Our Group:
The following information aims to provide potential candidates with a better understanding of the requirements for this role.
At Pet Practice we are an exciting, independent, growing veterinary group that’s been giving a fresh look to working in the veterinary sector for the past fifteen years now. We are not a corporate focused on profit to the detriment of its clients and staff. With thirteen practices neither are we a small independent at risk from competition or takeover. We have the security of being a sizeable veterinary group but with the benefits and personal touch of being family owned. Independent is what we love and how we will remain. We do not lock our staff into working for us under the premise of joint venture and other hidden restrictions. At Pet Practice we lead the way in the packages we offer our staff and are proud that all the income we earn as a team is invested back into our staff and the facilities they work in. We’ve led the way in the salaries we offer, led the way in the holiday our nurses and vets can take at up to six weeks per annum and schedule major refits on all our clinics every ten years to keep them fresh. Whilst an ongoing schedule of investment is of paramount importance to us we continue to grow alongside this having added three new practices to our group during the last eighteen months.
Our staff’s loyalty is built around mutual respect and working with your requirements to create a job role that is right for you. No on-call and flexible rotas ensure your work life balance leaves you fresh and enthusiastic. Hear what our staff have to say by having a read on our website recruitment page.
Our Newbury Vacancy:
Come and work for us in this vibrant market town which is home to Newbury racecourse and surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the south of England. Our lovely Newbury surgery only opened last year. It has all the facilities you would expect of a modern practice including digital radiography, ultrasonography and an Idexx in-house integrated laboratory. There are dedicated surgical facilities for both our use and that of our visiting ophthalmology / soft tissue / orthopaedic surgeons.
We need dynamic vets with at least two years’ experience to come on board and join our team. For now this initial shared rota is still sole charge alongside our owner Ben, part-time vet Chloe and medical plus surgical peripatetic Teams. Ben is looking for assistance with the building caseload. There is also always plenty of support from our twenty surgeons and seventy staff across the group as well as the on-site nurses. We really do all act as a team, something we’re proud of.
