2021 New Graduate 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 clinical mentor working alongside you in your practice. In addition, you will attend dedicated Continued Professional Development (CPD) days, supporting the development of your clinical skills 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.

We have a select few graduate spaces remaining for the 2021 Graduate Programme at the following practice - Ambivet, Nottinghamshire working across all 5 sites. 

We are extremely proud to be able to offer the CVS Graduate Programme which has supported over 500 brilliant graduates via the programme since 2015. We are always learning and working hard to constantly evolve the programme each year – in order to provide you with the best support and opportunity for your first years in practice.  

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.”
