Wigan Vets for Pets – Veterinary Surgeon

Do you love animals and care deeply about keeping them happy and healthy? Are you looking to join a supportive, skilled & knowledgeable team who prioritise patient care? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you at our Wigan Vets for Pets practice!

We are looking for that special someone to join our team. We are looking for a veterinary surgeon to complement our fantastic team of 5 vets, 8 RVNs, 5 receptionists and 3 VCAs. There is no fixed rota or set hours that we are looking to cover, we are flexible and open to discussion on what you would like your working week to look like but we would love someone to join in our Saturday rota which is 1 in 5 Saturdays 9am until 3pm alongside the weekly hours.

We are a busy practice with an interesting caseload and we are looking for a real team player who prioritises patient care and who aims to provide gold standard for their patients and clients. One of our clinicians has their certificate in surgery, so we are looking for a consult focused vet. We run 20-30 minutes consults in practice alongside nurse led consults and have admin time for our colleagues built into our diary each day, to ensure that everyone leaves on time for a great work/life balance.

Alongside our talented vets we have an amazing team of nurses who are highly skilled and highly motivated, and especially focussed on gold standard patient care, evidenced based medicine and auditing practices and protocols. Our nursing team boast 3 advanced diploma nurses, a Nursing Cert holder in Anaesthesia, an ECC and a ISFM Feline Nurse. 

We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon who has experience in practice, can communicate well, excels within the consulting room and also enjoys working with the team to create new ideas.  In practice we have the caseload to support personal and clinical development and we are open to you exploring your own caseloads in practice, assisted by the generous CPD allowance we provide. 

In addition to the CPD allowance, we also offer a competitive salary which is based on your level of experience that you can bring to the team, a contributory pension scheme, all professional memberships paid, and access to our exclusive reward hub which provides discounts for high street retailers, as well as companywide discounts.
