Overview

We have exciting plans to grow our modern and busy practice in the riverside town of Maidstone, so if you’re a forward thinking, experienced Vet looking for a new role where you can bring your ideas to life, we could have the perfect position for you!

Maidstone Vets4Pets is a standalone practice offering you the environment, caseload and equipment needed to utilise the skills you have gained to date whilst also giving you plenty of opportunity to develop further, with support for postgraduate qualifications, CPD and training in your areas of interest.

About the team and interests

You’ll be joining a talented and friendly clinical team as well as a fantastic supportive non-clinical team. Growing, developing and retaining talent within our team is really important to us, with multiple colleagues with 10-18 years’ service with us and our CCA team working towards BVRA accreditation! We hold a variety of interests within our clinical team too with 2 of our vets already holding certificates in medicine and surgery. If you have a particular interest in surgery or diagnostic imaging that would be wonderful, but not essential.

• Minimal sole charge and no OOHs responsibility to support work/life balance and collaboration.

Requirements

• Experienced Veterinary Surgeon (3+ years qualified).
• Confident with all routine surgical and medical cases; personable and approachable with clients, patients and the wider team.

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!
