Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal role at IVC Evidensia
Salary up to £50,000 DOE
Pool House Veterinary Group is a 24hr, 4 site practice. We are a team of 20 vets with a wide range of experience and skills including certificate holders in Anaesthesia, ECC, Imaging and Surgery, with more of our team working towards additional certificates.
We are a busy practice with a truly varied workload. We run our own OOH with a team of designated night vets and nurses, but many of our day team opt to partake in our night rota. We encourage new/recent graduates to be involved with this rota as we feel it is an excellent way to learn and develop your skills, with the reassurance of a support rota from the senior vet team if needed.
Ideally we are offering a 4 day week with a set day off, 10 hour days. Shifts run 8.30am – 7pm with a share of late shift (11am–9pm). Weekends are on rota basis (approx 1 in 5). Saturday and Sunday 10 hour shifts with equivalent time off in lieu the following week. Contribution to night rota is encouraged but negotiable.
Our practice boasts a number of facilities including X‑ray, dental X‑ray, laparoscopic surgery, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, ultrasound and comprehensive lab.
We are a long‑standing practice with a dedicated and supportive team. We pride ourselves on high standards of patient care and customer service.
We think this role is best suited to someone recently graduated who wants to grow and develop their skills, but we also welcome applications from those with more experience and established strengths.
