An exciting opportunity has arisen for 2 x Small Animal Veterinary Surgeons to join our friendly and supportive team at Vine Tree Vets. Whether you're looking for full-time or part-time hours, we’re keen to hear from compassionate vets who thrive in a collaborative environment and are looking to grow their clinical skills.

What’s on offer?

We offer flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Our full-time role is 40 hours per week, worked over four days (8:30am–7:00pm), with a 1 in 4 Saturday morning rota and time off in lieu.

If you're looking for a part-time role, we're happy to tailor the hours to suit you – whether it’s specific days or shorter shifts, we’ll work with you to create the right balance.

There’s no out-of-hours or bank holiday work, as we do not provide an emergency service.

About Us

Vine Tree Vets is situated in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley, with easy access to the Forest of Dean, Bath, Gloucester, Bristol, and the Cotswolds. Our modern, purpose-built practice was thoughtfully converted from a former pub in 2015 and supports a varied and busy small animal caseload.

We’re proud of our well-equipped facilities, which include:

• Two consulting rooms
• Operating theatre
• Imaging suite with digital X-ray, dental X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy
• Main prep area
• Cat-only prep room with direct access to the cattery
• Separate dog ward

Our Team

We’re a close-knit, experienced team made up of 3 Vets, 1 HVN, 4 RVNs, 3 Receptionists and a Practice Manager. Many of our team members have been with us for years - one for over 25!

Creating a positive, inclusive and supportive working culture is central to who we are. Whether it’s pub nights, theatre trips or garden centre visits, we believe in spending time together outside of work to stay connected. We also take mental health seriously and foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.
