South Moor Equine Vets

At South Moor Vets, we can trace our history back in time to when the vet would do their rounds using a horse and cart! We are an independently owned, well established, dynamic team of dedicated equine vets. Due to an upcoming maternity leave we are looking for an experienced equine vet to join our team (permanent or maternity cover considered).

We have 5 equine vets (PT and FT), three of whom are certificate holders (Equine Medicine, Equine Practice and Equine Repro) and another is working towards a certificate. One of the great things about our practice, is that rather than being a small ambulatory team, you will be part of the much larger, young and supportive South Moor Vets team of 47 vets and 130 members of staff. There are all sorts of regular social events, surfing, horse rides, swims etc, to make the most of our wonderful area in South Devon, spanning from coast to moor.

We are purely ambulatory but keen to grow into a clinic of our own when the opportunity arises. We have full video endoscopy, digital radiography, ultrasound, surgical laser etc as you would expect.

Our ideal candidate:

- Experienced

- Keen to help grow and build the equine practice.

- Someone who wants to work as part of a team.

- Provide excellent care for our clients and patients.

- A certificate holder or working towards a certificate

- We would like someone with an interest in lameness to compliment the interests of the rest of the team, but this isn’t vital.

What we can offer you:

- Excellent salary based on experience/skills.

- A fun, friendly team with a genuine work/life balance, meaning you can actually enjoy everything the South Hams has to offer.

- Strong team culture

- Our full-time rota is 4 days a week, with a 1 in 5 out of hours rota including weekends.

- Vehicle can be provided.

- Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay

- Generous CPD allowance.

- Private health insurance

- Birthday off

- List of other ‘work perks’

- Regular ‘one to ones’ with a director and annual appraisals

- Discounted care for your own horses/pets.

-Cycle to work/electric car schemes

- Paid time off for charity work

- Previously gained the BVA Great Workplaces silver award

- XLVets member practice with all the associated benefits.
