Here at Phoenix Vets we are a two site 4 Vet practice that are well-established in the local area. We are excited to now be able to recruit and welcome a New Graduate Veterinary Surgeon to join our team of likeminded, forward-thinking Vets on a Permanent basis.

Our main branch is situated in tree-lined Camberley, and supported by our nearby Sandhurst branch. We are so proud of our compassionate team - our people are our best asset. As for our clients – we love them! They're proactive, loyal and they adore their pets.

We take our patient care standards seriously; clinical discussions are frequent and encouraged, and valued highly as a source of ongoing learning for us all. This ethos combined with our majority insured client base (and all the usual equipment including digital x-ray, ultrasound, rigid scope, tonopen, EPOC) gives us the opportunity to work up a wealth of interesting cases to a very high standard, and to provide a level of patient care that we can be truly proud of. As our New Graduate Vet you will be automatically enrolled onto our New Graduate Programme starting in August 2021.

This is what some of our vets on the CVS Graduate Programme say:

“Throughout my first year as a new graduate on the CVS Graduate Scheme I have felt very supported both in my practice and externally through being a part of CVS . The practical CPD we get to do is definitely my favourite part as it also provides an opportunity to network with other fellow graduates while covering some essential topics for first opinion practice . I would highly recommend the programme to any new graduate as it provides a supported and structured start into your veterinary career.”

“My favourite part of working as a new graduate vet for CVS are the opportunities offered by such a large cooperation . The experience and possibilities are great when you are trying to find your own path according to your passion. The CPD offered is also invaluable and there is a great support network.”
