Head Veterinary Surgeon

British Veterinary Association; Scunthorpe; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 60,000

Job description

An opportunity has arisen for a confident and forward-thinking Head Veterinary Surgeon to join the team at our rapidly growing practice in Scunthorpe!

This is a unique opportunity for you to get stuck into a growing business by bringing your ideas to life to help expand this brilliant practice further. You'll become a crucial part of a small, friendly team of 1 Vet (studying for a certificate in advanced surgery), 3 RVNs, 1 SVNs, 1 VCA, 2 Client Care Advisors and a Practice Manager, who are fully committed to the practice and our clients.

Our caseload is everything you would expect from an established general practice, offering you plenty of variation to utilise the skills you have gained to date. Your career growth is just as important to us as it is to you, and we will help you with any specific interests you have, with a generous CPD allowance and certification encouraged and fully funded.

As standard, in addition to a salary of up to £80,000 + £5,000 relocation/welcome bonus, we offer all the benefits you'd expect from a major employer (pension, healthcare, paid memberships etc.) plus a few more, such as excellent career progression and exclusive lifestyle and shopping discounts (up to 30% off at Pets at Home). We're also happy to provide relocation packages from within or outside the UK, including visa sponsorship if needed (we're an A+ rated sponsor).

This position can be fully flexible hours, full or part time, with Saturdays on a fair rota basis, shared with the rest of the team. No on call, no OOH and no Sundays! You should be confident in routine surgical and medical cases and comfortable with sole charge. An interest in surgery would also be beneficial, but not a necessity.

Scunthorpe Vets4Pets has the latest state of the art equipment and mod-cons and is based inside Pets at Home on the Lakeside Retail Park. Travelling to and from the practice is easy with bus links within a 5-minute walk, which includes a connection to the nearby train station.
