Overview
Join to apply for the Consult Only Vet - Small Animal role at IVC Evidensia UK.
We are looking for an enthusiastic GP Vet to work in our single vet, consult-only clinic, with the opportunity for a fixed shift at one of our other branches. We have a lovely welcoming team across 8 sites in Bristol and Cheltenham, run by an experienced team of Clinical Directors and Senior Vets, many of whom have been with the practice for more than a decade.
What’s on offer
* Support from experienced colleagues with Certificates in Surgery, Cardiology, Feline Medicine, and Small Animal Medicine
* Certificates in-progress and other qualifications in subjects such as Behaviour, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture
* Working week of four days with participation in the shared weekend rota
* No night duties or bank holiday work (Redland Hospital is the host practice for the Vets Now Bristol Clinic)
Opportunities with Clifton Vets
* The Clifton clinic is a single-vet, consult-only site; role may involve a fixed shift at our busy hospital site with support from an experienced team
* Opportunity to take on some management of the site if this is of interest
Join our supportive team
The site will be refurbished in the near future to maintain high standards of care for our dedicated client base. You will be supported by experienced receptionists and a registered vet nurse. We are ideally seeking a full-time candidate who would join the weekend rota, but part-time applications will be considered.
About You
We are looking for a Vet with more than 1 year of post-graduation experience. The candidate must be able and willing to perform GP work, including consultations. Although complex cases may be referred to the hospital team, you would be the sole vet in the Clifton branch, so confidence in sole-charge work is necessary. The ideal candidate will be organised and a good communicator with clients and colleagues.
