Job description

Variety is the spice of life! If you do not like to tie down roots in once place, and thrive working among different teams and locations, our float veterinary surgeon role is just for you.

About your new role!

We have sites in all areas of London; Central, South, East, North, West and parts of Essex. We do not expect people to cover huge areas, and you will work closely with our locum coordinator teams to work out which clinics are accessible to you.

There is flexibility in a float role, and we can explore 2, 3, 4 or even 5 days if you wished!

You will be fully supported by our experienced regional managers, and regional head vet's, for any clinical support you many need.

The role allows you to experience different environments from RCVS accredited hospitals with an array of specialists to multi vet and small sole charge clinics.

Being a float role, you will work closely with your locum coordinator having shifts assigned that best support the clinics with their rota gaps. This role involves a Saturday and Sunday rotation.

Sundays and bank holidays would be worked at your nearest 24-hour hospital.

As part of your role you will support the teams in a full clinical capacity including performing consultations and routine GP surgeries including bitch spays and dentals.

Some of your duties will include:

• Carry out consultations, thoroughly examining all pets presented and making management and treatment recommendations which are based on best practice and are evidence-based and in accordance with GVG protocols.
• Perform GP surgery on cases as appropriate and within boundaries of personal competence and limitation of overnight care.
• Maintain, prescribe and dispense all medications in accordance with appropriate current medicines legislation and RCVS guidance.
• Record accurate and thorough clinical notes and ensure that pets’ histories are accurate comprehensive and useful to colleagues.
• Be prepared to refer cases in a timely manner, in the first instance to a GVG Hospital, when there is an inability to undertake a case for whatever reason.
• Help to maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment

So why join the team instead of locuming? We can provide job security, a regular fixed monthly income which can be supplemented if you would like to do extra shifts; fantastic hospital experience and you can plan your weekends well in advance. No filling in tax returns and you don’t have to worry about IR35 or having to set up a limited or an umbrella company.

Now let’s get to the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:

Our float vet salary band is £50,000 to £70,000 (FTE) depending on experience, and allowing room for growth within the role, as personal development and progression is extremely important to us.

A little snippet of the benefits you will receive as a Goddard vet:

• 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata if part-time)
• Generous relocation assistance (where applicable)
• Up to £2,000 CPD budget every year plus up to 5 days' paid CPD leave
• Private Medical Healthcare Insurance with Bupa

In all of our 46 branches and 3 hospitals we have the most incredible team members that are welcoming, dedicated, knowledgeable and always go the extra mile for their colleagues, patients and clients.
