Experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon

Are you an experienced small animal vet currently looking through job adverts Youve probably noticed they all read the same right Same caseloads same kit same selling points same salary brackets and lets face it most of us in this industry are decent caring people who are great to work with. So why consider us

A Small Animal Role Within a Mixed Practice

This was an awesome point for me when I moved here five years ago coming from a purely small background. I get to focus on the high-end small animal work I love but at the same time I am surrounded by vets doing all sorts of cool things in all sorts of species and I think that brings a real variety and spark to my working week. Not to mention some great transferrable skills and out-of-the-box thinking that emerge from the collaborations of a mixed team. Ive even operated on seals!

Camaraderie and Collaboration

Were very proud of the culture weve built at Rosevean. We actively encourage a collaborative approach to case management and we focus heavily on ensuring our hires are the right fit for the team to keep that friendly family feel the practice has a reputation for. Everyone is surprised at how integrated we are as a mixed practice; no departments no hierarchies no barriers just a group of driven caring individuals trying to do their best and making sure they have a good time as they go (sometimes too good!)

Room to Grow Your Niche

This is a new role not a replacement. Youll be joining two experienced small animal vets a couple of more recent graduates and a great mixed team around you. Whether you want to develop a clinical niche or specialisation focus on mentoring newer graduates or simply do excellent work and then go hit the surf were here for all of it.

An Out of Hours Rota

I know what youre thinking hear me out this is another one were really proud of. Were one of the few practices still running our own OOH service with dedicated night nurses on site and clients seeing the same familiar faces they know from the day. Nobody loves being on call but the professional satisfaction of providing genuine 24/7 care and keeping complex cases in house rather than shipping them off and back is something the whole team values. Its also what lets us take on the more interesting involved cases in the first place.

West Cornwall: A Place Worth Moving For

Rosevean is based in Penzance on the doorstep of some of Britains most spectacular countryside and coastline surf beaches coastal paths a thriving arts and food scene. Life outside work here is exceptional.

What Were Looking For

Our ethos is straightforward: high-quality evidence-based medicine with a great emphasis on contextualised care. Were not interested in a one-size-fits-all approach we want vets who can weigh the evidence understand the individual animal and owner in front of them and make sound clinical decisions be confident in your own clinical judgement comfortable with a varied first-opinion caseload and genuinely enjoy supporting less experienced colleagues. An interest in working towards a postgraduate qualification would be a bonus.
