You will get the opportunity to see emergency cases and you will be supported by our experienced team.

Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Whether you need reduced working days/hours for hobbies, need to do the school drop off/pick up or would simply like a more flexible rota pattern, we can fix or flex our patterns to suit you - you tell us what you need. 

Typically, the full-time position 40 hours across 4 days with 1:4 Saturdays and no OOH. We would also welcome part time applicants, for example a 3-day week.

Here at Blackwood, we have a supportive team of 2 Vets, one with a very keen interest in internal medicine and imaging and an experienced Vet that has been with the practice for over 10 years, who are both supported by our Head Nurse, 4 RVNS and our 2 wonderful Receptionists. 

Across the group, we have a support network of 2 CDs (surgery certificate holder & orthopaedic interest), Senior Vet (surgery certificate holder), 8 Vets (including an internal medicine certificate holder), 20 RVNs, our progressive Practice Manager & other supporting team members. Our Clinical Directors are readily available to assist with clinical cases and advice. CPD and further learning is actively encouraged and supported. 

South Wales Vets was established over 10 years ago on Malpas Road in Newport and in that time we have grown from one to four branches, with locations in Risca, Abertillery & Blackwood. Here at Blackwood, we have the best of both worlds, with easy access to Cardiff, Bristol, Newport and the Countryside such as the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Blackwood has recently been fully refurbished with a large spacious waiting area, 3 consulting rooms, separate section for cats and dogs in addition to a warming, welcoming reception area. Additionally, our clinical area has cat and dog inpatient wards and excellent surgical facilities.

 

We have digital x-ray, ultrasound, in house laboratory, superior surgery suite with separate imaging and dental rooms along with an open plan prep area.
