About the team and interests

You’ll be joining a talented and friendly clinical team as well as a fantastic supportive non-clinical team.

We hold a variety of interests within our clinical team too with 2 of our vets already holding certificates in medicine and surgery.

• Use and assess imaging technologies; digital X-ray and ultrasound; and consider the purchase of further specialist equipment if beneficial to the team and practice.
• Maintain a flexible working arrangement: fully flexible hours, full or part-time, with 1 in 3 weekends on a fair rota basis (discussed for the right candidate).
• Minimal sole charge and no OOHs responsibility to support work/life balance and collaboration.

Requirements

• Experienced Veterinary Surgeon (3+ years qualified).
• Confident with all routine surgical and medical cases; personable and approachable with clients, patients and the wider team.

Benefits and Details

• Salary up to £65,000 dependent on experience.
• Excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 20% off at Pets at Home).
