Weekend Veterinary Surgeon

Medivet Llandaff North is looking for a Weekend Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. Come and be part of an exciting new service for our clients. We are looking to offer longer weekend opening hours to support our clients and patient’s needs.

If you are an experienced Veterinary Surgeon that likes ECC, this could be an ideal role for you.

We are offering flexible days; for example, you could either work sole charge Saturday and Sunday (9am to 5pm) with an experienced Veterinary Nurse at our Llandaff North practice, or you could work a Saturday and a weekday or a Sunday and a weekday.

The role will include consulting and carrying out procedures. We have good equipment and facilities at the clinic to be able to see and treat our patients. Our PMS is linked so all histories are available. Our other clinics in the area will still be open on Saturdays for their usual consulting hours; we aim to offer an extended opening time at one branch. During the week, the clinic is run by our Branch Partner who is passionate about client and patient care.

The Llandaff North clinic is accessible by train from Cardiff city centre, with the train station just behind the surgery and located close to junction 32 of the M4. Cardiff is a vibrant city, offering great city life, cultural heritage, and good transport connections close to the M4, Cardiff and Bristol airport, and the central train station. Easy access to the beautiful Brecon Beacons for those who enjoy outdoor activities.
