Before we delve into the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:

Our senior vet salary band inclusive of weekend rotation is £63,000 to £83,000 (FTE) depending on prior experience, and development within the role.

We are also looking for an additional part-time vet to join the team on either a 2 or 3 day week basis (plus weekend rotation) to crossover with the senior vet 1 day per week. If you were looking for additional days this can of course be explored within the region as we could explore 2 days in Putney, and 2 days in another nearby practice.

About the role

The current rota for this position is Monday to Wednesday (however we can also accommodate a 4-day week, and offer flexibility on the days). In addition to a part-time vet where you will have a day of cross-over, you will also be working alongside a fantastic senior RVN, and passionate trainee nurses.

Your rota is inclusive of a 1:3 branch Saturday and 1:10 hospital Sunday rotation, plus 1 bank holiday per year.

Our Putney practice location has a true London ‘village’ feel, just a short walk from the River Thames, Putney High Street, and Putney Station. It is situated at the end of a beautiful Victorian high street with a true café culture atmosphere.

The clients at Putney are amazing, incredibly bonded to the team and are largely insured.

You will be fully supported by a dedicated regional manager, and our 24-hour Stone Lion hospital that is just a 15-minute drive away, where you can refer more complex cases, and who also provide our OOH services.

You will also have additional clinical support from our integral regional head vet Julie, who has a wealth of clinical and management knowledge to pass on.

If you can see yourself in this role press apply now, and within 60 seconds your application will be with our recruitment manager Rose. Alternatively, please feel free to email her directly at [e-mail] for any other queries or to simply arrange a call and have a chat about other opportunities!

In 2022, we celebrated our 70th anniversary and now have 46 branches, three hospitals and our own nurse training college. We value all of our colleagues, and our forward-looking approach means we have introduced a Colleague Forum to listen to our peers’ views, as well as monthly Town Hall meetings with our board of directors communicating real time updates and taking polls with live Q&As to ensure we’re making the right, collaborative decisions for our people. All our senior managers are mental health first aid trained and we offer Wellness plans for all new starters.
