About Us

Scarsdale Vets are delighted to be able to offer the opportunity to join our purpose-built practice in Alfreton. We are seeking a pioneering small animal vet who has the vision and the dynamism to create an environment of success. Full training will be provided by one of our successful practices and support will always be within your reach. This practice is run and managed by you and an accomplished nurse. There will also be a client care advisor as the first point of contact with our patients and their owners. Working together as a bonded team, you will be an integral part of the local community, trusted to provide the best care and advice available. This Small Animal Vet role allows you to be involved in continuing the growth of this recently opened practice, with independence in managing both your clinical cases and the practice team.

Growing and maintaining your client base will be a key element of your responsibilities. While being run as an independent practice, you will have autonomy for your cases plus also the full support of our hospital facilities and expert knowledge from the first opinion day and night teams and the referral services in Pride Park. With proven experience of small animal care, you will have a good working knowledge of core clinical procedures and will provide excellent client care. Our customers come back to us again and again because they know we care. There will be some sole charge work at this practice, so you will need to be confident in making decisions. Full time hours Monday to Friday with 1:2 Saturday Mornings. No out of hours. We could consider an alternative work pattern for the right candidate.

Applicant Requirements

Ideally you will have some small animal experience, great customer service skills, excellent core veterinary skills, the ability to prioritise and delegate and commitment for continuous development. It would be good to have ambition to grow your own practice and build your own base, have a relevant veterinary certificate or business-related post-graduate qualification and a local working knowledge of our competitor practices.

Small Animal Vet

casvetjob@gmail.com (toby travis) — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 22:16:25 GMT

Vet at Friendly Unique Charity Based Clinic, 28-60k + great benefits!! Part time, full time - you let us know what days you’d like to work and we can make it happen. No Saturdays, Sundays or OOH!

Casvet is the fully independent vet practice inside Cheltenham Animal Shelter, half-owned by Cheltenham Animal Shelter. We exist to provide a vet service to the shelter (free appointments, cost price medication etc) and to be an excellent low cost vet practice to the local community. We also help by providing a service for other charities as well, such as RSPCA and PDSA and some breed rescues. Our appointment fees for members of the public are typically much cheaper than other practices and most of our ops are 30-50% cheaper than other practices. We manage most work in house but we are linked to Dragon Vets so any cases that need something more advanced (overnight hospitalisation, certificate holder imaging, CT scan, heart work up etc) have the option of an in house referral. We have 3 full time and 2 part time vets with the aim of always running on a 4 vet rota - another vet - part time or full time - will enable us to do this. We are offering an excellent package with fantastic working hours and we are happy to hear from experienced vets as well as new graduates - there is plenty of support within the practice and we have previously taken on a new graduate (who is still with us!).
In the last 5 years we have doubled in size and have had 2 major pieces of building work and renovation so we have a well-equipped and busy practice. Not just all the normal things like digital xray/ultrasound/diathermy/multiparameter machines, but also separate dog and cat wards, recovery/rabbit area, separate theatre/xray/dental and we have just purchased a dental xray machine.
There is no on call/out of hours, no weekends, (yes, no Saturday mornings!) and days start at 9am and it's rare that anyone is away later than 630pm. Ideally we would like another full time vet but if you would like to work 2,3,4 or 5 days a week then please still apply - we are keen to enable flexible working - two of our vets work 2 days a week and 1 vet has recently dropped to a 4 day week.
This is a position that could suit anyone who enjoys being a good GP vet and working in a great place with a great team, as well as anyone keen to make the most of the facilities available - it really is a job that you can make into what you want and could even suit vets with a certificate. We use Dragon Vet Centre for our out of hours and 24 hour overnight care and access to a great team with several certificate holders, happy to help with any case advice. Our client base is extremely diverse - many people come to us as they cannot afford to go to many private veterinary practices but we also see many owners (often insured) who visit us in order to support the Animal Shelter so there is often plenty of scope to work cases up thoroughly. Likewise, our staff find working at an Animal Shelter very rewarding.
We have 4 excellent qualified nurses as well as a part time Head Nurse. We also have 3 nursing students so there is a fantastic nurse to vet ratio which we think allows us to provide a really high standard of care to our patients without being focused on profit.
We offer a good rate of pay (commensurate with experience and skillset) and some great benefits – a generous team bonus scheme (up to £300 quarterly in 2020 pro rata) to allow all employees to share in our success, cost price (not just a discount!) treatment at Casvet for your own pets, pension with employer contribution and 5 weeks holiday per year (plus bank holidays) pro rata. We will fund RCVS and BSAVA membership fees. Accommodation is available for the 1st 3 months (off site) to allow plenty of time for anyone new to the area to find a place to live.
We might be biased but we think it is a great place to work - a busy independent practice, doing great work for the Animal Shelter (half of any profit we make funds the shelter), good hours, no weekends and a great team (we have a low staff turnover). Please feel free to give Toby Travis (Head Vet) a ring to discuss the position further.
Half of any practice profit goes directly to Cheltenham Animal Shelter!

Covid-19 has resulted in many negatives but, at AlphaPet we have always viewed problems as opportunities to learn, adapt and become better.

In addition to having a strong desire to promote a very high standard of clinical patient and client care, you will also enjoy managing and empowering a highly motivated and committed team.

We are looking for a full time Veterinary Surgeon to join our established, friendly, supportive team, who enjoys the challenges of first opinion veterinary practice as well as guiding recent graduates. A typical day starts at 08:15 with reassessing any patients returning from Vets Now and admitting patients for ops. All patient admissions are made by the veterinary team allowing our dedicated team of Registered Veterinary Nurses to focus on caring for our in-patients and preparing our day patients for surgery. This is a full time position, working 4 days a week. No OOH. 1 in 3 Saturdays mornings until 13:00. You would be building up and maintaining your own client base. Welcome bonus on offer!

We offer 15 minute appointments as a minimum allow vets to provide a first-class service to clients and appointments are available for clients throughout the day with vets having staggered breaks throughout the day. Typically vets will have two sessions on "ops" each week allowing them to book in cases they have seen to operate on or work-up; seeing cases through is encouraged in an environment where plenty of support is available if required. The final appointments of the day are booked for 18:45 allowing ample time in the evenings to maintain a healthy work-life balance and there is no sole-charge work, typically 4-5 vets will be working on any given week day with two on a Saturday morning.

A purpose-built practice overlooking the beautiful Stour Estuary, the surgery is fully equipped to enable vets to provide a first-class service to their patients. Facilities include digital radiography (including separate dental radiography in a bespoke dental suite), ultrasonography, piped gases, multi-parameter monitor, flexible and rigid endoscopy, cautery, class IV laser therapy, tonometry and forced air warming for patients. Situated in the heart of Constable Country, the beautiful scenery made famous by the work of John Constable is on hand for those who like outdoor life; the coast and Alton Water Reservoir is also on hand for those who enjoy life on water.

Certificate study is encouraged, be that RCVS Cert AVP or GP Certificates; recently completed and in progress Certificates include Medicine, Surgery and ECC. Within our team we have a certificate holder in imaging which allows internal referral for more in-depth abdominal ultrasound in particular and a monthly visit from a Cardiology Diplomate not only provides excellent care for our patients but allows up-skilling of Cardiology knowledge within the team.

We pride ourselves on our friendly, collaborative approach as we believe that allows us to best care for our patients and ourselves. We do a lot of work with local Cat Rescue Charities and regularly see Greyhound Trust dogs. We have for several years supported a local charity providing care and accommodation for adults with learning disabilities and like to attend local agricultural shows. We can't wait until Covid allows life to return to something approaching normal again and start sampling each other's cakes again!

Manningtree and Mistley, just a stone's throw across the Stour Estuary from the practice, have great independent shops, bars, pubs, bakery and restaurants as well as a supermarket and main-line rail station with Liverpool Street just an hour away. Ipswich and Colchester are close by and offer plenty of opportunity for sporting and cultural pursuits, between them being home to Ipswich Town Football Club, Dance East, Mercury Theatre and the fabulous Colchester Zoo. Stansted Airport is in easy reach at 50mins by car and the port of Harwich is just 15 miles away for those who enjoy travel to Europe and beyond.

Prior experience of veterinary work in UK is required and ideally the successful candidate may hold or have started a Certificate although consideration will be given to less experienced veterinary surgeons demonstrating a genuine passion for first-opinion veterinary care.

The day begins at 8.15am with inpatient rounds for any patients returning from Vets Now and admitting patients for the days operations alongside our nursing team.

Clinic times run from 8.30am until 12pm with appropriate rest breaks, 2pm until 4 pm then 5pm until 6.45pm, 6pm on a Friday. Typically each vet will have at least one full operating session each week when they will start on the operation list first thing in the morning with help from the consulting vets starting mid morning. There is a real team approach to helping with the operation workload so it is completed in good time. Rest breaks tend to be taken together which engenders a good sense of team spirit. Cases can be discussed and this helps support vets with their work load and sharing of knowledge and experiences. The surgery typically has 3-4 vets working each day with 2 vets on a Saturday morning so you will never work alone. Welcome bonus on offer!

The Hadleigh clinic is situated in the heart of Hadleigh high street. Hadleigh is a small Suffolk market town with a diverse and thriving range of independent shops and amenities including, doctors surgery, leisure centre with gym and swimming pool, library and supermarkets.

Richard Pettit is the Clinical Director in this branch having worked at Highcliff for 27 years. He has a special interest in Orthopaedics and regularly undertakes TTA and stifle surgeries and fracture repairs requiring few orthopaedic referrals. We have a part time vet who is an Advanced Practitioner in Diagnostic Imaging working each week. We actively encourage certificate study having several vets currently enrolled. We also have a visiting Cardiology Diplomat helping us improve our overall cardiology knowledge and care.

We are a friendly and sociable practice enjoying meeting up outside of work and have been lucky to have people returning to work for us over the years. Feedback from staff members always highlights the high level of support and encouragement that they have received from Highcliff during their time working with us.

