Job Description

We are recruiting Veterinary Surgeons across Cardiff and the surrounding region, partnering with a mix of independent practices, established veterinary groups, and large hospital settings.

Whether you’re seeking a first-opinion GP role, a surgery-heavy caseload, or a clinically progressive hospital environment, we consistently recruit for permanent roles that support a wide range of experience levels and career goals.

Most opportunities offer flexible rota patterns, including part-time options, four-day weeks, and reduced weekend commitments. Many Cardiff-based practices operate with no OOH, or offer shared and well-supported OOH rotas.

Typical duties include consultations, diagnostics, routine soft-tissue surgery, dentistry, imaging interpretation, case management, clinical record-keeping, and client communication. Several roles provide structured mentorship, certificate support, and clear progression into Senior Vet or Clinical Lead positions.


Why Work With Us

We focus on accurate job matching, transparent information, and a straightforward recruitment process. You’ll only be introduced to roles that align with your clinical interests, rota preferences, and salary expectations.

Our support includes:

  • Full role details before interview

  • Honest salary and benefits information

  • Interview preparation and offer negotiation

  • Long-term career and progression guidance


Requirements

  • RCVS registration

  • Right to work in the UK

  • Small-animal clinical experience (typically 2+ years unless stated otherwise)

  • Confidence with routine consultations and surgery

  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
