Job description

We have an opening for a Veterinary Surgeon to join us on a permanent basis at our busy Greater Manchester Animal Hospital. If you are looking for some flexibility to fit in with your home life, we can offer great hours (35 hour working week) with roughly half of shifts finishing at 4pm!

Working hours:

Day shifts 8am - 4pm

Late shifts 2 - 10pm (and on call overnight, for inpatient concerns)

Float shift 10am - 6pm

Participating in a weekend rota, working 1 in 7 weekends, with time off in lieu.

Call outs and standby time is additionally compensated.

At RSPCA we are invested in learning and growth so you will receive training in new skills such as forensics, cruelty case work and the implementation of shelter medicine. The opening also offers the opportunity to work closely with our Inspectorate and to be involved with new projects to improve animal welfare and make an impact on society wide protocols and policies.

Do you have any questions and want to get an honest feel for the work that we do? Why not ask Alice, one of our most recent Vets who joined our team? If you would prefer to talk to one of our longer stay Vets then we can arrange that too! You can contact us via email: [e-mail] and in the subject area put ‘Chat with Alice' or if you prefer ‘Chat with one of the Vet team'.
