Veterinary Surgeon – Small Animal
United States
Job Description
Salary up to £70,000, plus Relocation Allowance up to £5,000
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK's number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
We are a very friendly, close-knit team who enjoy doing social activities outside of work as much as we can. We focus strongly on positive mental health and wellbeing, emphasising the importance of talking to each other and helping each other.
CPD is encouraged; we have many certificate holders in practice, some who have done their training whilst working here, focusing on disciplines such as:
*Advanced surgery
*Advanced veterinary care
*Anaesthesia
*Behaviour
*Ophthalmology.
We also have vets who are especially interested in Chiropractic, imaging, orthopaedics and internal medicine. We pride ourselves on being an excellent training practice for nurses.
We offer modern technology such as digital x-ray, state of the art dental x-ray and facilities, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, K-laser, multi-parameter machines and specialised ophthalmology equipment.
We are a gold standard cat friendly practice with a separate cat ward and cat theatre.
We are the only clinic in the area to provide our own out of hours service and therefore, can offer consistency in patient care and are able to see an abundance of different cases that can allow our vets to keep developing their skills in both surgery or medicine.
Full-time, part-time and flexible hours would all be considered. A working day can include different shift patterns, ranging from an early finish at 1 pm to a late finish at 7 pm, with a 1-in-5 weekend rota. When our vets are on call, they do not need to be on-site apart from 8:30 am-12:30 pm on Saturday. We offer a generous incentive for out-of-hours work, and time off is granted following on-call shifts (dependent on working hours).