We perform work for several local cat charities and regularly treat Greyhound Trust dogs. We also attend the local Hadleigh and Tendring Agricultural Shows and very much feel part of the local community with the practice having been established for more than one hundred years.
Our ethos is to provide the very best first opinion service that we can to our valued clients. We are lucky to be well served with near by referral practices with which we have long established, good working relationships.

Hadleigh is situated in rural South Suffolk between Colchester and Ipswich but is readily accessible from London via mainline train to Liverpool Street Station taking 50 minutes from Colchester. It is 20 miles from the port of Harwich allowing easy access to the continent. Stansted airport is approximately 50 minutes drive with a regular coach service from Colchester and Ipswich.

Would you like to create your own role within a team of motivated, uplifting colleagues in a growing practice? Perhaps you want to work part time, maybe you only want to do late shifts (or early!) or would like to run your own branch, or maybe you are looking for a role with managerial responsibilities, and want to get stuck in to a CD role. This is a unique opportunity to create a career that suits your experience, preferred way of working and lifestyle. We have an experienced and fantastic support team.

Our customer service is second to none, and our staff are our single most important asset, they make Alphapet the success it is today. We are situated close to the sea and just over an hour from London and Gatwick Airport.

The successful candidate will be interested in building strong client relationships, have exceptional clinical standards, and enjoy working within a team with some sole charge. The ability to thrive in a busy small animal hospital would be an advantage. Certificate holders or someone who would like to study towards one, would be desirable. We can provide accommodation to anyone relocating to the area, next to the practice.

debbie.loding@ivcevidensia.com (IVC Evidensia) — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 14:38:36 GMT

We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to work across our 7 branch clinics and at the hospital. In general the rota includes emergency work, surgery and consulting each week. Shifts vary from an early start of 7.30am to a late start of 11.00am and all shifts are 10 hours in duration.

We are looking for someone who is a strong team player, willing to pitch in and get involved. The successful candidate will have a can-do attitude and will not be afraid of hard work. They will thrive in a busy environment where there is a wide diversity within the case load, an emphasis on imaging and diagnostics, very little case referral and a requirement to work to the highest standards.

Our vet team is close-knit but welcomes new additions, especially if there is the opportunity to learn from them too. Case sharing and collaboration are part of our daily lives and the team discussions often spill over onto WhatsApp discussions. Our nurses are a delight and will gladly support new team members through the challenges of being the 'new person’. Most of our RVNs take on a number of clinical roles including 2nd vaccinations, post op checks and taking bloods.

Our hospital is accredited under the PSS and we have all the equipment you would expect along with a sophisticated laboratory staffed by bio-medical scientists. If you particularly like emergency work you will be pleased to learn that we are the de-facto emergency hospital in our area AND we look after the OOH for a number of local practices.

We are a gold standard ISFM practice as well as a Platinum Compassion Understood accredited practice. As a large practice we are able to ensure the vets get to focus on the clinical aspects of veterinary work by having other teams to handle insurance claims, pet health plans and referral administration.

Experience in non-charity, small animal veterinary clinics would be beneficial. Medical bias would be ideal but routine surgical skills and experience are a must. We need you to be comfortable with a bitch spay and most routine procedures. A strong interest in imaging would be helpful and experience of ultrasound would be a definite advantage. As we have a dedicated exotics ward anyone with an interest in this area would be welcome to apply, although this is not essential.

We seek a confident communicator, looking to work at a practice that values them.

With Certificate holders in Medicine, Diagnostic Imaging, Cardiology and Feline Practice, we will happily take on someone with a Certificate or the ambition to achieve one. However, we are also experienced at supporting and guiding newer grads as they learn the skills they need to become well-rounded GP vets.

With our building currently being extended, this is an exciting time to join us and grow our team. We will soon have new dedicated spaces for ultrasound (abdo and echo), digital xray (CR), a dental suite (including dental xray), a 3rd (feline) theatre suite, along with a room set aside for a future CT scanner.

We open 7 days a week, but do no night work, with a dedicated OOH provider close by. Whether full-time or part-time, our vets take a share of the weekend duties, working 1 in 3 Saturday or Sunday daytimes (not both). Each vet also works one "late" weekday shift (11-7:30 or 12-8) per week. Part-time vets share the weekend/late duties for fairness, but work less weekdays. Each member of our team works to suit their individual lifestyle - all work patterns considered. Having won UK's Most Flexible Small Business in 2015, we are genuinely committed to providing flexible working, which is part of our culture as an independent practice with a family ethos.

We're a VN Training Practice, Gold Cat Friendly, Silver Rabbit Friendly, RCVS Accredited, and have all the usual toys. We're a 15minute drive from Birmingham Airport and 10minutes from Coventry train station (1 hour's journey to London on the West Coast main line).

Great package available for the right candidate.

We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our great team on a full time basis. Working hours will include 4 x 9 hour days with 1:4 Saturdays. There are no OOH requirements, as we use Vets Now. Our vets enjoy good rota flexibility and specific requests are accommodated wherever possible. Just let us know your preferences.

We are a 100% small animal two-branch practice with a team of 12 experienced Veterinary Surgeons and 9 Registered Veterinary Nurses. Three of our Veterinary Surgeons are enrolled into certificates. We have an excellent relationship with surrounding referral practices and a very positive reputation amongst local pet owners. We are proud to focus on quality, not quantity and believe it is important that staff get time to work up all cases. The majority of our staff have worked here for a long time and we have very low turn-over. They would be delighted to speak to you to share their experiences.

We're looking for a Veterinary Surgeon with some post qualification experience - it would be preferable if you can do basic ops like castrates, spays, dentals and uncomplicated mass removals yourself - of course help is available when needed but some independency is an advantage. Consults will have to be done independently but again; help is available. The most important thing we are looking for is motivation and a positive attitude!

Clinical Director needed for our fantastic practice in Ashford! As one of the top SA veterinary hospitals in Kent with two branch surgeries, we offer candidates an excellent package with the opportunity to enjoy a superb work/life balance. You will receive a competitive salary, pension scheme and 6 weeks’ holiday per year. The working pattern is 4 days/week – OOH cases are referred to an external provider.

Our consulting hours run from 8am-8pm. Vets either start at 8am, 9am, 10:30am or 11am, with finish times of 6pm, 7pm or 8pm. We have at most 6-7 vets in per day with three consulting rooms operating over 12 hours, plus a group of vets and nurses working together on dedicated operating/procedures shifts. Lunch breaks run from 12:30/1pm to 2pm, with a dedicated 15 minute ward rounds at 1:45pm with all the vets and kennel nurses to discuss and finalise plans for our inpatients.

Our out of hours care is performed by VetsNow in another practice, but we retain inpatient care of any pets who require ongoing care. We have a group of night nurses who work 8pm-8am overnight and there is a rolling overnight inpatient duty system many of the vets are rota'd.

Barrow Hill Veterinary Hospital has a reputation for ethical excellent veterinary care. The practice has been in place in its current site for over 20 years and has had RCVS hospital status during this period. Barrow Hill Veterinary Hospital is unique in that the staff are highly motivated to ensure the best care of its clients and their pets, as well as being one of the best equipped first opinion veterinary hospitals in the Kent/Sussex region. Many of our vets and nurses either have or are studying for additional qualifications in Medicine, Diagnostic Imaging, Surgery, Emergency/Critical Care or Anaesthesia/Analgesia. With access to CT on site, laparoscopic/arthroscopic equipment, upgraded ultrasound, a full suite of orthopaedic kits (TPLO, APLS locking, AO/ASIF), dental radiography and two surgical theatres, you will be hard pressed to find a more equipped and able veterinary practice for the vast majority of first and second opinion veterinary needs.

The hospital benefits from being part of a larger group of three practices. In total there are 12 veterinary surgeons (three with certificates, four studying for one), 24 nurses (a mix of part time and full time including night nurses) and 18 administrative/reception staff.

The hospital's vast prep room is a busy area with a constant flow of cases coming through. There's (thankfully) never a dull moment during the day and there's always either music on in the background and a smile found on many of the vets and nurses' faces. The team takes a collaborative approach to working with each other, ensuring they learn from each other where a learning opportunity presents itself.

Ashford, Kent has a high speed rail link (35 minutes) into central London and is well located for someone to enjoy the benefits of a large town, with the proximity to a major city, expansive 'Garden of England' countryside and great beaches of Camber Sands, Rye Harbour and Folkestone.

For our Clinical Director role, we would love for someone with small animal experience, a Certificate in any discipline, previous management experience and the desire to make a difference with the veterinary team as a whole. A true team player who listens to the needs of the wider veterinary team, communicates effectively and leads by example. The role requires ideally a 50:50 balance between clinical and non-clinical workloads to cater to the needs of our clients as well as the pets we treat.

The Clinical Director would also need to be able to support our less experienced vets and act as a mentor to those on the IVC New Graduate Academy. A strong desire for collaborative working with the rest of our Senior Management Team (Clinical Director, Practice Manager, Head Nurse, Deputy Head Nurse, Head Receptionist) is vital to ensure that the practice works collectively to achieve its shared goals.

Benefits (subject to pro rata):
• 6 weeks paid holiday not including bank holidays
• 5 days paid CPD leave
• £1500 CPD Allowance per annum
• Company bonus scheme
• Private Medical Insurance

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon, to join our supportive and empathetic team based at our veterinary hospital in Burnley. We ask that you deliver empathetic, trust-building consultations for wellness and ill/injured animals and demonstrate critical thinking and decision-making skills to create and implement diagnostic and therapeutic treatment plans.

This is a full time position working 40 hours per week inclusive of working 1:6 weekends, therefore an average 4 day working week of 38 hours. Various shifts between 8am and 7.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday. Covering 2 Bank Holidays per year with a day off in Lieu. No emergency OOH on call, however, our surgeons do participate in a shared overnight inpatient rota in providing care for our hospitalised patients.

