I'm booked up for the rest of the year but may be available to help next year.

And I have locumed in this practice before back in '04 and it was a nice practice to work in!

Hannah - Yes we do!

Great opportunity for part-time veterinary work in a congenial independent practice, local to RVC

Cuffley Hills Veterinary Centre

Description of Practice
www.cuffleyhillsvets.co.uk. We are a small independent practice in the heart of the local community, with a commuter and local clientele, many insured. Cuffley is close to the M25 and fast trains to London about 10 mins drive from RVC Hawkshead Campus. We are a high quality first opinion practice but welcome any additional skills and interests veterinarians bring to to the post. Vets work closely with a friendly, supportive team of 3 qualified, experienced veterinary nurses.

Duties
Small animal veterinary clinician to share work with two other part-timers, working Wednesdays and Thursdays (9am-7pm) to cover a colleague's sick leave for a minimum of 5 months from 21 October, probably longer. Additional days to cover for staff holidays and CPD will also be available.

This post would suit an experienced colleague who enjoys client interaction and excellent patient care, exercising clinical skills to the full whilst being in sole charge when on duty. Out-of hours cover is provided locally at the RVC. We enjoy clinical freedom and encouragement to innovate and improve working practices as a team

Qualifications Required
Good all round self-directed companion animal clinician, good team worker. Excellent references from recent UK practice employer.

Pay

By negotiation. CPD will be supported as long as contracted working days are not affected

How To Apply

Please contact Cathy Holton Practice Manager at cuffleyvets@gmail.com or by phone on 01707 873988.

Hope it's ok to post like this. I'm having spinal surgery on 25 October or I would be happy to work here as I have for the past 18 months. It was my first job back after 4 years out of practice. Nice people and it comes back quickly. Accommodation in flat over surgery, no OOH.

I wouldn't do any such thing. You're very welcome to post that kind of thing. Recommend you also post in the job section, because it should remain more visible for longer. Also check the locum register here. If you see someone who looks suitable, don't post a comment under their entry as they may not see that. Instead click through to theor profile and send them a message.

Good luck.

Clive, either the original post has been edited or there might be some wishful thinking on your part

Clive Ansell — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:05:32 GMT

I can't see anything wrong with you asking here, although I am fully booked and unable to offer to help.

What do you mean by "in house nurses can be provided", only for clinical duties presumably ?

Fiona French — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 12:52:06 GMT

I'm afraid I can't help as I am completely booked up for the rest of this year. Shame, as it sounds great and is fairly local to me (Mid Devon). Another time maybe - you can always message me if you are stuck again.
