Are you a Small Animal Vet with a passion for exotics? Want to work in a state-of-the-art hospital surrounded by a supportive, growing team — and only a short drive from the Cotswolds’ rolling hills and the motorway? This is your chance to combine advanced clinical practice with an enviable lifestyle.

This modern, RCVS-accredited hospital has recently undergone a major refurbishment and now boasts 4 surgical theatres, an imaging suite, on-site CT, and a fully equipped lab staffed by dedicated technicians. You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team of 20 vets — including certificate holders across various disciplines — with a diverse caseload that offers both challenge and reward.

Your focus will be on exotics, working alongside a highly experienced colleague in a practice that already sees a well-established caseload of small mammals, reptiles, and avian patients. Whether you're looking to deepen your specialism or explore new avenues, there’s space to develop and grow.

You’ll enjoy an environment where wellbeing and connection matter — from pancake days and darts nights to summer socials and CPD fully supported. Work-life balance is real here, with flexible options including part-time and job share roles available.

And the benefits? Expect a competitive salary of £55,000–£70,000 DOE, 6.6 weeks of annual leave, a £1,750 CPD budget (with certificates encouraged), private health contributions, enhanced family leave, paid professional memberships, generous staff discounts, and structured career development support. Not to mention perks on everything from travel to tech.

Ready to explore a role where your exotic interest won’t be sidelined — but celebrated? Apply today or get in touch for a confidential chat. We’d love to tell you more and arrange a tour of the facilities. Whether you’re actively looking or just curious, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for.
