Description: 

Are you looking to join a practice that truly values its people? A place where positivity, support and open communication thrive? At Corby Vets4Pets, they pride themselves on fostering a family-like atmosphere with a longstanding team that embodies loyalty and commitment. Here, management listens without judgement, offers guidance to help you achieve your goals, and supports you in reaching your full potential. With no room for toxicity, we’ve created a welcoming, collaborative environment where every team member is empowered to succeed and grow.

Nancy, the Practice Owner, celebrates an incredible 11 years with the practice this year and took on the exciting role of owner in July 2024. This is a thrilling time to join the team, as Nancy is not only growing the practice but also leading it through an upcoming relaunch and rebrand. With plans to extend in the future, the practice is entering a dynamic new chapter, making it the perfect opportunity to become part of its journey and contribute to its continued success. 

We are seeking an experienced, self-sufficient veterinary surgeon who is confident handling all routine consults, surgeries and basic emergency procedures and surgeries. Ideally, you will have 2/3 years post qualification experience and be comfortable working independently. Due to the level of autonomy required for this role, we are unable to offer the level of support needed for new graduates. 

We’re generous with our CPD offering, which colleagues are actively encouraged to use to further their interests and develop their skills in a direction of their choosing. So, if you want to pursue a post graduate qualification or certificate, we’re happy to help support and fund.

You will be joining an inclusive and supportive team who are passionate about being at the heart of the local community. The team consists of 2 Vets, 4 qualified RVNs including Practice Owner Nancy, SVN who is due to qualify, VCA and 4 Receptionists. Our practice provides excellent facilities giving you access to all the equipment and space you need to care for your patients. 

The practice is set in a town within the beautiful Northamptonshire County. Just a 5-minute drive and you’re in the rural countryside. We have lots of amazing country parks dotted throughout the town and area. Perfect for clearing your head, opening your lungs, and walking 4 legged friends too. We are a fast paced and busy surgery, however with our strong dedicated team there isn’t anything we haven't and cannot accomplish!

Ideally looking for full time hours, but happy to work with you to find a pattern that works for both of us. Currently the weekend rota is 1 in 3 Saturdays with limited cover to keep it fair for everyone. There will be an element of sole charge but no OOH’s responsibility. 

Nancy can also offer the following benefits;

  • Competitive salary £45,000 - £55,000 (dependent on experience)
  • Annual leave – 5.6 weeks, increasing with length of service
  • Extra day off for your birthday
  • Contributory Pension scheme
  • Private healthcare
  • Generous CPD and funding for certificates for the right candidate
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
  • Supportive and friendly team environment
  • Relocation packages from within or outside the UK considered.
  • Exclusive company discounts and rewards including High Street retailers and restaurants.
