Salary up to £70,000 DOE
Welcome Bonus up to £10,000
Relocation Allowance up to £8,000
The Role
Here at Priory Vets, Cardigan we are looking for a Large Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly farm and equine team (we could facilitate applicants looking for 100% farm). You will also be partnering with Steffan Vets so will have access to a varied team and equipment - a very exciting time.
You would be involved in caring for a range of farms, with a good mix of beef, dairy, and sheep, and we run a smallholder’s club to look after 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 are happy to accept both full/part-time applications, working between 8:30am-5:30pm, with occasional earlier starts or finishes which would be 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.
About Priory Vets
Fancy a lifestyle change? Already fallen in love with West Wales? Start your day watching dolphins from one of our pristine beaches and finish with a sunset walk in the Preseli hills. Cardigan town and the surrounding areas are a thriving hub of independent shops and restaurants with all local schools rated as ‘Good’ by the Welsh Inspectorate.
Our modern farm and equine practice is conveniently based on the outskirts of Cardigan town centre. Our farm Vets have the experience and time to mentor younger colleagues and include certificate holders in advanced veterinary practice in cattle, and mastitis control plan deliverers. We fully support any Vet who wishes to undertake a certificate and currently have a Vet completing a certificate in advanced veterinary practice in camelid medicine.
