About us
Pontypridd Vets for Pets is a busy first-opinion small animal practice with a stable and supportive team. We aim to create an environment where vets enjoy their work and have the support needed to provide first class medicine to the clients and community in our care.
Our practice owner Andreea is a real advocate for her teams’ wellbeing, having opened the practice in 2016 and gone on to completing a Veterinary Leadership and Management Diploma focusing on developing teams and supporting mental health in the workplace, ensuring a culture and environment to be proud of.
Your working day
Our days are therefore well structured with an emphasis on your wellbeing and a good practice culture, as well as providing exceptional care to our clients. We do 15-minute consults as standard and you’ll have a friendly, supportive team of 2-3 nurses, VCA and receptionist on with you each day you work
The position available is flexible but ideally it will include 2 days a week, 9am-7pm Wednesday and Thursday with no out of hours or weekends.
We also work very closely with our sister practice in Llantrisant so not only do you have the full support of Andreea and the team in Pontypridd, there’s also additional support from our team there and the potential to work across both sites if desired.
About you
In joining our team(s) and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for a solid all-rounder, a vet with GP and sole charge experience and a team player with great communication skills and someone who shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.

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!
