Lead Talent Partner - Veterinary Referral Clinicians at IVC Evidensia
Be part of our phenomenal emergency team and expand your emergency and critical care skills, alongside our team of experienced and talented out-of-hours nurses and animal care assistants. You would work in our dedicated emergency hospital, which houses a large ICU with cutting-edge equipment, and would be responsive for running our first-opinion service and assisting our Referral Clinicians in providing high-quality care 24/7.
The role provides an excellent opportunity for candidates who have an interest in emergency and critical care (with many of our vets and nurses studying further qualifications in this area), due to the interesting and varied case-load from our 16 out-of-hour practices, and our fantastic Referral team. There is a great and diverse mixture of consulting, in-patient and critical care and emergency surgery and procedures, with opportunity to supplement this with CPD and journal clubs.The role is pre-dominantly sole charge, but advice is always just a phone call away from our Referral Clinicians.
Our typical night vet rota consists of 7 nights on, and 14 nights off on a rolling basis, and we are currently looking to fulfil a 9 month fixed term contract. However, as a part of our commitment to support flexible working patterns, where appropriate, we would be happy to discuss alternative schedules.
