Job Description

Small Animal Practice | Up to £66,000 DOE (FTE) | No OOH | Relocation Package | Flexible & Part-Time Options Available

If you’re looking for a role where flexibility is genuinely understood and supported, and where you’ll be part of a warm, close-knit veterinary team, we’d love to hear from you. We’re currently seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join us during an exciting period of growth — with true flexibility at the heart of how we work.

Why join us?

At Vets for Pets Merthyr Tydfil, we don’t just talk about flexibility — we build it into everything we do. We understand that life doesn’t fit neatly around a rota, so we actively shape part-time, flexible, and balanced schedules that work for our people as much as our patients.

Whether you’re looking for reduced hours, school-friendly shifts, or a better work–life rhythm, we’re open and understanding. We believe great veterinary work happens when people feel supported, not stretched.

Our team & culture

We’re a strong, supportive and genuinely close-knit nursing and vet team where collaboration comes naturally. People look out for one another, communicate openly, and share a real sense of purpose in the work we do.

Our culture is built on:

  • Psychological safety and open communication
  • Mutual respect and kindness
  • A team where everyone has a voice
  • Shared wins, shared challenges, and shared success

We actively support each other so that everyone can thrive professionally while also having space for life outside of work. This is a practice where you’re encouraged to be yourself, develop at your own pace, and feel part of something meaningful.

What makes us different?

  • True flexibility, part-time, or bespoke working patterns welcomed
  • No out-of-hours (OOH) – protecting your time, rest, and wellbeing
  • Salary up to £66,000 DOE (FTE)
  • A modern, well-equipped practice designed to help you do your best work
  • Strong, experienced nursing team and supportive colleagues
  • Generous CPD allowance with real opportunities for development
  • A culture that prioritises wellbeing, teamwork, and sustainability in your career

Life in Merthyr Tydfil

Located in the heart of South Wales, Merthyr Tydfil offers a unique balance of stunning countryside and everyday convenience. With the Brecon Beacons National Park right on your doorstep, it’s ideal for anyone who enjoys hiking, cycling, or simply being outdoors.

The town also benefits from:

  • Easy access to Cardiff
  • Affordable living
  • A friendly, community-focused atmosphere
  • A great balance between work, life, and nature

If you’re a Veterinary Surgeon who values flexibility, a supportive team, and a genuinely positive working environment, we’d love to talk.
