Overview
Inglis Vets have an exciting opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our large friendly team. This role includes a mix of hospital shifts where we see more complex cases and care for patients needing more intensive treatment and hospitalisation, and branch shifts for routine work within a smaller team while developing a local client caseload. We are happy to consider both full- and part-time applications; full-time would be 4 days per week Monday to Friday. We have our own in-house Out of Hours service and cover out of hours for a couple of local practices. Night nurses are onsite to support patient care. Duty shifts are normally on a 1 in 12 rotation and weekend day shifts are on rotation (1 in 12 approximately).
About Us
We are a busy and well-established vet practice with a main hospital and 8 branches located in Fife and Central Scotland. We provide an excellent care plan and our own out of hours services. Our Cowdenbeath Branch is a clinical training centre for RDSVS Vet Students. Our Hospital Hill branch features a hydrotherapy treadmill. Our branches are easily accessible, but a full driving licence and own transportation is a must.
Team and Culture
We have a passionate and hardworking team of 100 employees, including around 40 Registered Veterinary Nurses and Animal Care Assistants, 30 Vets and 30 Support Staff. In addition to our permanent staff, we have a visiting orthopaedic surgeon, ophthalmologist and dermatologist. We are committed to developing our teams and currently have vets studying for certificates in medicine and surgery with opportunities for new graduates and student nurses.
