Ready for Your Next Step as a GP Vet?
We're looking for a confident and committed Veterinary Surgeon to take the reins at our Clevedon branch (Alexandra Vets). This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants increased responsibility and leadership without stepping into a Clinical Director role.
The Role
This is a 12-month fixed-term position, ideally offering 34 hours across four days per week. The role includes 2-3 days of sole charge at our Clevedon site (Alexandra Vets), and 1-2 days at our main hospital in Portishead, with no out of hours responsibilities. We are open to discussing flexible working hours to suit the right candidate. Time spent at our main hospital supports integration with the wider team and provides the opportunity to benefit from their shared clinical expertise.
About Us
Our team consists of 10 vets, ranging from new graduates to experienced GPs, including certificate holders in medicine and ECC, as well as an Advanced Practitioner in Ophthalmology. This wealth of experience ensures lively and collaborative clinical discussions.
We are well equipped with diagnostic and clinical tools, including laparoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasonography, digital and dental radiography, in-house laboratory facilities, and multi-parameter monitoring equipment.
We emphasize work-life balance, ensuring breaks are taken, no one feels overworked, and everyone finishes on time. We're a friendly and supportive team, looking for someone who will care for their patients and enjoy being part of a close-knit practice.
