We have a great opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and knowledgeable team!
Quantock Vets have been providing outstanding care to the pets of Bridgwater and Nether Stowey since 1985.
The Team:
Due to our exciting expansion, we are looking to grow our wonderful team. We are a well-established team who are looking for a friendly and approachable team player to join us.
Ideally, we are looking for someone with experience as we are also a teaching hospital and cater to new graduates.
Our team really are everything to us and so it is very important that as we get busier, we neither want to compromise our patient care or burn out our current staff. Therefore, we are looking to welcome an additional Vet to the team to assist with this, hopefully that’s where you come in!
The Role:
We are looking for a vet to work alongside our current team – ideally full-time but part-time will be considered.

- 4-day week with the same day off in the week if preferred
- Weekends are worked on a rota basis between our full-time vets (1:6 full weekend, 1:6 half weekend- which may become more diluted as we get more staff)
- No OOH as we run our own dedicated out of hours service for the area and no Bank holidays
- If you have a special interest, we would like to support you with this
*We will also consider a Consult only vet if that suits you.
