Come and Join Our Welcoming Team!

We are looking for a confident Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our wonderful team at Wellpets, Worle. You will be warmly welcomed into our lovely team, in our cosy farm-house practice, where we pride ourselves on running clinics that meet the needs of our local community. We are happy to support anyone looking to relocate to the area.

We are happy to discuss both full time (usually over 4 days) or part time hours for this role. There are no OOH duties and we can discuss flexibility within your rota to allow for a healthy work/life balance. The Saturday rota is 1 in 2 mornings working 8.30am-12.30pm and we are well supported by our local friendly OOH service provider. Let us know what your dream working hours are and lets see if we can make that your reality!

Although this is a sole-charge position, we have an excellent network of local IVC practices with whom we can collaborate. Our Yeovil branch of Wellpets is readily accessible for discussing clinical cases and offering mutual support via phone or video conference. Despite the independent nature of the role, you will have the benefit of a strong support system. We also work closely with Vale Portishead which is a hospital and the team would be involved in clinical club meetings

Modern Equipment

We have modern equipment of general practice at our disposal : Idexx haematology and biochemistry, microscopy, ultrasound with doppler, digital xray DR system, dental DR, multiparameter monitor, electrocautery and a therapeutic laser machine.

We run a well structured diary which leads to a calm and efficient working day. This gives you quality time with your patients for 1:1 care. Our superb nursing team are encouraged to contribute at every level, building great relations with our loyal clients.

We are hoping to find someone with a positive contribution to make, fresh ideas and a collaborative approach to growing the practice, allowing you as a talented vet to enjoy your role to the full.
