At Inspiring Vet Care
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.
We are an RCVS accredited small animal hospital and hold ISFM gold standard cat friendly status as well as the silver rabbit friendly award. The team are also currently working towards the dog friendly award.
We recently refurbished a number of areas within the practice, including our cat only dedicated side of the building. Why not come and have a look around?
We Have:
- Purpose-built building - separate dog and cat waiting rooms, kennels, prep areas and separate theatres
- On-site CT Scanner
- Video endoscopy
- Digital x-ray
- Dedicated Dental suite with new dental x-ray machine
- Colour flow doppler ultrasound
- Separate exotics ward.
- Oxygen kennels
- Slit lamp bio-microscope, Tonometry and cryotherapy
- Dedicated 'farewell' rooms
- Large on-site carpark for staff and clients
- Lunch area and separate Staff mindfulness room - with a do-not-disturb policy
There is no sole charge as there are a minimum of 3 vets working each day, with at least 2 vets operating (2 separate theatres, plus separate dental and imaging suites). We have a large, experienced team who support each other sharing case knowledge and advice daily. We have 2 consult only vets so we would ideally be looking for a vet who also enjoys surgery. Flexible appointment length based on case requirements.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Shift patterns cover varying portions of our opening hours: 8-7pm. Plus Saturdays 8:30-1pm.
