Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Leeds

Type: Small Animal

Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire

Practice: Part of a group

Team: With an experienced team of 67 colleagues, an abundance of qualifications in a range of disciplines (ECC, small animal surgery, and most recently a certificate in dentistry nursing), and a fantastic management network to provide support and progression opportunities we really believe there is no better team to be a part of.  

Facilities: They are proud to run both a 24/7 out-of-hours and referral centre with high-quality facilities as well as a thriving first opinion business from the same site. This means they provide the best care possible to their patients, no matter what they visit them for. As an ISFM Gold and RAW silver practice, they strive to constantly exceed expectations so they can continue to be the number one choice for veterinary care in the area.

Role: They are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join their practice as they grow

Hours

  • Full-time, 4-day week, 35hrs

  • 2 consult, 1 inpatient, 1 surgical shift per week

  • 1 in 4 weekends, no sole charge

  • High ECC, Referral caseload

Duties:

  • 30-minute sick pet consults as standard

  • Highly experienced, certificate-holding nursing (surgical and in-patient) team support

  • Be part of their ever-expanding (67 colleague) team, including certificate holder vet support, mental health first aiders and life-coach mentorship in-house support.

  • First opinion, hospital, OOH Emergency and referral caseload (supporting 15 vets4pets in the region)

  • Dedicated (separate) night clinical teams

  • Experienced vet required who can consult and operate with relatively little assistance (this is not a position for graduate vets, or vets with no UK experience in first opinion practice).

Candidate: They are looking for a dynamic and proactive veterinary surgeon with experience in ECC and a solid grounding in medicine as well as surgery. In this role, you will work alongside an advanced certificate holder in soft tissue surgery and will receive training and mentorship as required. While this role will have a surgical bias you will be required to cover 1 consulting shift per week and so will need to be confident with all aspects of general practice.

Package: In addition to joining an ambitious, forward-thinking, and friendly team in a supportive working environment and the opportunity to enjoy a varied and challenging surgical caseload, they offer an excellent benefits package that includes:

  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience

  • Contributory pension scheme

  • Generous CPD allowance 

  • Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS)

  • Free onsite parking

  • Exclusive company discounts and rewards
