Facilities: They are proud to be one of the first UK practices to achieve dog-friendly status from the Dogs Trust/BVBA Dog-Friendly Clinic scheme, having already been a fear-free accredited practice. They also have Gold ISFM cat-friendly status, are officially rabbit-friendly with Silver RWAF status, and are an RCVS-accredited practice.
Their purpose-built premises and facilities enable them to provide a high standard of care, with separate dog and cat wards, 4 consulting rooms, digital x-ray including dental x-ray, high-quality ultrasound with Doppler, in-house lab, endoscope, optic loop, Tonovet pen, cautery, and laser therapy.
Team: They have a strong clinical team of 6-7 vets, 7 RVNs, 1 SVN, 1 VCA, and 1 ANA, with a range of experience between 6 and 30 years, and a brilliant admin/reception team who keep everything running smoothly. Everyone is supportive and always try to help each other. The practice is very much part of the community.
Role: Are you looking for a place where you can spread your wings, flourish, and feel confident, knowing you are fully supported… Our client is looking for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon with experience to join their friendly team.
Hours: Their vets work a 4-days week, with one early finish each week and a 1:4 share of the Saturday morning consults between 9 am -12.30 pm. They are also delighted to chat about other part-time work to suit you too.
OOHs: There are no routine OOHs with this role; however, if you are interested in emergency care, they would be happy to discuss you joining the OOHs rota, if this is something you would like.
