Support and growth with South Wales Vets
Here at South Wales Vets, we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our experienced team. The role will include a nice mixture of consults and surgery (1-2 set surgery days per week) and you will have plenty of time to work up cases allowing for case continuity. We see a lot of interesting medical and surgical cases. We have an orthopaedic vet to take internal and external referrals. We also have a vet doing an ophthalmology certificate who can take internal referrals. You will also get the opportunity to see emergency cases and you will be supported by our experienced team.
If you would like to work across our sites, this is something we can discuss.
Flexible rota patterns that work for you - 4 day week, no OOH
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that's why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Whether you need reduced working days/hours for hobbies, need to do the school drop off/pick up or would simply like a more flexible rota pattern, we can fix or flex our patterns to suit you - you tell us what you need.
Typically, the full-time position is 40 hours across 4 days with 1:4 Saturdays and no OOH. We would also welcome part-time applicants, for example a 3-day week.
