Job description

Award-winning surgery - all levels of experience considered - Leafy West London location.

Based inside a recently redeveloped Pets at Home store in Brentford our practice is part of a new "concept" site combining veterinary care and a range of other pet services. Close to Chiswick and Kew Gardens, there are good transport links to Central London and we're also close to the M4.

The team:
You'll be working alongside a team of 5 other vets with over 50+ years of experience between them, all committed to delivering an inclusive work environment and outstanding level of service.

The team are led by Practice Owner Attila who as a VetGDP Adviser, has been mentoring vets for over 10 years now and is passionate about developing his team, with one of his team having recently completed their surgery certificate, and another of the team having come from an equine background initially.

And so, by joining us you'll be joining a supportive, diverse and growing team where individual interests and CPD are encouraged and everyone's voice heard.

You and the role:
Due to the nature of this role and the fantastic team you'll be joining, we welcome applications from vets of all levels of experience - confident, experienced vets, candidates who may still require some level of support, new graduates who have already completed some-time in practice, to new graduates with no experience.

You'll have access to the all the equipment you'd expect from a thriving GP practice and consultations are all 30 minutes long to allow a more thorough workup of cases. Our days include an hours' protected lunch break, admin time and regular meetings with monthly vet meetings when we discuss interesting cases, and 3 monthly practice meetings.

The hours required are full time working 3 and a half days a week and with a share of the weekend rota which includes working just 1 in 6 Saturdays and 1 in 6 full weekends. 2 weekends off are followed by a Saturday only weekend, then 2 weekends off again, before the full weekend.

The practice:
Our surgery is modern, purpose built and well equipped with digital X-ray, specialist level ultrasound machine, automatic sediment analyzer and a new dental x-ray machine on the way. We focus mainly on medical cases and soft tissue surgery. Orthopaedic operations are carried out by a visiting certificate holder at present, but we have our own orthopaedic equipment to allow aspiring surgeons to expand into this area. We also offer the ideal setting to develop your imaging and exotics skills and furthermore are also a nurse training practice.

Our team also have access to a spacious and comfortable staff/recreation room to relax in and take a break.

The benefits:
As well as an exceptional working environment, we're delighted to be able to offer

• Salary up to £60 000 p.a. commensurate with experience
• 5.6 weeks holiday
• Life Assurance 4 x Annual Salary
• Contributory Pension Scheme
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
• CPD encouraged and happy to support certificates or equivalent.
• No OOH
• Cycle to work scheme
• Access to Colleague Assistance Programmes - Retail Trust, Port of Call and MHFA
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home, The Groom Room and Vet Group
• Vet GDP advisor and Graduate Programme for new graduates
