Job description

Our award-winning surgery is in a leafy area of West London, close to Chiswick and Kew Gardens with good transport links to Central London and close to the M4.

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.

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 is 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. One of his team members is soon due to complete their surgery certificate, and another has come from an equine background initially.

By joining us, you'll be joining a supportive, diverse, and growing team where individual interests and CPD are encouraged, and everyone's voice is 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 who may still require some level of support or confident new graduates who have already completed some time in practice.

You'll have access to 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 hour's protected lunch break, admin time, and regular meetings with monthly vet meetings when we discuss interesting cases, and three monthly practice meetings.

The hours required are full-time, working 3 and a half days a week, with a share of the weekend rota which includes working just 1 in 6 Saturdays and 1 in 6 full weekends. Two 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, a specialist-level ultrasound machine, an 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 are also a nurse training practice.

Our team also has 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 £50,000 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 support for 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

Pets just see people. They aren't biased, and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves, so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
