If you’re looking for a role where flexibility is genuinely understood and supported, and where you’ll be part of a warm, close-knit veterinary team, we’d love to hear from you. We’re currently seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join us during an exciting period of growth — with true flexibility at the heart of how we work.

Why join us?

At Vets for Pets Merthyr Tydfil, we don’t just talk about flexibility — we build it into everything we do. We understand that life doesn’t fit neatly around a rota, so we actively shape part-time, flexible, and balanced schedules that work for our people as much as our patients.

Whether you’re looking for reduced hours, school-friendly shifts, or a better work–life rhythm, we’re open and understanding. We believe great veterinary work happens when people feel supported, not stretched.

Our team & culture

We’re a strong, supportive and genuinely close-knit nursing and vet team where collaboration comes naturally. People look out for one another, communicate openly, and share a real sense of purpose in the work we do.

Our culture is built on:

  • Psychological safety and open communication
  • Mutual respect and kindness
  • A team where everyone has a voice 
  • Shared wins, shared challenges, and shared success 

We actively support each other so that everyone can thrive professionally while also having space for life outside of work. This is a practice where you’re encouraged to be yourself, develop at your own pace, and feel part of something meaningful.

What makes us different?

  • True flexibility, part-time, or bespoke working patterns welcomed
  • No out-of-hours (OOH) – protecting your time, rest, and wellbeing
  • Salary up to £66,000 DOE (FTE)
  • A modern, well-equipped practice designed to help you do your best work
  • Strong, experienced nursing team and supportive colleagues
  • Generous CPD allowance with real opportunities for development
  • A culture that prioritises wellbeing, teamwork, and sustainability in your career

The town also benefits from:
