About us:
We are a busy first opinion practice and we see a very varied caseload. Our two branches based in Cardiff are just 3 miles apart and both have full surgical and diagnostic facilities including in-house laboratory equipment, ultrasound, digital x-rays including dental x-rays and anaesthetic monitoring equipment such as pulse oximeters and capnographs. We also have a therapeutic laser.
Our fantastic and skilled team consists of 8 FTE vets including 2 x VetGDP mentors, 12 RVN’s, 2 SVN’s and 3 ANA’s plus our lovely reception team.
Why work with us? – from the horse’s mouth – this is what our team has to say…..
“Since starting as a New Graduate vet at St David, I've seen a wide range of medical and surgical cases. Although given the freedom to work these up myself, the friendly support of a more senior vet was never far away if needed."
"Everyone helps each other out, regular practice meetings where everyone can have a say on things to improve, very approachable managers, super supportive nursing team, proactive reception team and a relaxed atmosphere."
“The team as a whole, from management down to our wonderful kennel assistants are supportive and helpful and I honestly feel like I'm working with friends every day!!!”
“I wouldn't wish for a better team to work with!”
The Area
Cardiff, our beautiful capital, is a great place to live and work with all the advantages of city life but small and compact enough to feel friendly and easy to explore. What makes it so special is it’s mix of old and new culture, a vibrant food scene and major events but also easy access to the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and beautiful coastline of South Wales.
Cardiff is a highly accessible city with its very own airport; high-speed rail links from London and the M4 motorway passes the north of the city.
By now, we hope, you will have realised that St. David is an excellent environment to build a career.
