Unlock your passions at Bridge Vets
We are a wonderful practice situated within the South Wales valleys which provides easy access to both cities (Newport, Cardiff & Bristol) and countryside. The Brecon Beacons national park is on our doorstep providing opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling and horse riding.
We have a friendly and supportive team of 11 vets, 6 RVNs plus 2 SVNs, 2 nursing assistants and 2 kennel assistants, all of whom have worked with and supported new graduates before. We have 3 CDs who all work in a clinical role so there is a wealth of experience and knowledge available to support new graduates. One of the CDs is a certificate holder in Medicine and is always happy to discuss cases. We also have an additional 2 Vets currently studying for certificates. There is always open discussion of cases amongst all our Vets which is encouraged. Our team of RVNs are also used to their full capabilities which helps in time management for the Vets. Our previous graduates have flourished within our practice and have further developed their own skills within this supportive environment.
Our fantastic practice is fitted with the best equipment and facilities such as x-rays and dental x-rays, ultrasound scanner, endoscopes, Class IV laser, in-house laboratory, separate cat ward as well as a consult room and waiting area.
Step into a supportive start
Our vets work 40 hours per week, over 4 days per week plus 1:7 Saturday morning shifts. We do not work out of hours.
Bridge Vets is experienced in supporting new graduates in their first 2 years in practice and beyond. The graduate will be slowly introduced to the full range of cases presented and will have the opportunity to develop their skills in all areas of the practice. This will be primarily supported by our 3 experienced and knowledgeable Clinical Directors who all work alongside our other Vets in the clinical setting.
