Job description

Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Kidderminster

Type: Small Animal

Facilities: They are proud to be one of the first UK practices to achieve dog-friendly status from the Dogs Trust/BVBA Dog-Friendly Clinic scheme, having already been a fear-free accredited practice. They also have Gold ISFM cat-friendly status, are officially rabbit-friendly with Silver RWAF status, and are an RCVS-accredited practice.

Their purpose-built premises and facilities enable them to provide a high standard of care, with separate dog and cat wards, 4 consulting rooms, digital x-ray including dental x-ray, high-quality ultrasound with Doppler, in-house lab, endoscope, optic loop, Tonovet pen, cautery, and laser therapy.

Team: They have a strong clinical team of 6-7 vets, 7 RVNs, 1 SVN, 1 VCA, and 1 ANA, with a range of experience between 6 and 30 years, and a brilliant admin/reception team who keep everything running smoothly. Everyone is supportive and always try to help each other. The practice is very much part of the community.

Role: Are you looking for a place where you can spread your wings, flourish, and feel confident, knowing you are fully supported… Our client is looking for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon with experience to join their friendly team.

Hours: Their vets work a 4-days week, with one early finish each week and a 1:4 share of the Saturday morning consults between 9 am -12.30 pm. They are also delighted to chat about other part-time work to suit you too.

OOHs: There are no routine OOHs with this role; however, if you are interested in emergency care, they would be happy to discuss you joining the OOHs rota, if this is something you would like.

Duties: The days are structured so two vets are consulting, one vet is operating, and one vet looks after medical cases and inpatients and helps with the ops or in the prep room as needed. Everybody has designated operating days at least once or twice a week, and time is built in for the more complex cases where you might want a second pair of hands scrubbed in.

Skills/Exp:

• Proficient in veterinary surgical techniques
• Excellent communication skills with both pet owners and colleagues
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment
• Compassionate nature towards animals and their well-being
• This position is suitable for experienced Veterinary Surgeons as well as newly qualified professionals looking to excel in a supportive and progressive veterinary practice.

Salary: Highly competitive salary of between £35,000-£68,000 p/a (DOE)

• Generous CPD allowance, with certificates supported and funded
• Professional fees paid for RCVS, VDS, and BSAVA
• Employee assistance program
• Company pension
• On-site parking
