South Wales Equine Vets are an equine practice covering the South & West Wales.

We are looking for an equine vet to join the team at our Cardiff Branch, near Cowbridge. You would be part of a young and social team. The position is mainly ambulatory based, however we do have an ever expanding clinic to allow you to work up cases fully. We are seeking a permanent, experienced ambulatory vet to join the team, but we would consider a keen and enthusiastic less experienced vet. We are looking for a team player who has excellent communication skills and want to build their own client base whilst developing their professional skills.

We also work closely with the B&W Equine Hospital in Gloucester who offer a fully equipped equine hospital supported by Surgical, Medical, Imaging and Sports Medicine Diplomats with a hassle free referral process for those cases requiring further interventions and the use of advanced imaging modalities.

We encourage CPD both external and internal and are committed to continuing to improve the skillset of our vets. We encourage you to work up your own cases, so if there is something you need extra support with then this is available. Our aim is to assist our vets to become the well-rounded, experienced vets of the future.
