Are you an experienced Farm Vet looking for more autonomy, more impact, and more satisfaction in your career? Tired of the same routine and ready to shape your future in a supportive, forward-thinking team? This is your chance to join a thriving practice in the heart of dairy country — Somerset and East Devon.

Join a modern, farm-animal-only practice where collaboration, quality care, and continuous development are at the heart of everything. You’ll work alongside a highly experienced team of vets, vet techs, and ATT support staff, meaning more time doing what you love — delivering top-tier clinical care.

Here’s what makes this role stand out:

Clinical Autonomy: Lead the way in delivering best practice — your input and leadership matter.

Career Progression: Get support for post-grad qualifications and CPD that fuels your passion.

Diverse Caseload: From 30+ routine dairy visits to beef, sheep, and youngstock — variety is guaranteed.

Team Ethos: Work in a genuinely happy, tight-knit team that values collaboration and communication.

Community Engagement: Contribute to farmer training and discussion groups — make a real difference.


This isn’t just another job — it’s a career-defining opportunity. You'll be based near Taunton, nestled between the stunning Quantock and Blackdown Hills with easy access to the Jurassic Coast. The out-of-hours rota is sensible (1 in 6), the working culture is flexible, and the team has even earned a 3-star B-Heard rating for employee happiness.

What’s in it for you?

A generous salary package aligned with your experience and leadership potential

Flexible working options — let’s build a role that works for you

Clear CPD support and encouragement of post-grad study

A positive, respected, and genuinely happy workplace
