We are working with a well-established, independently owned veterinary hospital based in Swindon, acting as the central hub for a network of six branch practices. With nearly two centuries of local trust and reputation behind them, the hospital offers a dynamic and varied caseload across first opinion and emergency care.
You'll be working in a true hospital environment with 24/7 facilities, including advanced diagnostics, laser therapy, in-house lab, and modern surgical theatres. The team is collaborative, supportive, and forward-thinking — committed to delivering high clinical standards in a friendly, inclusive setting.
A great option for a vet who wants clinical variety, hospital-level exposure, and the feel of an independent practice that values your input and supports your development.
The role:
This is a genuine ECC-focused position offering the chance to manage and work up emergency cases on-site, with the facilities to support you — including access to CT and full in-house diagnostics. You'll be supported by a highly experienced clinical team, with excellent continuity of care as cases are smoothly handed over to the day team during morning rounds.
Flexible rota patterns are available - ideally 7 on, 14 off, with night shifts running from 6:00pm to 8:30am and an average working week of 31.5 hours. This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet looking for true work-life balance, clinical challenge, and a supportive leadership team that values both personal and professional growth.
The ideal vet:
You will have at least 2 years' experience in small animal practice and be confident handling a mix of urgent and complex cases. Strong communication skills and a commitment to high clinical standards are key.
