At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
We are an RCVS accredited small animal hospital and hold ISFM gold standard cat friendly status as well as the silver rabbit friendly award. The team are also currently working towards the dog friendly award.
We recently refurbished a number of areas within the practice, including our cat only dedicated side of the building. Why not come and have a look around?
We have:
*Purpose-built building - separate dog and cat waiting rooms, kennels, prep areas and separate theatres
*On-site CT Scanner
*Video endoscopy
*Digital x-ray
*Dedicated Dental suite with new dental x-ray machine
*Colour flow doppler ultrasound
*Separate exotics ward.
*Oxygen kennels
*Slit lamp bio-microscope, Tonometry and cryotherapy
*Dedicated 'farewell' rooms
*Large on-site carpark for staff and clients
*Lunch area and separate Staff mindfulness room – with a do-not-disturb policy
There is no sole charge as there are a minimum of 3 vets working each day, with at least 2 vets operating (2 separate theatres, plus separate dental and imaging suites). We have a large, experienced team who support each other sharing case knowledge and advice daily. We have 2 consult only vets so we would ideally be looking for a vet who also enjoys surgery. Flexible appointment length based on case requirements.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
The right person is most important so we will happily discuss full-time, part-time or flexible working hours. Full-time work is normally split over 4 long days or 5 shorter days. Shift patterns cover varying portions of our opening hours: 8-7pm. Plus Saturdays 8:30-1pm. There is no OOH/bank holidays– we are a VetsNow host practice so are lucky to be able to keep our inpatients on site, with dedicated care. This enables further skills sharing between the team.
