NEWTOWNARDS
Come and join our friendly team!
Are you a vet who enjoys good clinical work, nice colleagues and the occasional bit of craic?
We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our established first-opinion GP practice in Newtownards.
We’re currently a team of 2 full-time vets and 1 part-time vet, supported by 4 RVNs and 3 client care team members, including our team manager.
We’re proud of the care we provide, but we also believe that work should be somewhere you enjoy coming to. We’re a friendly bunch who look out for each other, have a laugh when we can and genuinely care about our patients, clients and colleagues.
So, who are we looking for?
Honestly, we're much more interested in who you are as a person than whether your CV ticks every single box.
You’ll be someone who:
- Is a confident and capable GP vet who enjoys a varied caseload.
- Cares about doing a good job and providing great patient care.
- Is kind, approachable and good with people.
- Can get on with things independently but is happy to lend a hand when someone else needs it.
- Is reliable and hardworking, but understands that sometimes life happens.
- Can have a laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re happy to support the right person and help you develop in the areas that interest you.
The role:
We are ideally looking for a full-time vet working 35 hours per week, but we’re also very open to two part-time positions if that works better for the right people and for the practice.
- 35 hours per week, with one weekday off
- Part-time hours also considered
- 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
- No OOH or Sunday working
- CPD allowance, including support towards certificates (training agreement required)
- Competitive salary, dependent on experience
- Private health insurance (opt-in required)
- Professional memberships paid
- Company discounts and rewards
