Want to work in a brand new, state of the art small animal hospital?
We are looking for a forward thinking, driven and conscientious vet to join our experienced and well-established vet team of 13, ideally with 2 + years of post-qualification experience, who is ready to thrive in a fast-paced hospital, managing inpatients and complex cases.
Our hospital has three theatres, a large prep room, a quiet room, four wards with CASCO heated kennels, 10 consulting rooms, bedrooms for OOH colleagues, and an amazing colleague room and kitchen to enjoy your breaks. We have a dedicated pharmacy team, so you won’t have to dispense your own medications from consults, and they will help process all medication requests. We run on 20 minute appointments, with plenty of diary capacity and space. We do video consults and there is the opportunity to be involved in driving this side of the business.
We are proud of our internal out of hours service. We can keep our interesting and exciting cases in house, and don’t need to refer out. We don't do OOH as "on-call" – you work your OOH shift as your paid hours for the week.
What’s the practice like? Watch what our vets said here!
We have a culture to develop and grow the vets – you are never on your own, no branch work and we can support you to thrive in the workplace and enjoy being a vet.
