Proudly locally owned with full autonomy, we focus on team wellbeing with a fully flexible rota, varied caseload and a fabulous beach location - What’s not to love!

Our Environment

Our practice has been locally owned and run by Rhiannon, BvetMed (Hons) CertAVP MRCVS, since opening in 2018. Rhiannon qualified in 2012 from the Royal Veterinary College and has experience and a special interest in emergency medicine and procedures, as well as a keen interest in exotics, and of course her teams’ wellbeing too!
Proud owners of an ISFM Silver Certificate Cat Friendly Clinic award, a RAW Silver Rabbit Friendly award and an approved RCVS small animal practice, we also have all the facilities and equipment you’d expect from a thriving GP small animal practice.

Our Culture

But it’s our team that really makes us stand out! Rhiannon is supported by a great team of longstanding colleagues, including a high ratio of nurse to vet support from a team of nurses who utilise their skills to their full potential, including schedule 3. Not forgetting our brilliant students, VCA, client care team and practice manager!
We really are like family and are looking forward to welcoming a new vet with open arms. We’re a collaborative team where everyone has their say and input, whether that’s ad-hoc or in our regular monthly meetings (or socials!).

The Role

As Laura will be relocating soon, we’re looking for a good natured, experienced veterinary surgeon to join us in looking after our furry friends when she’s gone!
This is a balanced role with surgery and medicine and some sole charge, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to practice your skills and learn new ones. As a solid GP practice with a varied caseload, you can expect to work at a steady pace with standard consults given 15 minutes and all other appointments ½ an hour.
We’re in the unique position of offering hours that are framed to suit you and your needs and are therefore happy to discuss a rota that works for your lifestyle. It’s important to us that our colleagues can enjoy an excellent work/life balance and we try our best to make sure this is the case.

Excellent benefits

In addition to a rewarding role in a superb location you can also expect to receive:

• Competitive salary of up to 65k depending on experience
• Flexible rota
• No OOH
• Paid holiday of 28 days, rising to 33 days after 2 years of service
• Paid professional memberships
• Dedicated CPD allowance and time off, including funding towards certificates
• Life assurance 4 x annual salary
• Contributory pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Team socials
• Colleague reward hub – exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street, including 20% off at Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room
  And there’s more!

The practice is very close to St Michael's Mount as well as some fantastic beaches, so much so you can even enjoy a lunchtime walk along the seafront. With a coastal path running from Penzance to St Ives, you can really enjoy the outdoors on your days off from the practice. Further afield, Newquay Airport is just 1 hour away, and there is also a direct train to London Paddington from Penzance station.
And for anyone interested in relocating to this fabulous area, we’re also offering a relocation allowance* of up to £2,000 so there’s no barrier to taking up this unmissable opportunity! *direct applications only

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. 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!
