Job Description

Our slightly crazy (but very lovely) team is looking for a new vet to join us, as one of ours is heading home to Cardiff...

Who are we?

We’ve been part of the Yate community for over 30 years (with Hannah at the helm for the last 7), and we’re proud to blend the best of old-school and modern vetting:

Loyal, bonded clients who enjoy a bit of banter
A genuinely tight-knit team who work and socialise together
Pragmatic, patient-focused care- no targets, just great service

Highly trained RVNs (Schedule 3 + certificates)
Unlimited CPD and support for peoples’ interests
Investment in equipment we actually want
Regular team meetings at the pub so everyone has a voice

Who are we looking for?

Confident small animal vet
Comfortable with some sole charge
Enjoys building strong client relationships
Happy to teach (we’re a nurse training practice with EMS students too)
Bonus points if you’re willing to displace kids from playgrounds for staff photos!

What’s on offer?

Full-time preferred (mix of 9–7 and 9–5 shifts), but part-time considered for the right person
Minimum 1-hour paid lunch break (usually 2+ hours for proper downtime and admin catch-up)
Share of Saturdays (9–1)
No OOH
Unlimited CPD
Generous staff discounts
A brilliant, slightly feral team- check out our staff intros here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRWFDgVe/

Please note: This role isn’t suitable for new grads right now, as we’ve recently welcomed a new grad and want to give them our full support.

If you’re looking for a supportive, fun and forward-thinking practice with a strong community feel, we’d love to hear from you!
