Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Luton

Type: Small Animal

Location: Luton

Practice Type: Part of a group

Facilities: A small town practice, with a progressive attitude that takes pride in the high standards of care that we provide. They have recently invested in dental X-rays and a new dental suite, alongside the usual gadgets such as digital x-ray, ultrasound, tonopen, multiparameter monitoring equipment, blood haematology and biochemistry, bair huggers, and blood pressure machines. 

Team: They are in the process of building their clinical team but have the potential and facilities to become a 3 Vet practice. However, they have a motivated and proactive nursing team, consisting of 2 RVNs, 1 SVN, and 2 VCAs, who provide a high level of support and are confident with schedule 3 procedures and consulting. They also have a full reception team and practice manager to provide excellent client care. Their new team member will be supported, and in turn support other members of the team, promoting wellbeing and a positive work environment.

Role: They are currently looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly, forward-thinking team. This is a 50:50 consulting and surgery role.

Hours: They are looking for a part-time Vet to join their team; they are open to discussing different shift patterns, the hours would be 24 hours per week. There is a share in the Saturday morning rota; currently, 1 in 3. They only open 8.30 am-12 pm on Saturdays; along with no Sundays, Bank Holidays, and no OOHs so there is plenty of time to enjoy the weekend and achieve that important work-life balance!