About Us

Oakmount Veterinary Hospital is situated in a thriving market town surrounded on all sides by breath-taking Pennine countryside, with fantastic travel links to the city of Manchester and Leeds and within easy commute to the Lake District. With a team of 8 vets, 11 RVNs, 4 SVNs, 2 kennel assistants, 6 receptionist and other support staff, we are committed to providing exceptional customer service and outstanding patient care. We have all the equipment you would expect - a suite of Idexx machines, Ultrasound, rigid laparoscopy, digital x-ray, digital dental x-ray, endoscope etc, but it is our friendly and supportive team that makes us who we are!

Applicant Requirements

You will be registered with the RCVS and will have clinical experience and confidence in your abilities to communicate with clients and perform much of the day-to-day work of a small animal Veterinary Surgeon. You will have a genuine fondness for people and be able to work well with clients and staff to achieve a good outcome and be able to work through the challenges that inevitably occur in busy hospitals. You will also have a desire to grow and be the type of person who seeks out feedback and opportunities to develop. You will be the sort of person who is flexible. So, occasionally, if a case needs a little more attention or a rota goes sideways you are happy to get the job done or help a colleague out. This does not happen often because we schedule very carefully to make sure you have a life away from work. But as you have probably noticed in veterinary medicine, not everything is under our control, so having a team who “have each other’s back” is very important to us and helps us to enjoy a happy culture.

The Role

Why do we need another Vet? Due to business growth and the sad news that one of our Vets is heading home to Norway, this has left us with a gap for a new family member to join our four-vet team. We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join us on a full-time basis, (40 hours a week). This is generally spread over a 4.5-day week, but we would consider a 4-day week if that suited you! We are happy to consider part time applicants and shifts can be discussed happily, with some flexibility. The good news! There are no OOH's, Bank Holiday's or Full Weekends! Our out of hours provider is Vets Now and our weekends consist of Saturdays only, on a 1 in 4 basis currently. Time in lieu is provided for this. We offer 15-minute consultations minimum, extended consults can be catered for, for more complex cases. The diary is organised with plenty of room for appointments, emergency block offs/on the day appointments, breaks, catch ups and time for phone calls. There is also a fairly constant stream of tea and coffee to keep you going. If you're unhappy with anything we are always keen to try and work out the best way to adapt and help! We have a range of equipment including dental machine, digital x-rays, and ultrasound. Our teams are friendly and supportive, and we have a wide range of knowledge across the Vets and RVNs. We find we work best by discussing cases and sharing opinions, communication is a really important part of the day to day here and we encourage openness and teamwork but also the freedom to explore your own cases as you wish. CPD is a generous allowance and encouraged for personal progression and that of the practice. Salary is D.O.E and skill set, between £30k and £45k.

About Us

Both of our practices are situated within walking distance of the town centres. Our mother practice is located in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. This is where the Bray House Story began over two decades ago. A few years later, Bray House Vets in Grantham, Lincolnshire was born. Both practices are equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, ECG, as well as all the basic necessities for a first opinion practice. We have a visiting referral orthopaedic Vet, who joins us on a need to basis to perform some surgeries for us. Both practices have a separate dog and cat ward to minimize the stress for our inpatients. They are both equipped with reasonably sized theatres and consult rooms and offer generous reception waiting areas (when clients are allowed back in!). Currently we are working on a non-client entry for consults, except for euthanasia's and to make payments where over the phone isn't possible. We help a range of loyal clientele, many of our clients are insured which offers great opportunity to work to the standard we all strive for! There are also clients with lower incomes so it is important to be able to adapt to suit so that they still receive the best care we can give. Overall, they provide an interesting and varied caseload!

Applicant Requirements

The role is not currently suitable for a new graduate Veterinary Surgeon, as candidates will be required to work independently without support at times. They will need to be able to undertake all manner of routine consults and surgeries on a sole charge basis. We are seeking a competent experienced Vet who is able to work by themselves.

We are looking for a part time Veterinary Surgeon to round off the hard working and dedicated team we have at Portchester Vets. The position is 30 hours over 3 days (likely to be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), with every third Saturday morning 8:30am to 12:00 midday. This role includes a healthy mix of consulting and operating with no out of hours work required.

We are an exclusively small animal practice with a fantastic client base and an experienced, supportive nursing unit. We are a busy, friendly practice who thrive on client care and job satisfaction for the team. Dedication and working together is our ethos, and it is a collaborative and inclusive environment. Our support staff are wonderful and help provide the gold standard client experience that we aim for. The practice comes equipped with digital x-ray including dental, ultrasound, in house laboratory equipment including Idexx biochemistry and haematology analysers, flat screen microscope, K laser, bronchoscope, isolation ward and separate, distanced dog and cat wards.

We are very lucky to be located on the beautiful South Coast, with loads of fantastic options for walks in forests or beaches, or trip to some great nearby cities. The Isle of Wight is a short ferry trip away, and our staff enjoy various sports nearby such as sailing, paddle boarding, horse riding and many others. We are looking for an enthusiastic vet to join our hard working team and in return gain a great work life balance to be able to make the most of this fabulous area.

The ideal candidate would want to maintain our excellent level of veterinary care to our patients and clients, and help the team move the practice forward to our future successes. We are looking for a veterinary surgeon with MRCVS qualification or equivalent, with experience in small animal practice. You should be competent in most routine surgeries and general practice medicine cases. Some small periods of sole charge may be required, but support would always be available.

We are looking for a full time Veterinary Surgeon, preferably with a few years’ experience to support our clinical director and junior vet. We have a varied workload and a loyal client base. The ideal candidate must have experience in all aspects of routine first opinion practice, and any areas of interest will be supported and encouraged. Currently our vets work 4 days a week and 1 Saturday morning in 3, and there is no on-call or out-of-hours as we have a dedicated night clinic nearby. The role also has the potential for career progression to become the Clinical Director.

We would like an experienced veterinary surgeon who is comfortable with routine surgeries and dentistry. A specialist interest is desirable as there is potential to develop this within our surgery, particularly with orthopaedics as we have a range of orthopaedic equipment here. A good sense of humour and willingness to become part of a team is essential, as is the ability to engage with a client base that has a lot of interesting characters.

Veterinary Surgeon looking for an orifice job? Our endoscope is missing its Endoscopist and would like a new one! Since introducing endoscopy into our practice two years ago, we have found it an invaluable tool in our day to day cases and now find ourselves without an Endoscopist. We’d love to find someone who enjoys looking into animals down very small holes. The current rota would be 4 days Monday - Friday with a 1:7 full Weekends and 1:7 Friday late shift plus Saturday. The evening on call is only until 9pm Mon – Fri. Saturday and Sunday are covered by an external out of hours provider.

We are a first opinion small animal practice, which yes means we see all the usual vaccinations, dentals, mass removals and so on and so on (and yes we still have to empty anal glands). But we are also a practice that encourages individual interests. With nearly all of our vets (and nurses) on certificates and an internal referral system we are able to deal with almost all of the cases that come our way.

We are looking for someone to join our (slightly crazy) Wheelie family who either has an endoscopy certificate or is wanting to start one so that our nice £50k Storz endoscope doesn’t sit in the cupboard for the next five years. Our ideal candidate would be enthusiastic about practicing a high standard of patient and customer care and who would like to be an integral part of an ever-growing practice.

The recent departure of one of our surgeons has left our senior veterinary surgeon feeling a bit outnumbered by the medics and although he is loving doing lots of surgery he keeps getting outvoted on which branch of veterinary medicine is better. He would like another vet to share his love of surgery with (and he gets bored of all of our ‘medic-speak’). We do almost all of our own orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery so we are looking for someone who either has a surgery certificate or is wanting to do one (fully funded by us).

We are a first opinion small animal practice, and as much as I would like to promise you that you can spend the whole day in theatre, there will be consults and vaccinations (and maybe even the odd dental), however we do aim to give our surgeons as much time in theatre as possible, with dedicated surgery mornings and time to spend with our senior surgeon learning new procedures.

Our ideal candidate would need to be friendly, forward thinking, enthusiastic about practicing a high standard of patient and customer care. The most essential skill we require is the ability to fit in with our (slightly crazy) Wheelie family. A strong interest in small animal surgery might be a good idea.

Excited by emergency work but put off by the prospect of long night shifts and an unsustainable working pattern? We have the answer! Our night vets work split shifts, either 4.30pm-12.30am or 10.30pm-9.30am, to allow them to pursue their passion for ECC without becoming exhausted. We understand that some of the best ECC vets require flexible working so we will consider both full time and part time applicants. With 2 in 5 weekends, no requirement to cover weekend or Bank Holiday day shifts, and an average of 35h per week, our night vets enjoy an excellent work/life balance. The role will involve seeing first opinion emergencies and providing continuous care for inpatients and referral cases.

We are an RCVS accredited practice located in Brighton, a vibrant city close to the rolling Sussex hills for the best of both city and country living, with genuinely friendly, approachable managers and directors. We have excellent working relationships with our member practices. We have a policy of not transferring inpatients back and forth to Member Practices – they stay with us until they’re ready to be treated as outpatients. We maintain high clinical standards with extensive point of care diagnostics available to facilitate this. We offer an interesting, varied caseload with lovely, committed clients who want the best for their pets. We have support overnight from a fantastic team of night RVNs and ANAs, as well as on-site Specialists and Advanced Practitioners in cardiorespiratory medicine, imaging, ECC and endoscopy. There is access to a wide range of equipment including CT, laparoscopy and extensive in-house blood tests.

We are looking for a vet who is enthusiastic about emergency and critical care and ideally has some experience in this field (although not necessarily in a sole-charge or out-of-hours capacity). They will have a desire to achieve high clinical standards, and work within evidence-based medicine where possible. Due to the sometimes stressful and fast paced nature of emergency work, they must have excellent communication skills. Most of all they should have a team mentality as we are a close-knit, friendly practice.

