As well as everything you would expect in a busy first opinion practice, Shenfield also has ultrasound and K-Laser facilities.

You will be surrounded by a highly experienced team with multiple RVN’s and support colleagues, and a part-time senior vet at Shenfield. You will also be supported by a dedicated regional manager whose support is invaluable to her branches in the region, and a regional head vet for any clinical queries you may have, as John has a wealth of knowledge to pass on!

To join our existing teams, we are looking for an additional vet in Shenfield on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Wednesdays in Gidea Park, giving you every Monday and Thursday off.

• Carry out consultations, thoroughly examining all pets presented and making management and treatment recommendations which are based on best practice and are evidence-based and in accordance with GVG protocols.
• Perform GP surgery on cases as appropriate and within boundaries of personal competence and limitation of overnight care.
• Maintain, prescribe and dispense all medications in accordance with appropriate current medicines legislation and RCVS guidance.
• Record accurate and thorough clinical notes and ensure that pets’ histories are accurate comprehensive and useful to colleagues.
• Be prepared to refer cases in a timely manner, in the first instance to a GVG Hospital, when there is an inability to undertake a case for whatever reason.
• Help to maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment
