We have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join us at Vale Vets, Dursley. This is a first opinion role that offers a well-balanced caseload of surgery, medicine and consulting.
About the rota
Ideally, we’re looking for someone to join us on a full-time basis, working 40 hours per week over 4 days. There’s also additional requirements for 1 in 8 full weekends, 1 in 8 Saturday mornings and 1 late shift (12pm - 10pm) per fortnight. TOIL is given for OOH work. We could consider a part time role, but this would still need to be at a minimum of 30 hours per week.
About us
Currently we have 10 First Opinion Clinicians, 8 Referral Vets, around 30 Nursing Staff and a dynamic management team of 5. We have certificate holders in our First Opinion team and we're lucky to have the support of specialists within our Referral team. We have all the modern facilities that you’d expect: including digital X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, CT and extensive animal care facilities. We have 24-hour nursing cover; the on-call vet is responsible for the hospitalised in-patients, and you will have the option of accepting emergencies after 10pm (for renumeration) or passing them over to neighbouring external OOH clinics.
Here's what the team have to say
‘At Vale you are spoilt with a modern hospital with all the mod cons, but actually, the best thing about working here is the people. The first opinion team are an experienced team who look out for each other, and having the referral team in the same building means you can always pop into their office for advice. If you want to work up your own interesting case you can, and they will be there to scrub into a surgery with you or help you run a CT scan. This balance provides great job satisfaction.’ - Zephanie, Veterinary Surgeon