There are no OOH requirements except some Saturday morning consulting. This is a permanent position, however, if you are a locum we’d be happy to hear from you.

We have enthusiasm for learning, and for supporting growth professionally and personally. CPD is an essential part of our practice, and it is what keeps us motivated and able to continually improve the service to our clients.

In addition to the backup of the friendly vet team at Elston Vets, you will be supported by our referral service provided by Vet-CT and their team of superb specialists.

We are a well-equipped small practice with DR radiology, recently upgraded Sonoscape ultrasound, multi-parameter anaesthetic monitors, surgical electrocautery, and a well-resourced lab.

We are a close-knit and kind team who have passion for care, and have our purpose in well-balanced, gold-standard work, always aiming for best practice. We have a relaxed atmosphere, while in a stimulating environment. We feel we have learned a lot from the pandemic, are stronger for it, and are optimistic.

The receptionist team are experienced and look after our clients exceptionally well. As a result, we have quite friendly clients!

We are in a beautiful location in Wiltshire, with green fields and paths all around. We are also very accessible to the South Coast, Bath, Bristol, and (dreaming of post-COVID days) an easy train journey to London. Charming Salisbury is our nearest city.

A normal day at our practice involves a slow start to the morning, where everyone is able to get a cup of tea and chat about any cases coming in. We then have a 1-2 hour morning consult block starting at 9. This is followed by flexible time to perform ops, work up cases, do phone calls and/or take a long lunch. Afternoon consults run from 3-6. There is one dedicated ops vet each day who performs the routine ops along with any of their own cases. Saturday mornings are kept as quiet as possible and are on a 1:4 rota between all vets with time off in lieu. No OOH. Clinical Directors perform their clinical work but are also allocated dedicated admin time to perform their other roles and to catch up with team members as necessary.

Saxon Vets is a 4 vet small animal practice located in rural Suffolk. We are well equipped with digital radiography, a new ultrasound machine including a cardiac probe and multi-parameter anaesthetic monitoring. We are a client-focused practice that prides ourselves on high standards of client care. We utilise 15 minute consults as standard and book 30 minute consults where necessary. Each vet is given plenty of time to research and work up their own cases, as well as being able to book ops in with themselves on any day. The practice is located in the town of Wickham Market, which is close to the beach towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, as well as being 25 minutes away from Ipswich.

We are a team of 4 full time vets, supported by 1 RVN and 3 nursing students (two of which are due to graduate this year). In addition to this we have two animal care assistants, and a fantastic admin/reception team. We are a practice where everyone gets involved in all areas, and there is a strong teaching culture to ensure everybody learns and grows together. We have a prominent position in the local community, and our vets regularly judge at the Suffolk Dog Day.

The applicant will need to be a MRCVS, ideally with several years post graduate experience in small animal practice. Further study towards certificates is supported and funded. We are a small close-knit team who (pre-covid) had regular social gatherings together and we also love baking so we’d like somebody who likes making (or eating!) cakes. In addition to your excellent clinical and communication skills, you will need to be a people oriented person, who is willing to support and guide your colleagues.

From our current Clinical Director - "A normal day in the life of a CD is not drastically different from the normal day in the life of a vet. I have remained heavily clinical since taking the role with an admin day per week to try and keep the two areas of work separate so that I can focus on my clinical days. The clinical days consist largely of consulting and operating and supporting the staff members as needed. Administration days are used to catch up with the other areas of running the practice alongside the very supportive Practice Manager. Duties are very varied but include rotas, decisions regarding clinical protocols and governance, development of the business, veterinary surgeon appraisals, communicating IVC initiatives to the rest of the staff and generally making sure everyone is okay. It has added a whole other dimension to veterinary practice for me. I'm still learning every day with support from IVC but it is very rewarding to see the difference you can make."

About Us

Both of our practices are situated within walking distance of the town centres. Our mother practice is in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. This is where the Bray House Story began over two decades ago. A few years later, Bray House Vets in Grantham, Lincolnshire was born. Both practices are equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, ECG, as well as all the necessities for a first opinion practice. We have a visiting referral orthopaedic Vet, who joins us on a need to basis to perform some surgeries for us. Both practices have a separate dog and cat ward to minimize the stress for our inpatients. They are both equipped with reasonably sized theatres and consult rooms and offer generous reception waiting areas (when clients are allowed back in!). Currently we are working on a non-client entry for consults, except for euthanasia and for payments where other alternatives are not possible. We help a range of loyal clientele, which brings with it a wide and varying caseload. Many of our clients are insured which offers great opportunity to work to the standard we all strive for. There are also clients with lower incomes so it is important to be able to adapt so that they still receive the best possible care we can provide.

We offer 15-minute consultations as a minimum, extended consults can be arranged for more complex cases. The diary is organised with plenty of room for appointments, emergency block offs/on the day appointments, breaks, catch ups and time for phone calls. There is also a fairly constant stream of tea and coffee to keep you going. Our teams are friendly and supportive, and we have a wide range of knowledge across the Vets and RVNs. We find we work best by discussing cases and sharing opinions. Communication is a really important and integral part of our team culture here; we actively encourage openness and teamwork but also give Vets the freedom to work up their own cases as they see fit.

Applicant Requirements
We are seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join us on a full-time basis as our Clinical Director. The perfect candidate will have vast experience of first opinion practice and ideally some previous management experience, although this is not essential as further training and support can be provided.

Benefits (subject to pro rata)

Nice, kind, small animal vet please.

Lovely team

Plenty of time with clients (15 minute appointments as minimum - longer if needed)

Great support - we have certificate holders in surgery, medicine, cardiology and coming soon Ophthalmology! We also refer commonly, utilising great support form Pride Referrals and Liverpool University, amongst others.

Purpose built building - only a couple of years old and loads of scope still for expansion.

Talented & dedicated nurses - certificate holding nurse in ECC & Anaesthesia. Capnography on every GA, multimodal analgesia and willing to try anything new.

Somewhere you can make a difference - if you have good ideas we want to hear them. We constantly review and change SOPs based on better information/evidence. From any member of the team.

Great communication - 'rounds' happens daily to discuss lessons learned, regular clinical discussion groups for vets across the 3 branches to discuss CPD / SOPs and other TLAs (Three Letter Abbreviations).

As a CVS practice there is loads of support available as needed but we are keen for someone to do it their way and bring their ideas (and that's not just Corporate speak!). What is on offer is a good work life balance of a 4 vet team, no OOH, loads of support both clinically and on the business side, plus a very attractive salary of up to £60K DOE plus bonus scheme for this role.

paige.suckley@ivcevidensia.com (IVC Evidensia) — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 09:25:38 GMT

We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Clinical Director to join our friendly and supportive team. Your role will involve co-ordinating and leading all matters clinical and reporting into our leadership team (consisting of current PT Clinical Director, Head Nurse & Administration Manager). You will be responsible for achieving our KPI's in clinical and client satisfaction areas. You will liaise with referral specialists, peripatetic surgeons and Virtual Vet Specialists to retain as many cases as possible in-house. This is not a simple money orientated goal. It is our team's belief that we ALL learn by having specialists visit US and it is better for client and patient alike, achieving better outcomes for both and greater team satisfaction. Win:Win:Win.

The role of the current Clinical Director is to assist you in developing non-clinical skills in the areas of Leadership, Management & Business - resulting in you having a broader skill set than just clinical work. The position is full time (four days a week) with 1 Saturday (08:30-12:00) in 4. Salary range is £50,000 - £60,000 depending on experience.

We are a small 4FTE Vet small animal practice with a family ethos and feel. We are strong on client and patient care, but not to the detriment of a good working environment, as we believe that it's a happy team that leads to the best results in all areas (not the reciprocal). We encourage CPD and new learnings, as our team strive to continually improve. To this end, we run a Continuous Improvement system, through which every team member can make suggestions and submit ideas to improve what we do - from clinical matters to new signage, or changes in how we run our puppy pre-school, or painting the nurse clinic room a different colour. The only two cardinal sins at Cedarwood are saying "we've always done it this way" or "that'll never work". That said, we're not perfectionists. We know our limits and although we always aim to stretch these, we know when to call for help. If the pet is happy, so is the owner, and by extension, therefore, so are we!

Our four FTE vets, made up of full and part-time vets. We have 6 RVN's and an administration team of four - who take away all that dreadful paperwork that we all dislike so much! As previously stated, we are strong on TEAM and are keen to be seen as "human" and part of our local community. We have an ethos of helping each other and everyone is encouraged to align with our Mission & Vision, as developed by our team. We always recommend what's best for our patients and in each case, we ask ourselves, "What would I do if this was my pet?"

Applicant Requirements

We are seeking a confident and experienced clinician who either already has leadership experience or is willing to learn and receive training in this area. You will be expected to lead and support your team clinically, but also pastorally, in conjunction with & supported by the others in our leadership team. You will be expected to be able to think on your feet and problem solve... but not necessarily alone. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas! You will be expected to provide constructive input to improving what we do in all areas, but especially clinical veterinary work.

Great News – we've just been voted Best UK Vet 2020 by our clients and we’re looking for a fantastic vet to join our experienced and supportive team to help us to continue to provide excellent customer service! Could that be you?

Do you enjoy practising high quality veterinary medicine and surgery?

Do you love giving the best care to patients and providing clients with excellent customer service?

Do you have a good sense of humour and enjoy being part of a harmonious team?

Do you enjoy talking through cases and coming up with solutions? Do you want to have a say in the everyday protocols the team use? We’re lucky enough to have both veterinary surgeon and veterinary nurse certificate holders with skills in medicine, ultrasound, surgery and anaesthesia, so there’s lots of experience available when it comes to writing our SOPs.

Do you believe that it’s important to keep your knowledge base up to date? We think CPD is vital to perform at a high level and we're happy to support both CPD and certificates.

