A bit about us
Carmarthen Veterinary Centre is a purpose-built, award-winning hospital in the heart of West Wales. We're a busy, multi-discipline practice with a highly experienced and supportive team, and we're proud to provide outstanding care across a varied and interesting caseload — including complex orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries, as well as exotics and wildlife.
We're RCVS accredited and hold awards for:
In-patient Service – Outstanding
Client Service – Outstanding
Patient Consultation Service – Good
You'll be working alongside 8 small animal vets and a fantastic nursing and support team who enjoy working collaboratively and making the most of everyone's strengths.
The hospital is well equipped, and we're also excited to be installing a CT scanner later this year, further strengthening our diagnostic capabilities. We're always open to developing the service, and you'll be encouraged to get involved in clinical discussions and decision-making.
We're looking for a vet with 3+ years' experience to join us. If you're confident with consults and general surgery and enjoy working as part of a wider clinical team, we'd love to hear from you.
What's on offer:
A consult/surgery mix, with support for developing your interests
Consult-only options also considered — just let us know what suits
A dedicated MiNightVet team
Visa sponsorship and relocation packages available if you're thinking of a move
We're proud to offer flexibility, development opportunities and the chance to work in a practice that handles a genuinely wide range of cases — ideal if you're looking to keep growing your skills or want to be part of a forward-thinking, caring team.
