Veterinary Surgeon - Be part of something new

We’re opening a brand-new Cardiff Ty Glas practice, partnering with two experienced local clinicians, and they are looking for a full or part time vet to join their team.

This isn't just another veterinary role - it's your chance to be part of a practice from its very beginning, helping to shape the culture, clinical standards, and ways of working alongside an experienced and supportive leadership team.

If you're looking for a role where your ideas are valued, your development is prioritised, and you'll genuinely enjoy coming to work each day, we'd love to hear from you.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Our new practice is led by two experienced Practice Owners who are passionate about creating an environment where both colleagues and patients thrive.

One owner brings a strong nursing background, while the other has over 15 years' experience as a Veterinary Surgeon, including Lead Vet and Clinical Director roles. Having worked across both independent and corporate practices, they understand what makes a great workplace and are committed to building exactly that.

From your first day, you'll benefit from:

• A genuinely supportive and approachable leadership team
• Everyday mentoring and clinical support
• Freedom to develop your own clinical interests
• Opportunities to influence how the practice grows
• A collaborative team culture where everyone's voice matters
• High-quality, personalised patient care without compromise

The Role

We have the flexibility to shape working patterns around the needs of our team. Whether you're seeking full-time or part-time hours, we'll work with you to create a schedule that supports both your professional and personal commitments.

We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys first-opinion practice, values teamwork, and wants to be part of building something special.

Purpose-Built Facilities

Our new practice has been designed with excellent clinical standards in mind and will include:

• Dedicated dental suite with dental radiography
• Modern operating theatre
• Digital X-ray
• Ultrasound
• In-house laboratory
• Multi-parameter monitoring including ECG, pulse oximetry and capnography
• ISFM-approved cat kennels

Everything has been carefully planned to help you deliver outstanding patient care while working efficiently and confidently.

A Fantastic Cardiff Location

Located in Llanishen, Cardiff (CF14 5ZB), the practice offers excellent transport links and convenience.

You'll benefit from:

• Around 10–15 minutes by car from Cardiff city centre.
• Approximately 13 minutes by train from the city centre.
• Convenient access to the M4, making commuting from Bristol and South Wales quick and easy.
• Free on-site parking
• Shops, cafés and gyms right on your doorstep, including Marks & Spencer, Boots and Homesense.