Are you partial to a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of cake? (It’s not a deal breaker, but we’ll certainly enjoy getting back to a natter over a cuppa once the restrictions are eased)

If so, you could be just the person to join our dedicated teams and help us to replace Kostas, who sadly after 6 years with us has decided it’s time to move back to Greece (mind you summer hols are sorted as we have an open ended invitation to visit him!)

Our clients are really appreciative – they’ve just voted us BEST UK VET 2021!

We’re family owned and independent, RCVS accredited and believe that providing a good, fair working environment is essential to a happy working life.

We’re members of the Vet Dynamics community, have team members with additional qualifications in leadership and management and hold ISFM Gold-Friendly Cat Status.

Of course we have all the usual toys … a few more besides: ultrasound, ECHO, laparoscopic kit for key-hole surgery, bronchoscopes, gastroscope, in-house biochemistry, haematology and urine analysers, multi-parameter monitors, ECG, IM3 dental machine with low and high speed drills, digital and dental radiography and lots more.

We’re in a rural location but close to the bright lights of Leicester, Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham and there are fantastic road, rail and air links for when we’re all allowed to travel again. There are also excellent cycle paths and local leisure facilities close-by in the National Forest and Peak District.

We admit we’d prefer another experienced team member to join us but we’re happy to support a new graduate. As a rough guide salary £30,000 (for new graduates) to £50,000.

To find out more about us why not check out our website www.vetscoalville.co.uk; speak to one of our vets for an on the ground low down; or email us and we’ll send you a virtual tour so you can get a feel for the practice. To apply please email your CV with a covering letter to accounts@vetscoalville.co.uk, or phone Diane on 01530 836654 or 07500 015007.

debbie.loding@ivcevidensia.com (IVC Evidensia) — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 11:04:39 GMT

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated veterinary Surgeon to join our team. The position is full time, working 4 full days 8.30am to 5.30pm plus one half day a week. The rota is shared 1:6 for weekend and weeknight duties. All veterinary surgeons have the opportunity to consult, perform medical work ups & surgeries and spend time on the road with a nurse on different days. We are happy to accommodate specific interests, e.g. some vets perform more surgery and others more consultations, other vets prefer to be out on the road more. The vets work together to decide on where they would like to focus their attention.

We are blessed with lovely clients, and a lovely team. We focus on quality of care rather than quantity. 15 minute consults. CT scanner, laparoscopic surgery, video endoscopy, (training/CPD in all if interested) and loads of support from a very experienced team. We have 7 vets, some part time and some full time. These include an endoscopy and a CertAVP certificate holder. Our team is also comprised of 5 RVNs and several support staff plus a practice manager. We view our practice as happy, relaxed and welcoming. We all love what we do and feel privileged to be trusted with the care of the Islanders' pets. Our team cares, listens and supports each other working together to help provide the very best of customer care, understanding that we are all emotive beings that need each other’s love and support.

We are a very family orientated practice; ensuring staff get to finish the day on time and have the opportunity to attend parents’ evenings, assemblies, nativity plays, sports days, etc. We have a very strong focus on looking after each other and ensuring a good work:life balance and we look after our staff very well.

Our staff are integral in helping us continue to strive to be the best for our clients and patients and we focus on a good work:life balance, championing both mental and physical health; whilst maintaining awareness of the importance of family commitments to staff with children, hence early finishes and ample time off. In addition and looking ahead there are significant prospects for the right vet to become a more integral part of the business in a directors role.

The team is a friendly bunch, hoping to form lasting and genuine partnerships with all clients and pets. We endeavour to approach every conversation with openness, warmth and honesty. Doing the right thing is fundamentally important to us – we work hard to keep our training and development up to date and we invest in the best equipment.

The Island offers easy access to London by train. Beautiful coastal scenery, walking, cycling, surfing, sailing, etc. We support local charities and take our wider responsibilities seriously. We recycle everything we can and actively reduce waste and we are proud to be a water refill station. We love our insects too and are a Bee-Friendly practice

We always push the boundaries and ensure we are thinking about new ideas to challenge the current status quo in the veterinary industry. We strive to be leaders and not followers and take pride in being different from the rest so we can continue to provide the very best of care for our patients.

Preferably you will have experience as a veterinary surgeon in clinical practice. We would welcome candidates that are happy to work flexibly in a team environment and who are keen to enhance their skillset with additional CPD, including endoscopic surgery and advanced diagnostic imaging such as CT scans and ultrasound. Above all we look for enthusiasm and happiness in our team members.

Benefits (subject to pro rata):

The Role
Due to continued expansion we have an excellent opportunity for a confident and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Congleton Veterinary Centre. The role is varied and includes consults, routine appointments/vaccinations, administration, hospitalised patient care and Theatre. Time within each discipline is divided evenly across the whole team, however should you have either a surgical or medical bias, then we will accommodate this as fairly as we can. When in Theatre, surgery begins as soon as all patients have been admitted and we ensure discharge appointments are from 5pm, giving patients extra recovery time. Prior to Covid and our locked door policy, we offered a daily Cat Only consultation hour (2-3pm) and this is likely to be reinstated once our normal working systems resume.

Salary £33000-£50000pa DOE
4-day working week (40 hours), with additional day off in lieu of weekend worked, plus early finish the following Monday (6:00pm)
Weekday hours 8:30am-7:30pm (last appointment 6:15pm)
1:5 weekends (Sat 8:30am-4:30pm with 2nd vet until 12:30pm, Sun 9:30am-1:30pm).
Bank holidays on a shared rota basis (opening hours and staffing levels as for Saturdays, 8:30am-4:30pm).
No OOH, except for end day cases (on a shared rota basis)
OOH service provided by Vets Now, Macclesfield.

About Us

We are a very friendly, approachable, supportive team and cannot wait to find a like-minded individual with a positive mental attitude and outgoing personality to work alongside us. We are located on a busy retail park, surrounded by established residential areas and within easy walking distance to nearby shops, a pharmacy and post office - ideal for lunchtime errands. There are also fabulous restaurants on the precinct - great for practice social events (once Covid restrictions are lifted!) The interior of our retail unit is purpose built and we are continuously developing to accommodate our growing practice and development needs. We use modern, up to date equipment, including dental radiography, digital x-ray processing, ultrasound, a fully equipped internal laboratory, electrocautery, tonometry and doppler blood pressure monitoring. All of our sedated/anaesthetised patients are monitored with capnography/ECG/pulse oximetry/blood pressure/temperature. We have also recently invested in a CT scanner as part of our local group of practices. We are always looking to improve our skills and services, and later this year we hope to invest in endoscopy, as well as digital ECG and a cardiac probe for our ultrasound machine.

Preventative care is a key focus for the practice and the whole team works together in promoting and implementing our Pet Health Club, Weight Clinics and Senior Clinics. We are continuously sharing ideas and learning, both on an ad hoc basis, as well as structured Clinical, One-to-One, Practice and Significant Event meetings. Our dental cases are performed in a two-stage process, with dental x-rays being included with all first stage dentals.

We are an RCVS Accredited Small Animal Practice and are Cat and Rabbit Friendly Silver Award holders. We have achieved Platinum Status through Compassion Understood. Our six nurses are all qualified and Registered, and they are supported by three nurses in training. Our practice ambulance is fully kitted out with in-built kennels, so that patients can be safely and comfortably transported, when necessary.

We are a 5-vet practice, with very low staff turnover and are seeking an additional (rather than a replacement) vet due to our increasing client base and caseload. We have been part of IVC’s New Graduate Academy for the past 5 years and three of our vets have joined us via this route. One graduate of the Academy is now undertaking an Apprenticeship Masters in Advanced Veterinary Practice. The other is progressing to her PgC in Small Animal Surgery. We are heavily focused on staff well-being and development and support each other as much possible.

We have a good relationship with local practices and referral centres and use the services of peripatetic surgeons when we can, for increased in-house case management and learning opportunities.

Applicant Requirements

We are looking for an experienced RCVS Veterinary Surgeon who is an excellent team player, effective communicator with a positive, motivated and friendly attitude. Due to our busy caseload, you should be confident with routine surgery and be able to perform these on your own. You should also have had experience with more complex surgeries and be familiar with the anaesthetic and surgical requirements of these. Your consultation and time-management skills should be excellent and an interest in a specific area is a bonus.

Our current vets have interests in medicine, imaging, surgery, emergency and critical care, dentistry, cardiology, acupuncture, and exotics. We will eagerly consider a candidate with other interests (feline medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology, nutrition etc.), however will be equally happy with someone who has shared interests, as this can only enhance our capabilities and performance in these areas. Regardless of interests, you should be thorough, efficient and well-organised. Be keen to add to our team with regards to new information, protocols, skills and a willingness to share information and ideas with less experienced (albeit very capable and competent) team members.

Providing support to colleagues, especially those less experienced, is key to our work ethos and any new team member should be willing to provide such support, just as it will also be available to them.
We are keen to nurture the careers of all of our staff members, and so further qualifications and/or career development will be actively encouraged and supported.

Our aim is that once you join us, you'll never want to leave!

We are a small, friendly team - several of us having been here for many years! We are located in a seaside town, which has various attractions and the all-important seafront promenade, complete with many restaurants and great views. Our surgery has digital x-ray, ultrasound and in-house laboratory equipment as well as a dedicated surgical room, separate kennels and cattery and upstairs staff room. We are a team of 11, comprised of 2 vets, 4 RVN's, 1 SVN and 4 support staff, several having been here for many years and the PM having been here since the practice opened in 2009. We have even had staff that have left and come back! The clinical director is a cardiology certificate holder and takes referral cases from the local area and charities.

We are near the sea, with Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea being joined by a 7km seafront promenade, ideal for early morning runs, evening strolls or weekend cycling. There are plenty of outdoor activities, including hiking, sailing clubs, kayaking clubs and other outdoor activities, groups and individuals. There is also a large park for exploring and relaxing in.

