Salary up to £72,000 DOE
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we’re trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
We have an exciting new opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at the Nantwich and Wistaston branches! We are looking for an experienced Vet who is happy doing routines as well as taking on more complicated procedures and cases, and supporting younger members of staff.
We would like someone with an ophthalmology bias, as we’ve recently lost our Ophtho cert holder and have a slit lamp, tonometer and operating microscope that need to be used. We offer an excellent balance between consults and ops, with every vet having the opportunity to do both consults and surgeries in every shift worked.
We offer 15‑minute consults and insert catch‑up slots in between to allow vets to catch‑up if a consult runs over, to write notes, make phone calls, or discuss cases with other vets.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
