The role

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.

Our practice is spread across two sites at Baschurch and Wrexham, enabling us to provide 24-hour veterinary care across a wide geographical area. Fyrnwy Equine Group comprises a large specialist equine hospital alongside a comprehensive ambulatory service, delivering exceptional care to horses throughout Shropshire, North Wales and Cheshire.

Practice Highlights

As an RCVS-accredited practice, we are passionate about clinical excellence and delivering a professional, efficient and compassionate service to every patient. Our caseload is incredibly varied, ranging from elite competition and breeding horses to hunters, leisure horses and much-loved family ponies.

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.

You'll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You'll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.

This is an excellent opportunity for a vet with a keen interest in orthopaedics and equine dentistry, while also enjoying the diversity of ambulatory equine practice.

A dedicated nursing team including two qualified Equine Veterinary Nurses and two Student Veterinary Nurses.
