An unmissable opportunity within a successful longstanding practice.
A part-time role to share the Saturday rota with flexibility on the hours/days
Independently run by Tom & Delyth with the support of a steady happy team
A solid flow of varied cases (including orthopaedic cases) if you wish to develop under Tom’s mentorship
We have an unmissable opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, longstanding team at Llanrumney Vets4Pets. Our practice has been established for 12 years and we pride ourselves not only on the care we provide our patients and clients but also the care of our team. We firmly believe that professionalism and clinical excellence can run alongside a happy and even laid-back environment whilst still striving for the highest standards. We are proud of our staff retention rates which are unheard of in veterinary practice generally, and we feel this care of our team as well as the opportunities we provide are key in achieving this.
What really makes Vets4Pets different to corporate practices, is that each practice is run locally. We make our own decisions for the needs of our patients and team and are not dictated to on any decisions we make – whether this be regards purchasing equipment or medication, making staff or supplier decisions. This hasn’t been well communicated in the past but is a really important feature of our practice to understand.
Llanrumney Vets4Pets is a busy first opinion practice that has a very loyal client base, a high proportion of insured clients and a demographic who are typically very receptive to being led by their vet. We very much believe in work life balance. Whilst we have received the “Outstanding” category in the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme for the past 11 years and we have multiple certificate holders and see a large number of complex orthopaedic cases, we also close Monday to Friday at 6pm and utilise VetsNow for all out of hours cases.
We understand that everyone’s lives and therefore priorities vary and recognise the need to offer flexibility in this role. To reflect this, whilst we are looking ideally for a Saturday vet (9am-12pm only!), it may be that alternate Saturdays with additional hours in the week are preferable. We are open to considering how we could adapt our needs to match yours.
Along with flexible working and joining a fantastic practice you can also expect excellent nursing support with an experienced team who have grown with the practice over the years. We don’t feel the need to say we have lots of cake like so many adverts; we do but if it’s cake that is the main draw to a job that’s a pretty poor show!
In addition to a rewarding role with flexibility of working hours/days you can also expect to receive:
1. Competitive salary (65-72k pro rata)
2. Genuinely supportive team (but without the forced fun element!)
3. No out of hours allowing for a healthy work / life balance
4. Paid professional memberships including RCVS and VDS
5. Life assurance 4 x annual salary
6. Contributory pension scheme
7. Colleague reward hub – exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street, including 20% off at Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
