Are you a vet with a passion for herd health and population medicine? Do you enjoy working with proactive clients who always want to drive their business forwards? If so a career in our independent pig practice could be for you. We cover a broad mixture of farms including single site family businesses and large national integrators, as well as providing the pig vet teaching to the University of Nottingham.
We are looking for a highly motivated veterinary surgeon to be part of our team of 5 vets covering pig farms across the UK. Although we are spread out geographically, we are a close-knit group who meet fortnightly to discuss clinical matters.
Obviously previous experience with commercial pigs would be a benefit but it is not essential. If you have worked in general production animal practice you will be amazed at how many of your existing skills are transferable to this more specialist area. What matters most to us is finding a new teammate who it is enjoyable to work alongside and willing to throw themselves into learning the ropes - a process through which they will be supported by the full team.
We are looking for somebody who is, or can be, based in Yorkshire or the East Midlands. Our vets are provided with a company vehicle, and when not on farm, our vets complete paperwork from home. We are completely set-up to support vets working in this manner as it is the model we have always operated. Once established, our vets tend to manage their own diaries and working weeks, allowing elements of flexibility. Though it is important that candidates understand that the hours worked from one day to the next will naturally vary, and also that the job will entail substantial amounts of driving.
The post comes with:
* Salary to be negotiated which will be competitive with the market.
* 5 weeks holiday + bank holidays.
* Practically no night or weekend work.
* Generous company pension scheme
* Private medical insurance
* Company vehicle
We are open to applications from newly qualified vets.
Please call to discuss further. We are also happy for potential candidates to speak to the other assistants in the practice to get a better feel as to what to expect - contact details can be provided.
