Join a locally owned practice who really cares about your development and work life balance! Are you ready for a change? Then we'd love to hear from you.

About us

Locally owned in the heart of the community, we're a training practice with an ethos routed in community and doing what's best for our patients, each and every time. We perform a full range of orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries and as proud owners of an ISFM Silver Certificate Cat Friendly Clinic award, RAW Silver Rabbit Friendly award, a Compassion Understood bronze award and SPVS wellbeing award 2019, we see a varied caseload and are happy to support all our team with opportunities for further development.

Our team

In joining us you'll be joining a team of 3 vets supported by 4 RVN's, 2 SVN's, a practice manager and 4 receptionists. We're a small, supportive team with a wealth of skills and experience. Always welcoming, we put each other first as well as providing gold standard care to the pets in our community.

Hours to suit you

We prioritise your wellbeing and want to support you in providing a rota that works for you. We are open to flexible rota patterns, including school hours or other working suggestions, allowing for that important family time, caring responsibilities or time to enjoy your hobbies. We're happy to consider a role between 20 - 40 hours, to enable us to support our clients and provide a work life balance that benefits you.

The weekend rota is just 1 in 3 Saturdays with no Sunday's and with a dedicated out of hours providers looking after our patients, you'll be free to enjoy more precious time outside of the job you love.

Facilities

Our standalone practice is purpose built with some great facilities including operating theatre, 3 dedicated consult rooms, a large prep area, x-ray room and isolation block with separate cat and dog kennels. There's also on-site parking, easy access to public transport and some great amenities nearby too.

The Role

Our days are well organised so whether you're working full or part-time hours, longer days or shorter days, you'll enjoy a well-managed diary with time included for breaks, time to catch up on admin and time to discuss cases with colleagues. You'll be involved in both surgery and consults, with consults given 15 minutes as standard, with longer given when required.

We're therefore looking for innovative, personable vets with good GP experience to bring new clinical expertise, and to help us grow and develop even further as a team and practice.

Pets just see people. They aren't biased and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
