Job Description

With approachable, flexible and caring partners, we strive to operate to the highest of standards whilst ensuring an excellent work-life balance for our team.

About us

As a rapidly expanding and standalone small animal practice with an exceptional reputation, we are lucky to have a lovely spacious and welcoming clinic; which is fully equipped with 4 consulting rooms (including a bereavement room), and separate cat, dog and isolation wards.

We are an ISFM cat friendly (Silver) practice and are proud to be able to offer fantastic facilities including digital radiography, dental radiography, ultrasound and K-Laser, and support a wide and varied caseload. Alongside our knowledgeable and compassionate nurses, we possess a wealth of experience within our veterinary team, including two certificate holders; and actively encourage certificates amongst our team as part of CPD and progression.

Visiting specialists (orthopaedic, cardiology, ophthalmology), in addition to a regular visiting mobile CT scanner provide additional in-house learning opportunities and support, contributing to job satisfaction and career development.

About you and the role

We are lucky to have a fantastic client base and varied caseload, and a reputation that is testament to the fantastic work of our united and motivating team. We’re therefore looking for an outgoing and articulate individual who already has some experience in clinical practice; and who can demonstrate a strong level of communication and organisational skills, being able to manage everyday surgical and medical procedures alongside client care.

The position offered is part time, for a vet with some experience; but full time hours would also be considered for a more recent graduate. The rota includes 1 in 4 Saturday mornings and no OOH.

The benefits

In addition to a rewarding role within an experienced and friendly team you can also expect to receive:

  • Competitive salary from £45,000 to £60,000 depending on experience
  • Flexible rota
  • No OOH
  • Paid holiday of 28 days, rising to 33 days after 2 years of service
  • Paid professional memberships
  • Dedicated CPD allowance and time off, including funding towards certificates
  • Life assurance 4 x annual salary
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Colleague reward hub – exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street, including 20% off at Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room

And there’s more!

Based near Stonehenge in beautiful Wiltshire, we have easy access to the A303 and South-West including Salisbury and surrounding areas; and the team enjoy regular social events outside of work.
