Career Opportunities at Drove

Dr Lynne Gaskarth

At Drove we are keen to invest in the development of our staff. We are a Tier 3 RCVS training Hospital and are always looking for good people to join our team, so please get in touch for a chat even if none of the vacancies shown below are a direct match.

Please send your CV to hr@drovevets.co.uk.

  • All Vets & Nurses complete a specific amount of Continual Professional Development (CPD) throughout the year as specified by The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
  • Many vets are also studying for further post graduate qualifications working alongside our existing certificate holders to provide exceptional care for your animals.
  • We believe that all members of staff should be fully trained for the role they perform and are committed to ensuring that everyone is supported in their development.

Marlborough, Swindon, Wiltshire

Four day week full time or part time optional, hospital support and involvement, no OOH

We are looking for a vet with some experience to join our proudly independent veterinary group.

You’ll be based at our thriving Marlborough surgery with an established client base and consistent support staff. Marlborough is a beautiful market town with easy access to motorways and the Wiltshire countryside.

You’ll be working alongside owners who are passionate about supporting colleagues as individuals, providing flexible working patterns and structured career development. We have a BVA Wellbeing Award on our mantelpiece and are passionate about helping you thrive both professionally and personally.

We tell our clients we’re big enough to handle anything unexpected and small enough to know them and their family by name – and that’s reflected for our team, with the opportunity to learn and grow while feeling part of a family.

As a branch vet you will manage your own medical and surgical caseload, while also having full support and involvement with our state of the art hospital in Swindon. Here you will have the opportunity to work alongside certificate holders in medicine, ophthalmology, surgery and imaging and have access to excellent facilities including CT.

We are a host practice for an OOH team, meaning we can maintain high professional standards of care day and night, but with no OOH commitments for yourself.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills and client care to share our passion for the highest quality clinical standards and client service.

We are a friendly, sociable and forward-thinking team and have active steering groups involved in our sustainability, clinical standards, wellbeing and social activities.

We have a staff recognition scheme where nominees can receive both thanks and rewards and we hugely encourage a sense of humour, enjoyment and a sense of community at work!

For more information please contact Lynne on 01793 522483 for an informal conversation, or send your CV and covering letter to hr@drovevets.co.uk.
