Job description

Welcome to Shenfield! This impressive first opinion practice in the heart of popular Brentwood in Essex is looking for an additional vet to join their already experienced clinical team, on a part-time basis. This 3 day week role also provides some variety, with one day per week working in our incredibly popular Gidea Park practice.

About your new role!

Shenfield and Gidea Park are very popular sites, and therefore they have a great caseload for surgical and medical cases.

Due to the nature of the caseload we are looking for a vet who is confident in all routine GP surgery.

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. The role includes a 1:4 Saturday rotation at Gidea Park, and a 1:8 Wanstead Hospital Sunday rotation plus 1-2 bank holidays per year and being included in the last resort on-call rotation.

If you were looking for full-time hours, we would be happy to explore options.

As part of your initial induction period, you will be given the opportunity to spend a day in the hospital to meet the team and get au-fait with your surroundings.

As a branch veterinary surgeon, some of your duties will include:

• 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.

Shenfield’s location is ideal! You are a 5-minute drive from bustling Brentwood High-street, you have the countryside on your doorstep and are only an 8-minute walk from Shenfield station on the Elizabeth Line, taking you straight into central London, meaning you really do have the best of both with this location.

Gidea Park is also within a 3-minute walk to the nearest tube station on the Elizabeth Line, giving you easy comfortable access to London.

Now let's delve into the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:

The salary band for this position depending on prior experience and allowing room for growth within the role is £45,000 to £72,000 (full-time equivalent based on 40-hours per week).

A little snippet of the benefits you will receive as a Goddard vet:

• 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata if part-time)
• Generous relocation assistance (where applicable)
• Up to £2,000 CPD budget every year plus up to 5 days’ paid CPD leave (pro rata if part-time)
• Private Medical Healthcare Insurance with Bupa

We are committed to providing a fair recruitment process with equality of opportunity for all, and our vacancies are open to those from all backgrounds. As an employer, we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health of all our people.
