Four days at work. No nights. And a CT scanner when your case needs more than first-opinion diagnostics.

This independent practice, within easy reach of Bristol, offers a 40-hour, four-day week, no night duties and only a 1:5 weekend rota, alongside the facilities and clinical team to take first-opinion cases considerably further.

You’ll join a 13-vet team with certificate holders across surgery, ECC, cardiology, dermatology and feline medicine.

And when you want another opinion on a case, there’s someone around to ask.

Clinically, you’ll have access to:

  • Brand-new CT

  • Two operating theatres

  • Dedicated imaging suite

  • Endoscopy

  • Dental suite and dental X-ray

  • Separate cat and dog facilities and wards

The practice is looking for an experienced vet comfortable managing their own first-opinion caseload.

You don’t need a certificate. If you want one, however, they’ll fully fund it. There’s also no fixed CPD budget, with development considered around what will genuinely benefit you and your caseload.

On Offer: 

  • Up to £70,000 DOE

  • 40 hours over 4 days

  • No nights or OOH

  • 1:5 weekends

  • 5 weeks’ holiday + bank holidays

  • Certificates fully funded

  • No fixed CPD budget

  • RCVS + VDS paid

  • On-site parking

You’ll be based around 20-30 minutes from Bristol, so you’ve got easy access to the city while still being close to the coast and Somerset countryside.

You don’t need to be actively job hunting. If the four-day week has caught your attention, get in touch and I’ll happily tell you more confidentially.
