Careers

As one of the oldest veterinary practices in Wales, we know a thing or two about helping people to achieve successful careers in the industry. 

We believe in empowering our team with clinical freedom in a fantastic working environment, and pride ourselves on building a close-knit team. Add to that the chance to live in the fantastic south Wales area, with easy access to the coast and beautiful countryside, and a range of benefits including staff days out and fruit Fridays, and we think that Park Vets is the perfect place to set down roots. 

If you are a qualified veterinary surgeon or nurse and are interested in joining our team, please send your CV and covering letter to the Clinical Director team at directors@park-vets.com. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to offer trainee or apprentice positions.
