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.
