Are you looking for a flexible veterinary role where you can develop your skills and pursue your areas of interest? If so, we have a fantastic opportunity for you at Kingswood Vets for Pets!

Our practice is located on the outskirts of Bristol, straddling South Gloucestershire. Kingswood is a great place to work, with fast links to the city centre just 3.5 miles away and easy access to the Cotswolds and Bath.

About Us
Our Practice Owner, Catherine Spence, graduated from Bristol University and brings a wealth of experience . She leads a close-knit clinical team made up of four additional vets, six nurses, and five friendly support staff.

We take pride in the welcoming, family-like atmosphere within our practice-a feeling that extends from our team to our clients and patients. We're also proud of the high standard of client care we consistently provide.

You'll be joining a supportive, inclusive team that's passionate about being at the heart of the local community. You'll be one of five vets, including one working towards a Diagnostic Imaging Certificate and another who holds a certificate in medicine. Our practice is well-equipped with excellent facilities, giving you everything you need to provide high-quality care to your patients.

We're looking for a Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon, preferably with some experience, ideally available on a full-time basis. Working 4 full days with 1 day off in the week, as well as a share of Saturday mornings (currently 1 in 5, 9am-12 noon).

You'll be confident in routine surgical and clinical procedures and comfortable covering sole charge on Saturday mornings (back up is available if needed) . We strongly encourage case continuity and professional growth, offering an excellent CPD package, and we're open to supporting personal development in all areas. For the right candidate, there may even be an opportunity for future partnership.

What We Offer
As you'd expect from the market leader in small animal veterinary care, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• A competitive salary of up to £56,000 per annum (commensurate with experience)
• Varied caseload offering excellent career development opportunities
• Contributory pension scheme
• Generous CPD allowance, with funding for certificates for the right candidate
• Paid professional memberships (RCVS, VDS)
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards

Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
