Elevate Your Veterinary Career | Senior Veterinary Recruitment Consultant

If you’re a vet who wants to work cases up properly, have access to the right tools, and feel genuinely supported by your team—this South Wales opportunity could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

We’re working with a modern, recently revamped practice near Bridgend, offering a salary of up to £70,000, no OOH, and true rota flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Whether you're looking for full-time, part-time, long days, short days—or even time for a lunchtime beach walk—they’re happy to tailor things around the right person.

Why this role stands out:

• Competitive salary up to £70K depending on experience
• Flexibility in working patterns to suit your life and commitments
• No out-of-hours or overnight inpatient checks
• Paid lunch breaks (yes, really!)
• Practice culture that values people, not just rota coverage

Top-tier kit to support your clinical standards:

• ECG
• Digital and dental x-ray
• In-house lab
• Access to regular CT scanning for deeper case workups

This is a genuinely well-equipped site where the team aims to investigate thoroughly in-house before considering referral—so it’s a great fit for vets who want to build confidence, follow cases through, and practice proper medicine.

The team you’ll be joining:

You’d be working alongside 2 experienced vets, 4 nurses (2 RVNs, 2 students), 10 VCAs, a dedicated reception crew and a brilliant Practice Manager. It’s a team-first environment with strong mentorship and a supportive, down-to-earth vibe. They also run regular charity initiatives and events to give back to the local community—so if you're the type who enjoys team BBQs as much as team case discussions, you’ll feel right at home.

Additional perks include:

• 28 days holiday including bank hols (rising to 33 with service)
• Funded and tailored CPD—certificates fully supported
• Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS, BVA)
• Company pension
• Staff discounts across vet services, retail and grooming
• Exclusive colleague perks and rewards

Location-wise, you’re just minutes from the M4 for easy commutes, 20 minutes from the coast, and within easy reach of Cardiff—so it’s the perfect mix of green space, sea air and city access.

If this sounds like a team and role you’d like to explore, drop your CV to [e-mail] or call 07519119233 for a confidential chat.