We would like an experienced veterinary surgeon who is comfortable with routine surgeries and dentistry. We welcome anyone undertaking or wishing to undertake certificate studies, particularly orthopaedic as we have a large range of equipment to support this. A good sense of humour and willingness to become part of a team is essential, as is the ability to engage with a client base that has a lot of interesting characters. We need someone who is willing to muck in with everyone, be a team player but also keen to potentially take on a more leadership style role as we move forwards. A good, all-round vet who values each member of the team for the importance their role plays within our business.

We will support your interests through our generous CPD allowance and vet surgeon development programme, ensure you are refreshed with ample holidays and look after you with our wellbeing programme.

A night shift begins with a handover from the daytime hospital vet at 6pm and ends with a handover the following day at 6.45am. While the caseload is variable, a private bedroom and bathroom is provided for the ECC vet and this is very much a sleeping shift. Our RVNs handle client calls, triage and the majority of patient care through the night.

• Supported by dedicated on-site team

About Us

Sheriffs Highway Veterinary Hospital is an RCVS Tier 3 Hospital in Gateshead. Our night-time ECC team supports our busy hospital, 3 branch surgeries and an additional 3 partner practices.

Several of our vets are working towards Certificates/AP status, with one of our night vets working towards an ECC certificate.

The hospital is very well equipped, with dedicated and advanced surgical and medical facilities and equipment. We have a wealth of ECC essentials, including comprehensively equipped laboratory, on site and a very good working relationship with other local OOH providers, the Pet Blood Bank and work with several local charities.

Our Gateshead location is ideal for access to the coast and countryside of the North East, in addition to all the culture and amenities of Newcastle and Gateshead.

We are a team of 12 daytime Vets, 2 night-time Vets, 16 VN's and 6 Nursing Assistants. We have an Advanced Practitioner in surgery and a medicine certificate-holder, with several vets also working towards advanced qualifications (including one night vet in the final year of the BSAVA ECC Certificate). The integration of our daytime and night-time teams ensures optimal patient care and a fantastic teamwork. This ethos is important to us, with frequent socials and pizza fuelled in-house CPD (both lunchtime and evening).

Applicant Requirements

The ideal candidate will be a RCVS registered Veterinary Surgeon with at least 3 years' experience in small animal clinical work and be confident in dealing with emergency medical and surgical cases. Experience in sole-charge ECC work would be an asset. We would also welcome applications from existing certificate-holders or those working towards an advanced qualification.

Benefits
• 5 weeks paid holiday not including bank holidays
• 5 days paid CPD leave

dunfermline@vets4pets.com (Amy Hill) — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 15:43:06 GMT

Fun, friendly, hardworking team need a people orientated FT vet with a similar outlook to join us in our purpose built small animal practice just outside Edinburgh.

Do you take great fulfilment from helping people by giving them all the support and advice they need to help them make the right decisions for their pets?

Do you enjoy the immense challenge of being a great GP vet?

Do you appreciate the complexities of people and get why a difficult client might actually just be a worried pet owner?

Are you looking for a flexible rota that fits in with your lifestyle giving you enough time outside of work to keep you energised, passionate and excited about working with your patients, clients and team when you’re here?

And finally…can you hold up your hands when you make a mistake, take it on the chin, learn from it and share the experience to make you (and us) better at what you do?

Person Specification

About us and why we’re trying to do things right

We’re under no illusion that a veterinary surgeons role can be stressful but it doesn’t need to be and we hope you see it as a rewarding and fulfilling career. The main stressors that we see and that can be controlled and managed are challenges with client communication, poorly/overbooked booked consultations and ops lists, lack of breaks during the day, lack of progression/development opportunities and constantly getting out late. If those ring a bell with you and agree that things can be managed better then our vacancy might be worth considering. We are growing at a comfortable pace, have a supportive and friendly team ( 3 FT vets, 2 FT nurses, 4 FT VCA’s, 2 FT CCA’s) and we’re located in a purpose built practice in Dunfermline within a 25 minute commute of Edinburgh. We believe in putting our team first, then the patients then the clients with our vision centred around longer consultations, appointment booking protocols, expected behaviours (from clients and each other – animals are bit more tricky!), taking lunch breaks, getting out on time (although maybe once a month an emergency or two changes that!) and getting time to work things up properly. Our proactive and preventative approach to medicine is supported with iM3 digital dental radiography, surgical loupes, ultrasound ( we have a sonsocape p50 coming on trial next month), in house Idexx lasercyte, microscopy, blood pressure monitor, pulse ox, capnography and looking to add more as we grow. We would love to hear about any particular interest you have and want to develop to find out whether we could support you with it (if we can’t, we’ll tell you so we can both make the right decision as to whether we’d be a good fit).

Here’s a bit more about us and why you might want to join our team:

You want to build client relationships with 15 minute consults for boosters and 30 minute consults for 1^st puppy and kittens vaccinations as well as more challenging presentations and euthanasia’s
Are happy with our current covid protocols of not having clients in the consult rooms ( not ideal but we need to keep the team safe)
Our clients seem to like us with a climbing feedback reputation score of 865 ( best in class is 870 and average for the industry is 640) and a net promoter score of 92
You accept making mistakes then learning from them is part of improving
You want a guaranteed lunch break
You need a flexible rota so you can enjoy life outside of your job
You want full support from us with any complaint handing (they occasionally happen, we get that)
You want to work with digital radiography, iM3 dental radiography, high spec ultrasonography, in house idexx biochemistry/haematology/electrolytes, microscopy, pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, dentistry)
You love fixing rotten mouths and seeing those older animals that have ‘slowed down’ get their zest for life back once they’re out of pain
You appreciate having a really supportive team – you’ll have bloods ready to interpret in less than half an hour, catheters placed, pre-anaesthetic bloods taken and ready for interpretation, pre meds drawn up and IV fluids set up and ready for operations to start on time. You’ll also get support handling challenging patients in consults when you need it to reduce stress on you/the patient/the owner
You want a fantastic reception team booking your diary that understands the pressures on everyone in the team and manages the appointments accordingly based on practice protocols. Unplanned consults aren’t just squeezed in unless you specifically agree or if they are a genuine emergency. If clients are too late for their appointment we offer a rescheduled appointment later in the day or the following day so there isn’t a domino effect making you run behind but it still means the patient gets seen
You are happy to help others in your team do their jobs to the best of their ability
You haven’t ever experienced a strictly controlled op’s list. (we book op’s on expected time to complete within a strict operations slot on the diary. Dental procedures are allocated a maximum time slot, longer procedures are split over two or more anaesthetics. Sounds simple but it’s rarely done and makes a huge difference if you want to get your lunch which is what we want!
You want allocated diary slots to allow time to do reports or update owners
And we want you to join us if you:
Are focussed on getting things done and seeing tasks through to completion
Are happy to share ideas you have on how to make things better for you, your team and your patients
Have something you love in veterinary medicine and want to rekindle that passion or develop it further.
Are confident in your current skills, would like to develop more, and have a knack for building trusting relationships with your clients and colleagues
Are respectful, compassionate and empathetic towards yourself and others
Recognise that nobody is perfect and when things don’t go as planned it offers an opportunity to improve
Are confident with routine soft tissue surgeries
Are comfortable charging properly for your clinical expertise
Can extract teeth with mucogingival flaps or are keen to learn by going on CPD
Are extremely conscious of managing your time, recognise if things are starting to build up and overwhelm you ( eg emergencies, call backs, an unpredicted difficult operation) and are happy to ask for help when it occasionally does happen. That help might be rescheduling appointments or asking someone to pick up a few tasks for you. We’d prefer that than having you stay late or miss your lunch!
Have a curious and caring attitude towards people as you’ll be working with a few, plus animals don’t turn up to appointments on their own
This job is probably not for you if you:
Get frustrated when clients don’t understand your explanations and hate having to get creative with your explanations so that they do
Secretly wish you didn’t have to deal with people. Ever.

Benefits

Your package:

We are offering 40 hours a week with 1:4 weekends but no out of hours work. Salary is negotiable ranging from £32k (newer graduate) to £50k (experienced vet comfortable with full mouth dental extractions, challenging soft tissue surgeries, basic orthopaedic procedures, moderate ultrasound skills)
CPD budget is currently £1500 although a certificate is something we would always consider
All professional fees are paid as well as a company pension.
There are 20 days holiday per annum, plus bank holidays

If you’re still here and interested then we really would love to hear from you. Just send your CV and cover letter to dunfermline@vets4pets.com telling us exactly why you are interested in our vacancy or if you would prefer to have an initial informal chat just call us on 01383 738 796 and we’ll be more than happy to talk things through.

phillelliott@fastmail.co.uk (Phill Elliott) — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 14:16:14 GMT

We are a nearly-new, independent, single-centre small animal practice, designed around the needs of our patients.....but rather than listening to me, why not read what our (sadly departing) part-time vet, Beth, thinks of us:

"Small World Vet Centre is a proudly independent, progressive, forward thinking two vet small animal practice located in a beautiful corner of Hampshire, providing a high quality and very personal service to their loyal client base. The staff [2 rec, 5 VN, one principal vet] are highly skilled, supportive and contribute to a fantastic team atmosphere. The practice has been thoughtfully laid out, has separate dog and cat waiting rooms and kennel areas, and is remarkably well equipped for a small practice. Clinical freedom is encouraged, as is the sharing of knowledge and experience. The practice is ISFM, RWAF and Chicken Vet accredited, has an enthusiasm for exotics and wildlife, and is seeking to attain ‘environment friendly' status. Whilst there is no emergency OOH, inpatients are kept within the practice to achieve case continuity. It is with deep regret that I am having to leave this practice due to geographical issues alone."

