We are a proudly independent small animal and exotics practice in beautiful Norfolk caring for pets and exotics including referral services in exotics, CT scanning, laser therapy, acupuncture and cardiology. We are looking for a veterinary surgeon to join our day vet team providing exceptional client and patient care balanced with an excellent work-life balance including rota'd 4 day weekends off work!
The experience expected from applicants, as well as additional skills and qualifications needed for this job are listed below.
Since opening in 2014 as a purpose built practice we have grown to a 6 vet (day) and 4 vet (night) team with an amazing support team including 9 RVN’s, SVN's, ANA’s and Receptionists. Our experienced team of RVNs also all have areas of expertise such as behaviour and exotics and undertake a wealth of clinics for our clients. We really are a genuinely happy team who enjoys working together to offer the best service to our lovely, loyal clients.
We are accredited as ‘Gold Feline Friendly’, Gold Rabbit Friendly and Dog-friendly and committed to providing high-quality care and this includes continued investment in the skills of our team and our facilities including addition of our onsite CT scanner, laser therapy, cryopen, Platelet regeneration therapy / Stem cell equipment, digital and dental xray, brand new ultrasound machine, multiple video endoscopes, multi-parameter monitors, in house digital cytology and much more!
We have a varied and interesting medical and surgical caseload with a high retention of cases in house. Please don’t be put off by the exotic caseload as there is always support available and we’re happy to share our knowledge and provide training if needed.
We are ideally looking for a vet with some experience, however, we would be happy to hear from less experienced vets too as our team can provide support when needed. Full support for certificates is available and if you already have a certificate and would like to expand our referral service offering then we are open to that too!
Our full-time vets work a 4-day week and our rota is designed to include 4-day weekends off work to allow mini breaks and a genuinely good work-life balance. Our shifts are 8.30am to 7 pm, with daily 30-minute rounds scheduled for 8.30am and 6.30pm to allow us to make plans for the day and hand over cases to our onsite night team. A consultation-only role could be accommodated if desired.
We recently established our own dedicated night team of vets so we could provide a better service for both our patients and our team, and this means there are no nights for our day vets. During the week our night team also offers evening consultations between 7 pm to 9.30pm which helps our day vets be able to leave on time.
