Veterinary Surgeon – Busy independent with good work life balance
Background –
This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate and experienced Veterinary Surgeon, with a strong background in consults and surgery.
Here you will benefit from working alongside an established team of 4 other vets and 8 RVNs in addition to a dedicated admin and management team. You will work within a bright, spacious practice with modern equipment and working to 15 minute appointments as standard, with longer given for specific appointments. There is no OOH requirement and only 1 in 5 weekends required (just Saturday mornings).
The practice would require a Friday covering, however, aside from this there is a great deal of flexibility on exact days and hours. You will benefit from a varied caseload of consults and surgery and the practice is very supportive of further CPD and investing in their staff to help you develop further clinically.
This is a true independent practice having recently invested in a lovely new building with a very driven and ambitions partnership and management team.
