Introduction

Our Client’s hospital in Cardiff, Wales is seeking a Veterinary Surgeon with a medical bias to join their progressive and dedicated team. The role is ideal for a vet with a strong interest in internal medicine and imaging, keen to work in a highly collaborative and well-equipped hospital environment.

The standard rota consists of a 4-day working week with one 9-hour weekend shift (Saturday OR Sunday) every 5 weeks, plus one bank holiday shift per year. Total hours average 38.1 per week.

This role is perfect for a confident and experienced Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys managing complex medical cases and has skills in imaging techniques such as ultrasound and endoscopy. You will be responsible for working up cases fully in-house with access to outstanding facilities and clinical support.

The hospital is RCVS accredited and offers 24/7 inpatient and emergency care. Facilities include a CT scanner, advanced ultrasonography, endosurgery equipment, extensive in-house blood analysis tools (including TEG and blood gases), dedicated orthopaedic, soft tissue, and exotic theatres, ECC wards, dental suite, and in-house hydrotherapy and physiotherapy services. The practice promotes a positive and growth-oriented work culture, actively supporting personal and clinical advancement.
