Our 14-vet team, including certificate holders in Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Small Animal Surgery, Dermatology and Dentistry, plus up to date equipment including CT scanner, full dental suite and lab means that we can provide our clients with comprehensive care. 

CPD encouraged as we are very keen for staff to develop themselves to their maximum potential. Certificate enrolment encouraged and funded.

The Practice 

Bay Vet Group is an independently owned, RCVS accredited, 100% companion animal practice on the South coast of Devon, we are proud to have served the local pet community for over 50 years. 

This will be our sixth year with our new graduate programme; we aim to provide a supportive environment in which to hone the skills learned at Veterinary school in the transition from university to companion animal practice. We have 3 VetGDP advisors to support our new graduates. 

Over the last few years, the practice has invested heavily and are now proud to be able to offer CT, digital radiography, quality ultrasound scanners (Including Doppler), quality anaesthetic monitoring equipment, excellent surgical and consulting facilities including three dental suites, full IDEXX laboratory facilities, microscopy, endoscopy and laparoscopy. Most importantly we pride ourselves on our excellent team of experienced clinicians with the added expertise of certificate holders in Cardiology, Dermatology, Small animal surgery, ophthalmology and dentistry. 

We have a really friendly team and encourage socialisation together outside of work.  We hold many social events such as barbeques, meals and our infamous Christmas party. 

Our practices are based in Teignmouth, Torquay, Chelston, Newton Abbot and Paignton with our main surgery being located in Dawlish. South Devon offers one of the best, quality of life areas to live in; our practices are all within a mile of great beaches! Water sports in and on water available locally including sailing, surfing, kite surfing and sea kayaking, with many good local clubs. Dartmoor is a 15 minutes’ drive away which is great for hiking, horse-riding and cycling. The city of Exeter is only a 20-minute drive away, and good transport links gives easy access to London and the rest of the UK. 

This is a rare opportunity to be involved in an independent practice surrounded by a motivated supportive team helping you to do the work you are trained to do or get back to loving being a vet again!
