"I believe that when a team feels supported and valued, they do their best work—and that’s what our patients deserve." Andrea Ionescubio, Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

About Us

Pontypridd Vets for Pets is a busy first-opinion small animal practice with a stable and supportive team. We aim to create an environment where vets enjoy their work and have the support needed to provide first class medicine to the clients and community in our care.

Our practice owner Andreea is a real advocate for her teams’ wellbeing, having opened the practice in 2016 and gone on to completing a Veterinary Leadership and Management Diploma focusing on developing teams and supporting mental health in the workplace, ensuring a culture and environment to be proud of.

Your working day

Our days are therefore well structured with an emphasis on your wellbeing and a good practice culture, as well as providing exceptional care to our clients. We do 15‑minute consults as standard and you’ll have a friendly, supportive team of 2‑3 nurses, VCA and receptionist on with you each day you work.

The position available is flexible but ideally it will include 2 days a week, 9am‑7pm Wednesday and Thursday with no out of hours or weekends.

We also work very closely with our sister practice in Llantrisant so not only do you have the full support of Andreea and the team in Pontypridd, there’s also additional support from our team there and the potential to work across both sites if desired.
