Veterinary Surgeon - Farm
Kernow Veterinary Group | Bodmin Salary up to £65,000 DOE and relocation allowance up to £2,000
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
Kernow Vets are seeking a confident Farm Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, supportive team. We work closely with the local farming community, delivering practical, sustainable care that supports livestock health and the long-term success of our clients’ businesses, where strong relationships matter as much as clinical skill.
The role offers a varied caseload including TB testing, routine and preventative work, herd health planning, emergency care, dispensary tasks and regular client contact, with artificial insemination (mainly cattle) also included. You’ll work with a diverse client base, from smallholdings to larger beef, sheep and mixed farms.
This is primarily an ambulatory position, so a full driving licence is required. You’ll be fully equipped with a vehicle, mobile and laptop, with access to practice facilities when needed. The role includes sole charge and participation in the on-call rota, managing both planned and emergency work. A TB testing qualification is essential.
You’ll be part of an experienced farm team of vets, supported by a dedicated TB testing team, ACA, vet tech and client care colleagues, all working collaboratively in an open, supportive environment where work-life balance is respected and time off in lieu helps keep workloads fair.

You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
