Job Description

We’re expanding with exciting changes being made to the practice from August 2026. We now have an unmissable opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly team at Bristol Imperial Vets for Pets, a well-established practice where some of our colleagues have worked since our doors opened!

About us

As a locally owned and independently run practice, our vet team already consists of colleagues with a passion for surgery, dentistry, feline medicine and imaging. You’ll be joining an excellent team of fellow vets, as well as a very supportive and experienced nurse and non-clinical team.

We work hard here seeing a huge variety of interesting cases and benefit from a very close relationship with a peracetic referral service.

Proud owners of an ISFM Silver Certificate Cat Friendly Clinic award (striving for Gold), a RAW Silver Rabbit Friendly award and an approved Veterinary Nurse Training Practice, we also have all the facilities and equipment you’d expect from a thriving GP small animal practice.

The role and you

In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for an experienced vet with a passion for consulting. We are lucky to have a varied caseload including cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, so you’ll be confident in all aspects of everyday small animal medicine and surgery.

As well as strong clinical skills, we’re also looking for someone skilled in building strong relationships with patients and clients, as well as someone who thrives working as part of a great team.

The role is part time working just Friday and Monday with only 1 in 5 weekends.

In addition to a highly rewarding role, you can also expect to receive

  • Salary from £45,000-£55,000 FTE, commensurate with experience
  • No out of hours
  • Negotiable holiday allowance (salary sacrifice scheme)
  • 1 in 5 weekends (9-6 on Saturdays and 10.00-4.00pm on Sundays)
  • Holiday & sick pay funded
  • Paid annual subscriptions including VDS/ RCVS + 1 more
  • Uncapped CPD allowance
  • Contributory pension scheme

We are also ideally located in an area with great local amenities, plenty of parking and good public transport links with the train station and nearest airport just 15 minutes away. The M4, M5 and M32 are also easily accessible, taking you to other towns and cities within the UK including the beautiful Cotswolds and South-West coast which are also nearby.
