About us
Opened 14 years ago, Reading Vets for Pets is locally owned and run by Hassan Salamian MRCVS and Irina Vranceanu MRCVS. Our experienced practice owners are on site every day and are supported by a team including another experienced vet, 2 RVNs, 3 SVNs, 2 VCAs and 4 Receptionists with the whole team keen to help each other and get involved, holding regular practice meetings and clinical meetings too.
Our wellbeing is as important to us as our patients care and we therefore also have two colleagues who are trained Mental Health First Aiders.
The practice
Our great location means we benefit from a good variety of cases and a superb loyal client base. We typically deal with 1st opinion cases including Orthopaedic and Laparoscopic surgeries. The well-equipped surgery is purpose built to industry leading standards and includes Ultrasound, Digital X-Rays, Diathermy, Cautery, Acupuncture, Multi-parameter machine, In house Biochem and Haematology machines.
Our practice is based on the busy Brunel Retail Park, with easy access into Reading centre and commutable by bus or car having the M4 nearby and plenty of on-site car parking.
The role and you
This rewarding role is full-time position working 40 hours per week (Monday – Friday 9am – 7pm with a 1 hour lunch break), and 1 in 4 Saturdays (9am – 6pm) with no OOHs.
In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for an experienced vet with a broad range of GP skills. We are lucky to have a varied caseload including cats, dogs, rabbits and small furries, so you’ll be confident in all aspects of everyday small animal medicine and surgery.
As well as strong clinical skills, we’re also looking for someone skilled in building strong relationships with patients and clients, as well as someone who thrives working as part of a great team.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
Since 1991, when we were a wholesaler with a team of just 15, we’ve been focused on getting better every day. By putting pets before profit, working as a team and taking pride in everything we do, we’ve grown into a 451 store network with more than 8,913 colleagues working in our Stores, Grooming Salons, Distribution Centres and Support Office.
We are the UK’s leading pet specialist, providing pet owners with all their product needs, as well as our Vets for Pets practices and Grooming salons. We support our colleagues to work with pride and passion, to bring honesty and integrity to work every day, and to do it all with a sense of fun and fearlessness. We never shy away from having the important conversations and doing what we say we’ll do.
Our values and behaviours are practiced daily across the business and are what really makes us an enjoyable, exciting place to work. We're always striving to develop and reward our colleagues with an extensive in-house series of training programmes, wellbeing initiatives and a comprehensive benefits package. In 2018 we were delighted to be voted top 5 in the Great Place to Work UK’s Large category.
Our colleagues are central to the success of the business and are fully trained in pet care and dedicated to animal welfare. Pets are central to everything that we do and 93% of colleagues have their own pets too!
