We have an exciting opportunity due to expansion, for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team here at South Lincs Vet Group.
There is a large and varied case load of both medical and surgical cases. Duties are split between consulting and operating. There is a high orthopaedic caseload through the practice, and there would be room for another surgeon to develop their skills in this area. Equally an interest in imaging would be encouraged. This role is based at our Sutterton hospital with shifts at branch practices.
Rota patterns that work for you
Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle no matter what stage you are in your career.
40 hours 4 days per week. 2 Blocks of 4-night shifts per year. 1:8 weekend rota.
About Us
The practice has a spacious, well-equipped hospital and four satellite branches. There is a large and varied case load of both medical and surgical cases, and our vets have clinical freedom. The hospital has recently been extended and is well equipped with top class imaging (digital x-ray, CT scanner, ultrasound, video endoscope including laparoscopic kit), a wide range of surgical and orthopaedic equipment, four sterile theatres, dental x-ray, ECG, tonopen and slit lamp, Class 4 laser, extensive lab, spacious dog and cat kennels and a large isolation area. Each branch has biochem, haematology, UA and microscope, a sterile theatre, with imaging available at some. We run our own dedicated night service for our own clients and other local practices.
South Lincs Vet Group is located near Boston, with excellent road links in all directions, and rail links to London and nationwide via Peterborough. We are very close to the rugged wetland coastline of the wash, and RSPB Frampton Marsh is just down the road from the practice. The beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and the Norfolk coast are within easy day trip distance. Here the skies are huge, the people are friendly, and cost of living is very affordable.
About The Team And Culture
Our friendly, experienced, and supportive team are committed to offering high standards of clinical care. Within our team of 15 vets we have colleagues who have completed or are studying towards further qualifications in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, internal medicine, dermatology, and ophthalmology. There is a dedicated hospital vet shift and hospitalised cases are discussed daily at clinical rounds. We are proud to strive for clinical excellence. The vets are well supported by an experienced and conscientious team of Registered and Student Veterinary Nurses, many of whom are pursuing further qualifications, and excellent support staff. We are a friendly crew and never fail to help newcomers feel at ease.
