Maternity cover starting October 2025 - Supported by a great team of longstanding colleagues, enjoy real job satisfaction and a superb work environment at Bishopston Vets for Pets! By joining us on a fixed term basis, not only will you enjoy a superb work/life balance, but you'll also benefit from our recent renovations that have enhanced our workspace, providing a lovely office and staff room for your comfort and well-being, as well as the already spacious facilities. The role One of our experienced vets will shortly be taking maternity leave so we're looking for a good-natured veterinary surgeon to join us in looking after our furry friends while she's away! This is a balanced role with surgery and medicine and as a solid GP practice we work at a steady pace, with booster's given 15 minutes and all other appointments ½ an hour. There's lots of admin time factored into the diary too, again promoting a healthy pace of work and support to the team and our patients alike. Ideally your rota will cover Monday to Thursday 8:30am to 7pm and 1 in 3 Saturday morning's 9am to 12pm, but if this doesn't quite match what you're looking for we'd still love to hear from you.