Beth makes reference to our Silver 'Cat Friendly Practice' and Silver 'Rabbit Friendly Practice' status, which we are proud to hold. We are also a BBVA 'Bee Friendly Practice (no bee experience necessary), are working towards Silver 'Investors in the Environment' accreditation and have committed to achieving zero net carbon emissions by 2030 as part of the UN 'Race to Zero' initiative. Our patients always come first but, as members of the scientific community, trusted by the public, we believe our obligations extend beyond the practice door.

While we wish she didn't have to go, it does leave us with a chance to increase capacity by finding an equally cheerful, caring and talented full-time vet to join us. We are looking for a colleague with some experience, an ability to work up cases thoroughly but proportionately, an eye for detail and, of course, enthusiasm for all aspects of general practice. A four-day week (average 34 hours) and equally shared weekend rota: Sat a.m. consultations and in-patient care (if any) alternating with a long w/e off. Reciprocated cover for holiday absence ensures the availability of locums does not affect our well-deserved time off. The competitive salary, funded CPD, excellent pension and 'fully comp' medical insurance are the headlines, but it is the comfortable work-space (including ducted fresh-air ventilation throughout- so important at the moment) and 'team atmosphere' (thank you Beth) that make SWVC a great place to work. Interested? Get in touch for a chat and a 'Zoom' tour.

Oh, I didn't mention the beavers....

Mileage allowance if using own car.

Requirements

Veterinary surgeon eligible to work in the UK.

Minimum three years’ experience

Competent and confident first opinion all rounder

Sole charge required for 6 weeks of the year (during which time you will be required to cover the additional fifth weekday).

Excellent communication skills

Driving licence

About the practice

Paws Indoors has been established for 18 years and has grown rapidly over the past two. We are a first opinion ambulatory small animal practice. The majority of our patients are dogs and cats although we also see a fair number of rabbits, chickens, budgies etc. No horses or farm animals.

Because of our rapid expansion we are about to move into a newly refurbished building, with new digital xray, kennelling, practice management system and coffee machine.

Although principally a home visiting service we aim to provide the full range of services that you would expect from a first opinion practice including surgery and hospitalisation of pets that require inpatient care. Equipment includes air driven dental drill, x-ray, ultrasound etc. We are continually looking to expand and improve our range of facilities and have a budget waiting to accommodate other interests. The nature of the practice lends itself to medical rather than surgical specialisms. We are also in high demand for palliative and end of life care.

We are a small friendly team, 1 vet, 1 nurse, 2 lay staff. Our staff are the foundation and the heart of the practice. We support each other and consequently we can deliver a consistently high standard of care to our clients and their pets. Once we take on an additional vet we will undoubtedly need to add to the lay staff and take on another nurse.

We are looking for a compassionate and confident vet who sees first pinion practice as a specialism of its own, demanding equivalent, if different, skills to those required in a regimented referral hospital. Someone who is prepared to think outside the box, who puts client care at the centre of their practice. Essentially, someone who will fit in with the rest of the team - there will be occasions when you will need to clean up the floor, make the tea or count out your own tablets. You also need to be the sort of person who enjoys quality time driving through the Norfolk countryside – you can use this time to listen to the radio or podcasts, teach yourself a foreign language or simply admire the view.

Once the new vet is established, it is proposed that we will offer regular consultations. These will follow the same principles as the mobile practice. i.e. appointments will be 20-30 minutes, thorough, relaxed, with minimal stress.

Our clients chose us because we are different. We listen, we involve and empower them. We are personal. Compared to a regular practice, our client base is small. Eight appointments would be a busy day. Six is about average and is plenty. There is no rush. We talk to our clients a lot.

We have the capacity for a degree of flexibility in this role. For example, someone could work three days one week and five days the next or change their day off, with notice.

I would also consider offering fewer hours/days to anyone who can fulfil the Saturday morning requirements and can also guarantee that they can provide six weeks of full cover for when I need to be away. This would, clearly, affect the minimum guaranteed salary.

It is proposed that the salary would be calculated as twenty percent of the vet’s own turnover. The practice, with one vet, currently turns over in excess of £300 000. (Figures calculated excluding VAT).

I am also happy to consider a partnership if anyone is particularly looking for that option.

Small Animal Vet

dalyak@gmail.com (Dalya Livy) — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 23:07:16 GMT

Small animal and exotics practice expanding from 1 to 2 vets due to continued growth! Located in Christchurch, Dorset - minutes from the beach and the New Forest, Poole and Southampton very close, and London only 2h away with great transport links. We are proudly independent, well equipped, and have just undergone extensive front of house renovations. Check out our photos on FB, we love our new space!

I’m about to give you lots of details, so TLDR version: looking for a PT or FT vet, new grads considered, remuneration up to 50k FT, a variety of shift patterns considered. Amazing practice, brilliant team, fabulous clients, no OOH :)

Do not let our size fool you, we are a pocket rocket sort of place: we provide a really high level of patient care and client service including some referral level stuff, we are a solid team who all get on really well together, we practice Fear Free techniques and hold ISFM Cat Friendly Silver award, and are just an all round lovely kind place to work in!

We look after each other - our team comes first, we accommodate part timers and working parents, we are not afraid to block off an emergency only or admin only or a reduced workload sort of day if catch up time or a breather is needed, or if we are unexpectedly short staffed.   We treat our clients with respect and as an integral part of the pet care team, we communicate A LOT and provide lots of information and follow up, we care about our patients and it shows; as a consequence we have truly lovely clients (every additional team member has remarked on this!) and complaints are rare as hens’ teeth.

Our building is free standing and sizeable - large waiting area, 2 consult rooms, separate dog/cat/isolation wards, sterile theatre, prep room, imaging room, lab, and a staff room.

The two owners are very experienced (both are 20 years qualified) and between them hold certificates in Exotic Animal Practice, Anaesthesia, and Small Animal Medicine, as well as a PgDip in Pain Management. The owners currently alternate work days, so 1 vet is on per day, with the second vet pitching in for a few hours daily to take up the overflow.

Our team includes 4 RVNs (3 FTE), 1 FT nursing assistant who is also an amazing behaviourist completing her MSc, and 2 PT receptionists. Our nurses are encouraged to use their skills as much as possible, and run nurse consults, do scale/polishes, x-rays, drips, take charge of inpatients etc. One of our nurses has completed the ISFM Feline Nursing cert, one is studying for an exotics cert and one for an ECC cert. We are a nurse training practice.

We have 20min appointments, and average 3-4 ops per day - mix of anaesthetised surgeries/dentals, sedated procedures, ultrasounds, chemo etc. We believe in working up cases to the best of our ability, and are always happy to invest in our team and our equipment to enable us to do so. Planned for the next 12m is a treatment room overhaul and adding dental x-rays, which we are all very excited about! Our exotic load is about 20%.

We are COVID secure and in PPE. Two weeks ago our clients (in limited numbers) have been allowed back into the waiting room for the first time since March 2020, and there are no plans to allow them into the consult rooms until it is safe to do so. A nurse is dedicated to help the vet with all consults.

We can accommodate a variety of candidates:
- an experienced vet
- a vet with 2-3 years’ experience looking to expand their repertoire in a lovely supportive environment
- a new graduate with outstanding client communication skills (we are registered with the RCVS VetGDP mentor program)

We are flexible and can accommodate a variety of shift patterns:
- full time as a 4 or 5 day week
- part time of around 20h per week +
- the only requirements would be 2 x 7:30pm finishes for FT and 1 x 7:30pm finish for PT per week; and 1 in 3 Saturday mornings (8:30am-12:30pm) for both FT and PT
- FT position would be defined as 40h per week (including 1h paid lunch on full days), with a half day off the week after working a Saturday morning
- PT position would ideally have Saturday hours included rather than TOIL, total weekly hours worked to be agreed with the individual candidate
- you will leave on time 95% of the time; we close at 7pm but last consult is 6:20pm; 6:40pm slot is left empty unless we’re desperate and have completely run out of appt space (and there are book on the day and emergency slots in the diary)

The rota would not include sole charge with the exception of Saturdays (and not those for a while either in case of a new grad), unless there was an illness or a special event. A locum would be engaged when the owners take holidays.

We strongly believe in CPD - you would have a Webinar Vet subscription, 1 week CPD leave and £1500 annual allowance, though financially this could be extended further depending on the situation. Special interests and certificate studies would be supported. CPD is NOT pro rata.

RCVS, VDS and BSAVA memberships paid, plus another membership of your choice.

Remuneration is negotiable, somewhere from 32k for a brand new graduate to 50k for a more experienced FT vet, pro-rata for a part timer.

Annual leave is 4 weeks (pro rata) + bank holidays. An additional day is accrued for every 2 years of employment (applied to all team members). There is no OOH as we use Vets Now. We do keep majority of our own inpatients (clients are informed of our monitoring capabilities and given the option to transfer to Vets Now, and although 95% do not transfer we occasionally insist if the case is critical). The owners live above the practice, and monitor inpatients overnight (regularly until midnight, then at 3am, then regularly from 6am) and on weekends. The additional vet would not be required to participate in inpatient monitoring. Surgical patients and chronic medical cases have the practice owners’ contact details for OOH, to ensure as good a continuity of care as we can manage. Again, the new vet would not be expected to participate in this arrangement.

Our ideal candidate would be a vet with at least 2 years experience (and we’d be super happy with more!) who is comfortable with routine consulting and surgery and enjoys client communication and relationship building. Exotic experience would be a bonus. We are currently at 1.5 FTE vet workload and the owners are looking to reduce back to 1FTE between them, so they will have plenty of time to support a new or recent graduate. And although we do quite a lot of soft tissue surgery, we do not see a lot of orthopaedics (maybe 3-4 cases per year) so this is not an ideal position for an orthopod.

So if you are looking for that unicorn practice where the team loves coming to work every day, or are feeling a bit disillusioned and want to be able to enjoy practicing great medicine while having an actual quality of life, or want a solid supported start in this profession - give us a shout!

