Job Description

Locally owned since 2010, Swindon Vets for Pets are looking for a proactive vet to join their friendly, welcoming team on a fixed term basis. So, if you’re looking for the continuity of working with the same team and clients but with a fully flexible rota to fit around your personal commitments, then this could be the role for you!

The Role
In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for an experienced vet with a broad range of GP skills. We are lucky to have a varied caseload, so you’ll be confident in all aspects of everyday small animal medicine and surgery.

We’re open to discussing working patterns and want to be accommodating as we know what it takes for the team to provide the first class care they do, so whether you’re looking for hours to work with the school run, caring responsibilities or a new hobby you’ve taken up, we’d like to consider the hours that suit you too.

The position does include 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, 8.30am -1pm which will be sole charge but emergencies only.

About You
We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who:

  • Is confident with routine surgery and consultations
  • Enjoys working as part of a collaborative, supportive team
  • Has strong communication skills and builds great client relationships
  • An interest in exotics would be a bonus, but not essential

About the Practice
You’ll be joining a friendly and experienced team of 14, including:

  • 3 Veterinary Surgeons (including a medicine certificate holder)
  • 3 Registered Veterinary Nurses
  • 1 Student Nurse
  • 1 Veterinary Care Assistant
  • Dedicated admin team

We pride ourselves on creating a supportive environment where everyone works together to deliver excellent patient and client care.

Facilities
Our well-equipped practice includes:

  • 3 consult rooms
  • Separate dog and cat wards
  • Operating theatre
  • Dental X-ray
  • Ultrasound
  • Endoscope
  • Fully equipped in-house lab (IDEXX suite)

We also have a comfortable colleague space, and a well-stocked team larder, because we know the little things matter!

What We Offer

  • Salary £45,000 – £60,000 FTE DOE
  • Flexible working pattern
  • Cycle to Work scheme
  • AXA Private Healthcare
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Supportive and friendly team culture
  • Strong, loyal client base

Why Join Us?
At Swindon Vets for Pets, you’ll be part of a close-knit team that genuinely supports each other, where your skills are valued, and you can focus on delivering great care without feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re looking for a flexible role in a positive and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you. Simply contact Laura on 07790 372441 or email southvets@vets4pets.com
