Background –
This is a superb opportunity for a passionate and experienced Veterinary Surgeon, with a strong background in consults and surgery, to join a very highly regarded Independent veterinary practice.
Here you will benefit from working alongside a very passionate practice owner, along with a team of 6 experienced Vet Surgeons. You will also be supported by 6 RVNs as well as further Nurse Assistants and a dedicated reception team. You will work within a bright, spacious practice with all modern equipment and work to slightly longer appointment times of 20 minutes as standard.
Work life balance and staff happiness is an extremely important factor as well so as a result you will benefit from no financial targets, no OOH or nights and only 1 in 4 weekends required (just Saturday mornings).
The practice prides itself on providing the best quality care to patients and allows longer consult times in order for Vets to spend time with the animals and to put them at ease before consulting.
Career development and progression is very much encouraged as the practice is happy to support you with certificates and further training. Each of the 6 current vets have at least one certificate so you will have plenty of support and encouragement around you.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a Vet Surgeon looking for a varied and engaging caseload to work alongside other experienced Veterinary Surgeons and to put the emphasis on patient care above financial targets.
