Candidates should have experience in routine veterinary practice and a surgical bias is preferred. The role is ideal for those looking to develop their skills and potentially step into a Lead Vet position.
Job Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our well established, highly respected practice in Camborne.
We're looking for an experienced Vet who is confident in routine practice, enjoys building relationships with clients, and is keen to contribute to a supportive, collaborative team. Finding the right person to complement the team is our priority.
At CVS, we put our colleagues first, giving you the support you need to provide the best possible care. From clinical to non-clinical challenges, you'll always have the resources and teams alongside you. We'll be your biggest supporter – it's in our nature.

Why Join Us?
You'll be joining a talented team of three vets, including an Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Medicine, alongside colleagues holding certificates in Cardiology and Oncology. This provides a fantastic environment for clinical discussion, learning and development.
We would particularly welcome applications from vets with a surgical bias who are keen to further develop their skills within a practice that maintains high clinical standards and invests in its people.
For those with aspirations to progress, there is genuine potential to take on line management responsibilities and develop leadership skills.
