Job description

Come and join our successful practices at Cambridge Bar Hill and Cambridge Beehive, where we have an exciting opportunity for a friendly and enthusiastic RVN to join us, where a four-day week on a full-time salary will be standard!

About Us

Hayley Baker became partner of Cambridge Vets for Pets in 2015 and since then, the two practices at Bar Hill and the Beehive Centre have gone from strength to strength.

Our Bar Hill practice is just over two years old and built to the highest standards, including separate dental suite, imaging suite and laparoscopic theatre, alongside our standard theatre and five consult rooms. We have state of the art equipment including digital X-ray, dental xray, full orthopaedic equipment, extensive endoscopic and laparoscopic equipment, ultrasound and in-house laboratory facilities. We also are a Clinical Academy Practice for Vets for Pets, providing laparoscopic surgical training to other Vets for Pets Practices in our purpose build training room with laparoscopic simulator.

At the practices we see a wide variety of surgical and medical cases with a high percentage of clients being insured allowing our team to work up cases to a high standard. Laparoscopic bitch spays are performed as standard and we will soon be taking referrals for endoscopy and laparoscopy cases, which we can offer training for you if you don’t have experience in this area or need a refresher!

You will be joining a supportive, energetic, and progressive team consisting of a large number of Vets and Nurses split across the two sites. The team benefits from a variety of experience and individual interests, including advanced surgery, diagnostic imaging, feline medicine, anaesthesia, soft tissue surgery, endoscopy and laparoscopy, with many holding certificates in these areas.

The practice is Practice Standard Scheme Accredited and has Silver Level ISFM Cat Friendly status.

About You And The Role

Our current team of RVNs are integral in setting our clinical standard and protocols and take an active role in day-to-day management of the practices and we want someone who wants to be a part of this too.

We encourage all of our colleagues to be their best and achieve their careers goals. We are passionate about developing every member of the team and actively promote ongoing CPD and also encourage certificates and advanced qualifications.

This role would be full time working 40 hours a week. Work life balance is at the forefront of our practices currently and for that reason you would work a four-day week and receive a full-time salary, including a paid lunch break. Weekends are based on a rota basis, approx. 1 in 5 Saturday and Sunday, with time off in lieu. Due to the flexibility in practice, we can consider part time hours as well.

Our Cambridge Bar Hill practice is a dual practice alongside our practice in Beehive. Please note you may be required to cover shifts over both practices.

Benefits

• Competitive salary starting from £30,000 (DOE, FTE)
• Healthy work life balance
• Contributory pension scheme
• Unlimited CPD funding
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and the Vet Group.
• Pastoral care, emotional wellbeing, and support
• No OOH
• Paid memberships- RCVS, BVA, VDS
• 4 Day Week (40 hours week) for full time salary
