Job description

Our Group:

At Pet Practice, we are an exciting, independent, growing veterinary group that’s been giving a fresh look to working in the veterinary sector for the past fifteen years. We are not a corporate focused on profit to the detriment of its clients and staff. With thirteen practices, neither are we a small independent at risk from competition or takeover. We have the security of being a sizeable veterinary group but with the benefits and personal touch of being family-owned. Independent is what we love and how we will remain. We do not lock our staff into working for us under the premise of joint venture and other hidden restrictions. At Pet Practice, we lead the way in the packages we offer our staff and are proud that all the income we earn as a team is invested back into our staff and the facilities they work in. We’ve led the way in the salaries we offer, led the way in the holiday our nurses and vets can take at up to six weeks per annum, and schedule major refits on all our clinics every ten years to keep them fresh. Whilst an ongoing schedule of investment is of paramount importance to us, we continue to grow alongside this, adding new practices to the group.

Our staff’s loyalty is built around mutual respect and working with your requirements to create a job role that is right for you. No on-call and flexible rotas ensure your work-life balance leaves you fresh and enthusiastic. Hear what our staff have to say by having a read on our website recruitment page.

Our Basingstoke Vacancy:

Our brand-new Basingstoke surgery is now open. It has all the facilities you would expect of a modern practice, including digital radiography, ultrasonography, and an Idexx in-house integrated laboratory. There are dedicated surgical facilities for both our use and that of our visiting referral surgeons. We are located adjacent to a new Pets Corner in the busy Chineham Retail Park, offering plenty of footfall.

We need dynamic vets with at least two years’ experience to come on board and join our team. This initial shared rota will be sole charge but alongside our owner Ben and visiting orthopaedic plus soft tissue referral surgeons. There is also always plenty of support from our 25 surgeons and 100 staff across the group, as well as the on-site nurses. We really do all act as a team, something we’re proud of.

The Package:

• Salary £50,000 to £80,000 commensurate with experience and hours
• Full-time = 4-day week and every other Saturday morning. Part-time hours also available
• No on call, no working Sundays, no working bank holidays
• Up to six weeks leave in addition to the above
• Loyalty bonus scheme
• Staff recruitment reward scheme
• CPD encouraged with a generous budget
• RCVS and VDS fees paid
• Staff animals treated at cost
• 25-35% Pets Corner shop discount