Applications via email please, to dalyak@gmail.com

"Small World Vet Centre is a proudly independent, progressive, forward thinking two vet small animal practice located in a beautiful corner of Hampshire, providing a high quality and very personal service to their loyal client base. The staff [2 rec, 4 VN, one principal vet] are highly skilled, supportive and contribute to a fantastic team atmosphere. The practice has been thoughtfully laid out, has separate dog and cat waiting rooms and kennel areas, and is remarkably well equipped for a small practice. Clinical freedom is encouraged, as is the sharing of knowledge and experience. The practice is ISFM, RWAF and Chicken Vet accredited, has an enthusiasm for exotics and wildlife, and is seeking to attain ‘environment friendly' status. Whilst there is no OOH, inpatients are kept within the practice to achieve case continuity. It is with deep regret that I am having to leave this practice due to geographical issues alone."

So we are looking for an equally cheerful and talented vet to join us- either full time (as advertised separately) or part-time...a colleague with some experience, an ability to work up cases thoroughly but proportionately, an eye for detail and, of course, enthusiasm for all aspects of general practice. An average of just over 18 hours/week, working two days- Wednesday and Friday. Emergencies OOH are seen by a local hospital practice, but we care for our in-patients on site (if any) and the part-time vet would oversee this care one weeknight per week, and also one in four weekends (including Sat a.m. consultations), along with a VN. The competitive salary, funded CPD, excellent pension and 'fully comp' medical insurance complete the offer, but it's the comfortable facilities (including ducted fresh-air ventilation throughout- so important at the moment), clinical freedom and 'team atmosphere' (thank you Beth) that make SWVC a great place to work. Interested? Get in touch for a chat and a 'Zoom' tour.

Holiday cover for a happy but weary principal vet this summer. This is a new(ish) independent SA practice, with loyal and bonded clients, bright and comfortable with air-con and ducted fresh-air ventilation throughout; purpose designed to ensure smooth work-flow, with new kit, and a genuinely ethical approach to veterinary practice. You will be supported by cheerful, supportive and experienced colleagues- 4 nurses, 2 receptionists. We are officially Cat Friendly (ISFM Silver) and Rabbit Friendly (RWAF Silver), and also Bee Friendly (BBVA) which reflects our active involvement in environmental issues- currently embarking on Investors in the Environment (iiE) Silver accreditation. A smattering of reptiles and birds keeps things interesting, but these are few and far between- don't be put off!

We need a vet who will pay attention to detail, work up cases properly but proportionately, charge appropriately for a job done well, and nurture our hard-earned reputation while they are here. It is a full-time position and includes a short stint on Saturday mornings; also a sole-charge so some experience and good clinical judgement is required- reflected in the remuneration. Excellent accommodation available if needed. No emergency OOH work but you may need to oversee care of any in-patients (usually none). Interested? Get in touch for a chat and a Zoom tour.

Exotics Vet

Rebecca.Coleman@ivcevidensia.com (IVC Evidensia) — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 14:51:19 GMT

We are looking for an Exotics Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. Our days start with a cup of tea and a team huddle where we discuss the plan for the day. Edgbaston usually has 3 vets each day.

An opportunity not to be missed! This is rare chance to further your career in a practice that has a forward-looking approach whilst maintaining the traditional values of animal care and client trust.

We are a small animal practice with an excellent reputation for providing high quality care and enjoying what we do. We provide a friendly, supportive environment for our staff with a varied caseload along with the capacity to advance and enhance your skills; so, you get the most out of being in general practice. We have got the brains, the training and the kit: we like to use them.

We are looking for a capable, charismatic, and highly motivated Veterinary Surgeon. The successful applicant will have the ability to work sole charge and an appropriate skills matrix. This is the opportunity for either a less experienced applicant to build on their core skills in a supportive environment or for a more experienced applicant to move into a more senior/leadership role in due course.

We can offer visa sponsorship to overseas applicants and a relocation package is available, along with permanent accommodation nearby if required.

This is a full-time role with a 1:4 weekend rota and time-off in lieu. One half-day off every week and a long weekend after every weekend worked. We think it essential to provide continuity of care for our patients and offer our own “twilight” OOH cover for emergency cases until 10pm and overnight hospitalisation of any ongoing cases as required. You will work 1 night a week on call, alongside an experienced RVN. These twilight shifts offer you the opportunity to develop your ECC skills, whilst still affording ample downtime. “Back up” is always available if required as we understand that it is not ever in anyone’s interest to be without more experienced advice or assistance if required. Salary range of £40,000 - £55,000 depending on experience.

We are a market-town small animal vet practice with a team of six Veterinary Surgeons (5 FTE), five nurses and two trainee nurses providing first class veterinary care at our main site in Maids Moreton and our branch at Cherry Lane. We are available for consultations 7 days a week and are well equipped to deal with both routine and more complex cases.

The main surgery at Maids Moreton (near Buckingham) is equipped with full diagnostic, laboratory, surgical and hospitalisation facilities. We also like to engage our brains. And this combination gives us the satisfaction of investigating and treating our patients to the highest clinical standards but with referral to specialists when appropriate. For example we perform our own cardiac scans, endoscopy (rhinoscopy & otoscopy through to colonoscopy), laparoscopy (90%+ of spays are “keyhole”), fracture repair and stifle TTA’s; and improve the quality of our surgical procedures and outcomes with bipolar diathermy, harmonic scalpels and “Enseal” equipment. Dental x-rays are available at both sites with air-driven equipment, sharp instruments and “Vet-tome” to make “dentals” a pleasure rather than an arduous chore.
All of our vets are actively encouraged and assisted to develop the high level medical and surgical skills that are realistically achievable in general practice, which in turn cements the trust and rapport of our loyal and expanding client base.

Applicant Requirements:

• Ability to work sole charge
• Good clinical, inter-personal and communication skills
• Enjoy interacting with and fulfilling the needs of clients and their pets
• Capable of handling more complicated consultations and cases
• Competent surgical skills (e.g. Caesarean section, pyometra) without supervision/assistance
• Able to work sole charge both one day a week at our branch surgery (routine neutering, dentals, and non-complex day-surgery) and at weekends.
• The desire and ability to improve and progress your skills further in general first opinion practice - it doesn’t have to be mundane and can be fun, rewarding and very fulfilling!

Benefits (subject to pro rata):
• 5 weeks paid holiday not including bank holidays
• 5 days paid CPD leave
• £1250 CPD Allowance per annum
• Private Medical Insurance
• VDS Membership paid
• BVA Membership paid
• Service based holiday entitlement increases
• Enhanced maternity, adoption, shared parental leave and surrogacy pay
• Enhanced paternity pay
• Birthday leave
• Discounted veterinary fees
• My Benefits - various discounts including retail & gym memberships
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Pension
• CPD/training support
• Paid bereavement leave
• Company sick pay
• Employee opinion survey
• Free uniform in a number of roles

The County Veterinary Clinic

EXPERIENCED SMALL ANIMAL VETERINARY SURGEON - NO ON-CALL

100% SA independent practice, Taunton and Ilminster, Somerset.

We are looking for an experienced colleague to allow us to continue providing a very high-quality service to our great clients (during lockdown we have experienced none of the client hostility that seems to have beset so many other practices) and their pets. We are a kind, friendly and genuinely supportive team and we like to have fun at work.

VN training practice, RCVS accredited; comment at last inspection: “clinic is well-designed & equipped, vets and nurses practising a high standard of veterinary medicine and surgery across a wide range of conditions.”

We would love to employ someone who is kind, caring, funny, enthusiastic and loyal.

We currently have three other vets working with over 85 years’ combined experience. They are all friendly, highly approachable and happy to share their wisdom as well as learn from others.

If your idea of fun is hour upon hour of back-to-back 10-minute consults and repetitive neutering, then this is not for you. If you like having time to spend with clients & patients, and time to think and work up your cases, then get in touch. We can accommodate someone with a surgical preference.

Fantastic area. Great mix of town and country, near the Quantock and Blackdown Hills, Exmoor is twenty minutes’ drive and the Jurassic coast is half an hour away. Every sort of club and activity (sporting or otherwise) is available; there is so much to do locally.

Full time or part time as we know what it’s like working and having other commitments. No out-of-hours on-call duties. We all enjoy work but we also like our time off.

We have a very rewarding position for a Veterinary Surgeon/Senior Veterinary Surgeon to be part of a dedicated team striving to provide the best in veterinary care in Newton Abbot. The role has become available due to one of the veterinary team moving to a referral centre within IVC Evidensia to pursue referral aspirations. It is very much about work life balance and a supportive environment, to create a positive atmosphere in which to work in, at Kingsteignton Veterinary Group. We would expect that the post holder would work a 4 day week, although other options may be possible. We have a dedicated external OOH service but you will be required to be back up on call for visits and inpatients, one day a week, one Friday in 4 and one weekend in 4. There is a generous CPD budget and advanced certificate study is encouraged. Within this role there is likely to be some time spent at another local IVC Evidensia practice which provides first opinion and referral services.

Kingsteignton Veterinary Group is a very well-respected veterinary practice known for its high standard of patient care and client care. The practice is equipped to a high level with excellent diagnostic imaging facilities including ultrasound, radiography, and dental radiography. The practice has access to CT locally if needed. We offer exotic medicine and surgery as well.

The practice has a team of experienced clinicians and you can easily liaise with colleagues with interests and further qualifications (certificate/AP/Specialist) in a range of areas including exotics, cardiology, medicine, dermatology, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, endoscopy, ophthalmology. You will be encouraged and supported to develop your own interests. Newton Abbot is close to the moors and the sea with great cycling routes and sites to go hiking running kayaking swimming paddle boarding and sailing. We are a busy, close-knit friendly team with a passion for providing the very best care to our patients and clients.

This role could suit applicants with a variety of different backgrounds and experience: strong clinical and social skills are central to what is required. We are open to applications from candidates with certificates and particular areas of interest; to those who may be keen to have a leadership role within the veterinary team; and also, to more recent graduates.
