The role will require you to help shape the future of the branch, develop staff, and support senior management to ensure the site thrives while delivering excellent client and patient care to our large client base. The position is based primarily at Rissington, with three days per week there and one day at another site. Up to £5,000 relocation support is available.

Dragon Vets is located in the heart of Cheltenham, renowned for horse racing and a vibrant bar/restaurant scene. We have invested in specialist equipment – including CT, DR, endoscopy, Doppler ultrasound, laparoscopic and TPLO kits – and provide well‑equipped operating facilities. The team of 16 vets, including advanced practitioners in small animal surgery, cardiology and medicine, delivers evidence‑based care and often performs complex surgeries and intensive medical cases. We have a 24‑hour on‑call service through our separate out‑of‑hours team, Vets Now, and a nursing team of 17 RVNS and 4 SVNs.

I started at Dragon Vets nine years ago as an ACA. After leaving to go to vet school, I was welcomed back into the team as a new graduate vet in 2023. Dragon has given me a supportive and exciting start to my career, and I enjoy working with all the team and am proud to be a part of it. – Sofia, vet.
