-day workweek.
* Only 1:3 Saturday mornings (consulting only).
* There is no out-of-hours work, as inpatient care and emergencies are handled by an external provider.
* The practice fosters a friendly and sociable environment, celebrating milestones together and enjoying a positive team culture.
Duties:
* You will have an equal share of the consulting and operating duties, meaning you can develop your skills and interests in all areas.
* There is no sole charge, so you always have someone available to discuss a case and bounce ideas off.
* Their out-of-hours are outsourced to Valley Vets, who also take care of any inpatients, meaning your weekends, nights, and bank holidays are free to enjoy.
The Location:
Located in a welcoming community, the practice is ideally situated with easy access to Cardiff, stunning beaches, and the breathtaking Brecon Beacons. This role offers a fantastic opportunity to be part of a supportive and progressive team in a practice that values its independence and commitment to high-quality veterinary care.
The Role Offers:
* Salary: £45,000 - £65,000 p/a - reflective of skills and experience.
* Working Pattern: 4-day week with only 1:3 Saturday mornings (8:30 AM – 12:00 PM, consults only).
* No Out-of-Hours, Sundays, or Bank Holiday Work.
* CPD Support: Certificates encouraged and funded.
