CVS Group New Graduate Vet Programme - Small Animal

Are you looking for a complete graduate programme, designed by experienced vets, which will fully support you in your first years in practice?

The CVS New Graduate Programme is tailor-made, offering you the right support network in practice by ensuring you have an experienced VetGDP Adviser working alongside you. In addition, you will attend dedicated Continued Professional Development (CPD) days, supporting the development of both your clinical and non-clinical skills, including self-leadership, teamwork, wellbeing, resilience and business, whilst also providing the opportunity for you to share experiences with fellow graduates. 

CVS is also committed to supporting the wellbeing and mental health of all our employees. We aim to create a culture where employees can talk openly and honestly about their wellbeing and mental health and to report difficulties without fear of discrimination or reprisal. CVS is the only veterinary corporate that employs New Graduate Pastoral Support Vets (PSVs). They are available to you for direct pastoral support outside of your practice, and they also work closely with practice leaders and VetGDP Advisers, to help ensure that you receive the best possible experience within practice.

a network of Wellbeing Champions/First Aiders for Mental Health who can provide initial support and signposting within practice. an Employee Assistance Programme that is available 24/7 days a year. They have a confidential helpline staffed by trained counsellors to support not only you but also your immediate family when you need it the most. five Colleague EDI Groups with focuses on Ability & Neurodiversity, Ethnicity, Gender, LGBTQ+ and Social Mobility. Our focus is on making CVS a great place to work and to have a career for everyone, no matter who you are, your background, or how you identify. a Wellbeing Calendar for colleagues featuring topics such as resilience, exercise, sleep, stress. a new CVS Refresh reward scheme where teams receive a weekly allowance to spend on treats or classes

We are one of the leading integrated veterinary service providers. We have practices in the UK, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland and Australia and we put our people first. Our purpose is to give the best possible care to animals and our vision is to be the veterinary company people most want to work for.
