Flexibility in your working hours


We are open between the hours of 8:30am-6:30pm Monday to Friday and 8:30am to 1pm Saturday. We have available 32 hours over 4 days but are happy to talk to vets wanting fewer hours or a more flexible working pattern. Work/life balance is a priority and there are no on-call requirements with this role, inpatient care only.

Career progression and opportunities


Career progression is available for those who want to develop both clinical and non-clinical skills and one day manage a practice or to continue to grow as a clinician. CPD is encouraged and funded. The team are actively encouraged to develop individual clinical skills and interests. This has led to two Small Animal Medicine Certificates, as well as Physiotherapy and Behaviour, Emergency Critical Care, and Dentistry.

We encourage an open culture to allow our teams to thrive and aim to be the best vets we can be, helping our fantastic clients and their pets.

Our clinical teams function around support and the delivery of high-quality veterinary medicine. We have digital radiography including dental and ultrasound, endoscopes and in house laboratories. Join our team and enjoy Somerset life, whilst creating a job that works for you.

Our ideal candidate


We believe in offering a role that balances being the best vet with having the best personal life, for someone who is excellent at working as part of a team.
