Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal

Alexander Veterinary Centre; Barrow-in-Furness; On-site; GBP 63,000; Part time

Job description

Salary: Up to £63,000 Plus Welcome Bonus up to £5000 and Relocation Allowance up to £5000

We have an excellent opportunity for a part-time Veterinary Surgeon to join our team here at Alexander Vets. We are a well-established and popular small animal practice who work to the highest standards.

Role Overview: We see various caseloads enabling you to split your time evenly between consults and operations with medical and clinical freedom to work up your cases as well as sole charge work. We see a fair amount of dental work as well as cases with patients with arthritis and hyperthyroidism enabling regular case work ups with our IDEXX lab station.

We fully encourage and support you to pursue additional certificates, so if there is a certificate you have your eye on or even in the midst of - let us know and we will be happy to support!

Work-Life Balance: Our current requirement is for 20 hours per week working Monday and Tuesday 8:30am - 6:15pm; however, if you are looking for more or less hours, we would still like to hear from you. The role will include consultations and operations daily, with no OOH. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance and we are also open to adjusting start times to fit in with a school run or commute if required.

Location: Based on the outskirts of the Lake District, we are close to some of the most scenic views the country has to offer. If you love the great outdoors and want to escape city life, this is a great location for walking, photography, water sports, hiking, and adventure sports. We recently benefitted from a practice refurbishment, so we are modern and well-equipped.

Team Structure: You will join a team of 2 vets with a wealth of clinical experience, 3 RVNs, 1 SVN, 2 Receptionists, our Practice Manager, and Practice Director. We also work very closely with our sister site, so there is a great support network in place with lots of opportunity to learn.

This role is a fantastic opportunity for a vet looking to work within a close-knit team, to lead with high-quality patient care with the support of our superb nursing team who are always on hand.

Benefits: In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from:

1. 6.6 weeks annual leave including bank holidays
2. Increasing holiday allowance based on length of service
3. Your birthday as a paid day off
4. Enhanced family-friendly policies, including maternity/paternity/adoption/shared parental and surrogacy pay
5. Private Medical Insurance
6. Cycle to Work scheme
7. Initiatives focused on employee wellbeing, including discounted gym membership
8. £1,250 CPD allowance with 5 days paid CPD leave (pro-rata for part time)
9. Certificate support
10. Access to Vetlexicon - our online encyclopaedia provider
11. Pension 5% Employee/3% Employer
12. Discounted staff pet care
