Kettering Vets for Pets moved to a fantastic new state of the art practice in November 2024 and we haven’t looked back. We are now looking to expand our team! We are looking to recruit an experienced Vet to join our team during this exciting time of growth. Are you an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is dedicated to maintaining high standards of patient and client care? We are a super friendly award winning, in a family feel practice with practice owners, Chris and Sarah, onsite to look after team, patients and clients.
We believe veterinary work should be expansive, rewarding and fulfilling – not limited or restrictive. That’s why we’ve created a practice where our clinical team has the facilities, support and freedom to do their very best work. We have top-flight facilities, including separate wards and waiting areas for cats, dogs and small mammals/exotics, dedicated isolation facilities, a bespoke dental suite with digital X-ray, a separate imaging suite, two theatres and a spacious prep and treatment area. Our practice was designed by Sarah and Chris to provide the very best facilities for our patients, clients and team. Our seven consultation room practice, include the larger Gracie Suite with its own private access, gives our team the space and flexibility to work in a way that suits their patients and clients’ needs. We’re proud to hold ICC Gold Standard Feline Award and RWAF Silver + Rabbit accreditation, and our team includes both Vet and Nurse Certificate holders, alongside a wonderful group of long-service colleagues who bring experience, continuity and a real sense of community. Most importantly, our onsite practice owners are actively involved and genuinely invested in supporting our team. We want our vets and nurses to have the time, resources, encouragement and clinical freedom to keep developing, enjoy their work and give their patients the care they deserve. When our team is supported to thrive, it shows in the quality of our clinical care and in the trusting, lasting relationships we build with our clients.
You will need to be confident with all routine medical and surgical cases, though due to the experience already in the team, workload/days can be tailored to your interests. You will be joining an established team with variety of individual interests including Feline Medicine certificate holder, vets with special interest in dermatology and surgery, nurses with interests in rabbits, exotics and feline nursing certificates. In fact if you have an area of particular interest this could be the practice for you as support to certificate level is encouraged and funded. Already hold a Certificate….great, we would love to hear from you, we enjoy learning from each other to develop the practice team and services offered for our clients. We have very exciting times ahead for practice development.
Our team consists of 5 FTE vets, 8 RVNs and a really lovely reception team. We see a wide variety of cases, both medical and surgical, and encourage time taken to thoroughly investigate and follow cases through, case continuity is key. Sick pet consultations are always scheduled for 20 minutes.
We are conveniently located for easy access to London, Birmingham/Midlands an hour or less away and have excellent commuter links throughout the UK. Superb villages in the surrounding area for those who prefer a village-based home life over town living, with excellent walking and wildlife habitats on our doorstep, Northamptonshire is well known as Rose of the Shires.
If this sounds of interest, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
