It’s going to be a tall order finding someone to even half fill the lovely Parisha’s shoes but the call of warmer, exotic climes and her passion for conservation work has proven too much and after completing our grad programme she is after a new challenge!

We are looking for a collaborative, client focused, compassionate and easy-going GP vet to slot into and enhance our existing team upholding our ethos of providing friendly, tailored and affordable treatment to every patient. We are passionate about case continuity and clinical freedom, with no set protocols to follow or targets to hit. Our team is incredibly supportive and has a proven track record of getting new grads off to a flying start in their career. Equally, we see plenty of weird and wacky cases to keep even the most experienced vet on their toes!

Of course, we look after our clients and patients but above that, we really look after our colleagues! Our colleague turnover rate is one of the lowest in the group and our colleague satisfaction scores are consistently one of the highest. Our team is fun, inclusive, helps each other out and our JVP absolutely has our back if and when things occasionally go wrong. Six team members have been here over 13 years – check out the team profiles on our website!

Salary package:

• Sustainable and flexible rota promoting a healthy work-life balance
• Birthday leave, 5.6 weeks annual leave incl bank holidays as standard rising to 6.6 weeks incl bank holidays after 2 years’ service.
• Cash bonus every 5 years, extra weeks holiday pro rata at 10 year
• Generous company pension, 25% off staff discount in practice, 20% off at Pets at Home plus a range of other high street discount schemes, private healthcare via salary sacrifice also available
• Paid CPD leave and a minimum annual budget of £2500. Funding up to certificate level
• Access to GDP mentors, certificate holders and MHFA in house

Further details:

• 20 years old, established practice, fully refurbished in Dec 2024, excellent local reputation
• Locally owned and managed, dedicated management team, career progression fully supported
• Warm atmosphere with a laid-back family run feel, no clinical/non-clinical team divide
• Scheduled meetings and appraisals, zero blame culture, regular colleague recognition and treats!
• Busy (but not hectic) caseload including small furries, charity and wildlife
• Clinics and theatre duties equally divided, most consults 20 minutes as standard, 30 mins for end of life, protected breaks and admin time, catch up/emergency slots built into diary
• MUIS ultrasound, PLH digital and dental x-ray, capnography, cryotherapy, ECG, blood pressure monitoring, full in-house lab and double theatre

We are an equal opportunities employer.
