At Rathgael Garden Lodge Vets, collaboration, care, and community are at the heart of everything we do. We're excited to welcome a dedicated and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to our team. This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your career in a supportive, progressive practice that spans our well-established small animal clinics in Bangor, Holywood, and Stormont.
Our work is rewarding and varied, with a caseload that mainly involves cats and dogs but also the occasional rabbit, small furry, or even injured wildlife brought in by the local community. No two days are the same, and while the role will be based primarily at our Bangor branch, you'll also have the chance to support our other sites, keeping your work interesting and connected across the team.
Our Bangor clinic is designed to make life easier for both patients and staff. We have a spacious reception with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, two consult rooms, a dedicated theatre, prep area, diagnostic suite with X-ray, endoscope, and ultrasound, as well as a separate dental suite with dental X-ray.
Consultations here focus on continuity of care, allowing you to build lasting relationships with our loyal clients and their pets. You'll also enjoy a healthy share of surgery time, from routine spays and lump removals to abdominal surgeries and a wide range of dental procedures.
You'll be joining a close-knit group of six vets, six RVNs, and 12 support staff including receptionists, ACAs, administrators, and our practice manager. Among our vets are certificate holders in General Practice, Small Animal Surgery, and Orthopaedics, and we're proud of our commitment to mentorship and professional growth.
We understand the importance of balance, which is why we offer flexible working patterns that can be tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you're managing family commitments, or simply aiming for a better work-life balance, we'll help find a rota that works for you. Our full-time role is 40 hours per week over five days, with just 1 in 4 Saturday mornings (9-12) and no out-of-hours or on-call.
Bangor, set on the stunning shores of Belfast Lough, offers the perfect blend of seaside charm and modern convenience. With its picturesque marina, award-winning parks, lively town centre, there's plenty to enjoy.
