Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon looking for a new adventure in a truly supportive and forward-thinking environment? I have an incredible opportunity for you to join a well-established, independent group of practices nestled in the heart of scenic Wiltshire, South West England.

This 4-branch, RCVS-accredited practice is proud to provide a friendly and professional service, earning silver status from both ISFM and RWAF. You will step into a dynamic GP role, balancing a varied caseload across ops, consults, and wards, all supported by a brilliant and compassionate team. The practice boasts 14 experienced vets—including certificate holders—alongside a physiotherapist, a behaviourist, a dedicated practice manager, a head nurse, and a stellar nursing team who truly make a difference every day.

With access to state-of-the-art facilities including digital X-ray, ultrasound, K-Laser, an in-house lab, separate dog and cat waiting areas, and a brand-new hydrotherapy suite, you’ll have everything you need to deliver the highest standard of care.

This is a full-time role working 40 hours over four days, with just 1:4 Saturday mornings and a well-earned shorter day the following Friday. The ideal candidate will be a committed, team-oriented vet with solid clinical experience and a passion for patient care.

Wiltshire offers the perfect blend of peaceful countryside living and rich cultural heritage. Think rolling hills, character-filled market towns like Salisbury, charming villages, and a strong sense of community—a refreshing contrast to city life and an ideal setting for work-life balance.

If you're ready to join a practice where your skills are valued, your well-being matters, and your career can flourish, I would love to hear from you.
