Veterinary Surgeon – Mixed – Clare Vets

Vet Group; Ballymena; On-site; GBP 50,000 - 66,000

Job description

Salary: up to £66,000 and up to £5,000 relocation allowance

Due to retirement, Clare Vets is on the lookout for a passionate and dedicated Mixed Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly, supportive, and growing team!

As a well-established mixed practice, we primarily care for small animals, with less than a quarter of our work dedicated to farm animals and a small amount of equine cases. Our small animal patients range from dogs and cats to rabbits, small furries, and even some exotics. Our large animal work is a good mixture of dairy and beef alongside some sheep and equine work.

As a mixed veterinary surgeon with Clare Vets, you will spend just over two-thirds of your time in small animal care, over 20% in farm work, and a small amount of time dedicated to equine work. In this role, you’ll spend about two-thirds of your time in consultations, building strong relationships with our clients and their pets, while the remaining third will be dedicated to surgery.

As a busy hospital, we see a wide range of procedures, from routine neutering and dentals to more advanced soft tissue surgeries, BOAS procedures, TECA, and minor orthopaedics. Our large animal work is generally obstetrics, RDAs, and LDAs.

Full-time working is 40 hours a week; however, part-time would be considered for the right candidate. The schedule includes 1 in 4 weekends and one set night on call each week, alternating with first on duty one week and standby the following, with time off in lieu for weekends and on call.

To apply or find out more, contact Amelia Bateman at [e-mail] or call 07970 240849.
