Job description

Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Northwich

Type: Small Animal

Practice Type: Independent practice across two sites

Facilities: Their flagship Hospital is an independent RCVS accredited small animal hospital, nurse training practice, and gold cat-friendly clinic which strives to provide the highest standards of first opinion care for patients and clients. They have two theatres, a dental suite including dental radiography, an in-house lab with IDEXX blood and urinalysis machines (including sedivue), an EPOC machine, high-quality ultrasound, video endoscope, and laparoscope. Their new purpose-built standalone practice opened four years ago. Here they provide the same standard of care, with only overnight inpatient care being transferred to the hospital.

Team:

• They have eight vets with Advanced Practitioners in Anaesthesia, ECC, and Medicine and a diplomat orthopaedic surgeon.
• They are fully supported by an experienced and dedicated front-of-house team.
• Their visiting Specialist vets in Soft Tissue Surgery, Cardiology, and Diagnostic imaging allow them to provide an exceptional standard of care to all patients and the opportunity to care for interesting and challenging cases.
• Their fantastic nursing team of eight RVNs and two SVNs is led by a DipAVN and includes ECC certificate holders. They are integral to the practice.

Role: Our client is seeking an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their friendly team. They are ideally looking for someone with about 2 years of experience but would consider more or less experience for the right candidate.

Candidates: The right candidates will truly care for patients, be good team players and be enthusiastic, proactive, and motivated to provide a high-quality first-opinion service to patients and clients. They provide consistent support and the opportunity to improve and grow as a vet. Post-graduate qualifications are encouraged.

Hours:

• Their vets enjoy a four-day week - plus two days off in lieu for working a weekend (Saturday and Sunday 8 am – 5 pm).
• The weekend rota is currently 1:8.
• They use a dedicated out-of-hours provider for on-call, but their inpatients are cared for by their RVN team and the hospital is staffed 24/7.
• The vets share responsibility for the inpatients (1:8 nights).

Support: As an employer, they are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health of all their staff. They have a very friendly and inclusive team right across the practice with vets, nurses, and reception staff all supporting each other - they are looking for the right candidates to maintain and enhance this.

Salary: They aim to reward their Veterinary Surgeons with very competitive salaries - £38,000 - £70,000 p/a - depending on experience and further qualifications.

• They value all their team and strive to provide both a good work-life balance and real job satisfaction.
• Scheduled admin time
• Social club
• Trained mental health first aiders within the team
• Paid memberships
• Pension
