As a Veterinary Surgeon at AlphaVets, you’ll grow your skills, be part of a passionate and supportive team, consult, operate, and treat inpatients, or opt for a consulting-only role if you prefer.

Supportive, Skilled and Well‑equipped
Since opening in 1996, AlphaVets has invested heavily in state‑of‑the‑art facilities, and we’re moving our Risca branch into our new purpose‑built practice during 2026.
Risca: 3 consulting rooms, digital x-rays, ultrasound, in‑house lab, sterilisation room, and state‑of‑the‑art dental equipment.
Langstone: Recently refurbished with separate dog and cat wards, dental suite, x‑ray/ultrasound, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and advanced orthopaedic and spinal equipment.
You’ll work alongside a dedicated team of 3 Veterinary Surgeons, experienced nurses, and committed reception staff, including RCVS advanced practitioners and surgical certificate holders. We foster a culture of transparency, personal development, and support, ensuring every team member can thrive.
Flexibility that fits your lifestyle
This is a 12‑month fixed‑term contract. Our flexible approach to rota patterns ensures work‑life balance is achievable, whether you want a standard week of 40 hours, or a bespoke schedule tailored to your lifestyle. We’re also open to part‑time, 3 or 4 days with split time between surgery and consulting.
In return, we ask that you’re a confident communicator, willing to collaborate within the team to help our patients, and passionate about veterinary care.
