The Beeches is a long‑established, RCVS accredited practice, situated in the well‑connected market town of Melksham, a short drive from the Cotswolds, Longleat and Stonehenge. We are a single‑site, modern and well‑equipped practice, offering high‑quality small animal services with no OOH. We are committed to providing exceptional clinical care to patients and supportive and dedicated services to clients whilst also prioritising staff wellbeing and development.

With over 2,500 clinics and hospitals in 20 countries and around 41,000 employees, we work together to care for around 25,000 animals every day. United by a shared purpose – Healthy Animals, Happy Owners – we're proud to champion long‑term animal health and welfare through the dedication of every individual across our international network.

Find The Next Step In Your Career

You would be joining an easy‑going but hard‑working team of experienced vets and registered veterinary nurses, student nurses and receptionists, under the leadership of an experienced and supportive Practice Director.

We are looking for a confident, friendly veterinary surgeon with a strong team ethic. The vacancy is for a full‑time position but part‑time candidates will be considered. The role involves both consultations and surgical cases. Clinical freedom and following your own cases is encouraged but support is readily offered when needed. There are no OOH requirements with the role, but some Saturday mornings and sole charge duties may be required.
