Independent South Wales practice with a supportive long‑standing team, no OOH, flexible working, and strong CPD and certificate support.
Who They Are
This is a well‑established independent small animal practice in South Wales, known for its long‑standing team, supportive culture, and strong sense of community. Many colleagues have worked within the practice for over a decade, with team members progressing through in‑house training and development pathways.
The practice operates across multiple sites and is equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, ECG, in‑house laboratory facilities, and dedicated dental equipment, enabling high‑quality first‑opinion case management. The clinic develops its own veterinary nurses wherever possible, supporting a cohesive and experienced clinical environment.
As an independent practice, decisions can be made quickly, and team feedback directly shapes clinical workflows, diary structure, and service improvements.
What You’ll Do
- Provide first‑opinion consultations, diagnostic work‑ups, routine surgeries, and general medical case management.
- Use available diagnostic tools to support evidence‑based decision‑making.
- Maintain accurate and compliant clinical records, supporting continuity of care.
- Collaborate with veterinary surgeons, RVNs, and support colleagues across the practice.
- Contribute to case discussions, clinical meetings, and continuous improvement activities.
- Work a 38‑hour week over four days with a fixed day off.
- Benefit from no out‑of‑hours duties and no weekend work as standard.
Flexible and part‑time arrangements are welcomed, with existing colleagues working a wide variety of rota patterns.
What You’ll Gain From Them
- Salary £45,000–£75,000, depending on experience.
- A supportive, stable team environment with opportunities to shape practice development.

- Flexible CPD funding (commonly around £3,000 per year)
