Job description

Ark Veterinary Surgery, Killamarsh, Sheffield, Yorkshire & The Humber

We are a busy, RCVS accredited practice currently operating from two branches in Dronfield and Killamarsh. We are looking for a full time, permanent vet to join our friendly and supportive team. A part time role may be considered for the right applicant.

What the position offers

We are looking for an experienced small animal vet who is comfortable with sole charge but has the ability to work well in collaboration with our clinical and support staff. The position will include both surgical and medical aspects, as you will be expected to assist with consultations and procedures on a daily basis in accordance with the rota.

We have an interesting caseload, ranging from routine surgery, orthopaedics, keyhole surgery, laser surgery and endoscopy. We also have modern, purpose built facilities including a comprehensive in-house laboratory, digital x-ray (including dental x-ray) and diagnostic equipment.

The role is full time, 40 hours, 4 days per week, no OOH, 1:7 Saturdays, however we are flexible on this.

Ark Vets is a thriving, progressive South Yorkshire/Derbyshire (Sheffield) practice. We are fully kitted-out at both sites with all the usual toys plus laparoscopic surgical kit and CO2 laser. We treat both small animals and exotic species (first opinion and referrals) and we are lucky enough to have the Peak Park on our doorstep, a great place to walk, run, climb, cycle or just enjoy the outdoors.

We have a team of 9 Vets, they are supported by 10 RVNs and our client care team. We support each other and divide the workload equally. Our clients are at the forefront of what we do and we encourage a bond built on mutual trust and respect. This extends into our team too, as we all need each other to function effectively. We believe that time off should be just that, time away from the job to rest and recharge. We seek to balance our responsibilities to our clients with our own work life balance.

Our team regularly hold social events outside of work hours, and set aside time for employee wellbeing and meetings, as we believe that staff happiness is important.

We recognise that our people are fundamental to the success of our business. Investing in our people, premises and processes is at the heart of what we do. In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from -
