Overview
Inglis Vets have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our large friendly team. In this role you will have a good mixture of hospital shifts where we see more complex cases and take care of patients needing more intensive treatment and hospitalisation. Working as part of a bigger team supported by RVNS, ACAs and Client Care. We are happy to consider both full/part-time applications; full-time would be 4 days per week Monday to Friday.
We have our own inhouse Out of Hours service and we also cover out of hours for a couple of small local practices. We have experienced Night Nurses onsite working all night to give the best patient care. Duty shifts are normally on a 1 in 12 rotation. Weekend day shifts are also on rotation (1 in 12 approximately).
