About us
The Ark Veterinary Practice is a friendly, welcoming first opinion practice in Stratford-upon-Avon, with a strong local reputation for high-quality small animal care and the kind of client relationships that last. We’re a proud member of the VetPartners family. Our recent refurbishment has created a modern, welcoming environment, including dedicated cat waiting space and a quiet cat ward.
Team culture matters a great deal to us. Our colleagues enjoy each other’s company, whether that’s over a cuppa in our landscaped gardens or tending our fruit and vegetable patch. We’re proud supporters of our local community too, sponsoring local teams and events and working with local schools. We hold Silver ISFM Cat Friendly status, Dogs Trust Dog Friendly status and RCVS Practice Standards Accreditation.
Lovely clean waiting room with friendly and professional reception staff. We were seen on time by Zuzanna, supported by Emma. Both were very attentive, kind and gentle with our dogs, one of which is quite timid in the veterinary environment. We would highly recommend this veterinary practice. – Louise Hill – Google Review
About this role
You’ll be joining four vets, six nurses (five RVNs and one SVN), a VCA, a dedicated reception team and an experienced Practice Manager, all working towards the same goal: outstanding clinical care and a great experience for every client. It’s a friendly, supportive team where you can build lasting relationships with clients and their pets.
Whatever your clinical interests, we’ll support them. We actively encourage CPD, further qualifications and certificate study, and you’ll have digital and dental X-ray, a high-specification ultrasound scanner, extensive in-house laboratory facilities and laparoscopic equipment to support your work.
Full-time vets work a four-day week, with no out-of-hours and Saturday mornings on a rota, currently one in four. Part-time applications are welcome and flexible working will be considered.
About you
You’re a friendly, conscientious and highly motivated vet who takes pride in good clinical work and in the relationships you build with clients. You enjoy being part of a supportive team and want a role that gives you room to develop without giving up life outside work.
You’ll also bring:
- A warm, client-focused approach to consultations
- A collaborative attitude, working closely with our nurses and support team
- Interest in developing your clinical skills, special interests or certificate study
- Experience as a Veterinary Surgeon

Our offer
