Description

Veterinary Surgeon - full time - work with certificate holders - experienced, stable, growing team - Salary up to GBP65,000

About us

Our growing practice is run locally by Jonathan who in turn is supported by a team totalling 5 vets including a certificate holder in medicine, a certificate holder in feline medicine and a vet currently working towards a certificate in surgery, 6 RVNs and 2 SVNs, some of whom started their career with us as receptionists and have completed their training with us.

Our clinical team are also supported by a team of brilliant receptionists as well as Emma, our dedicated Business Manager.

With strong links to the local community, we're a close-knit, stable team who look out for each other's well-being, with two of our team also being trained in mental health first aid.

The role and you

We're looking for a good all-rounder capable in consults and routine surgery. But with the expertise we already have in the team, we're happy to consider different levels of experience from candidates with some prior background in small animal GP practice.

The hours are flexible, but our rotas are fixed around our teams' preferences, supporting a healthy work/life balance in knowing what your hours are from week to week. The weekend rota is just 1 in 6 weekends, Saturday from 9-am to 5pm and Sunday from 10.30am to 4.00pm.

Our days are structured well too, with 15 minutes given for consults and regular admin time factored in as well as practice and clinical team meetings held throughout the month.
