Job Description

PDSA is a special organisation that provides expert veterinary care for people across the UK who otherwise would not be able to afford to treat their pets. What we do really matters!


Because we are always adapting our services to peaks and troughs in demand, we would like to talk to qualified vets who would like to work with us flexibly at our Southampton Hospital - perhaps you can only commit short term or to a few shifts here and there because of other commitments? We are open to working with you on an ad hoc basis to suit your needs.


You will still experience a varied diagnostic and surgical caseload as well as consult work but you will be able to control exactly when you work.

About our Hospitals

Our hospital veterinary teams have varied clinical interests which means you will have access to a wide pool of knowledge and experience with which to discuss cases and treatment plans.


Our Pet Hospitals are modern and well-equipped and include separate dog and cat kennelling facilities, in-house radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, piped gases and extensive orthopaedic equipment. The size of our teams allows for a flexible approach to weekend rotas and any out of hours required, with enhanced pay and stand down time in the week when a weekend is worked.

PDSA is committed to embedding a culture of diversity and inclusion within our teams that reflect the communities we serve. We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. We offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies and opportunities for flexible working arrangements to support team members from different backgrounds.


If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessibility, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss via email or telephone reasonable adjustments that you may require throughout the recruitment process.


We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, adults at risk and all our colleagues and expect everyone who works for us to also share this commitment and to treat people with courtesy and respect.


To support this commitment, our recruitment & selection processes are robust and rigorous. All appointments will be subject to satisfactory references and appropriate background checks.
