Bosses at what could be the biggest animal hospital in the South West have begun recruiting vets and other staff ready for the facility to open this spring. The Veterinary Referral Hospital is currently being built in Avonmouth, and will employ more than 100 staff.
The firm behind the project say the facility will be innovative and will act as ‘a centre of excellence’ for small animal care in the entire South West region. The facility is being built at Central Park in Avonmouth by the CVS Group, which runs Bristol Vet Specialists.
CVS say it will operate as a ‘flagship regional hub’ for the group across the South West, the Midlands and Wales, with vets across those regions and nations referring animals to the Avonmouth hub for operations and hospital stays. With building work nearly finished, Bristol Vet Specialists has opened applications for more than 100 vacancies, ranging from specialist vets, surgeons and referral nurses, to front of house concierge and admin teams.
