Veterinary Surgeon
Handforth, ENG, SK9 3RN
Do you want to join a growing practice that you can really help shape and take to even greater heights paying up to £65,000 (FTE, DOE)
- We are a practice that truly support and helps develop its team and we are looking for an experienced vet to join us!
- You will be supported by an exceptional clinical team Alison our Practice Manager and RVN, our HRVN and a further 3 RVNs and 3 CCAs receptionists ensuring that you have everything you need to provide top quality care to the local community and their pets!
- This will be the perfect role for someone that is a good all rounder but looking for that development
- Ideally, we are looking 40 hours per week, but we know this does not suit everyone so we are happy to look at what will support your lifestyle
- To promote that work life balance, we share set days off amongst the vets but again there is flexibility here
- Saturdays are worked on a 1 in 4 basis with the practice only opening 9am to 1pm, with no Sundays or OOH
- This role will involve sole charge
- Our practice truly brings a family supportive feel to all our colleagues, clients and their lovely pets!
We are a genuinely friendly, inclusive, and supportive bunch who take pride in maintaining a warm, professional atmosphere. While established, the practice offers plenty of scope for someone to shape current practices, streamline workflows and drive clinical excellence, leading to improved patient outcomes.
We are a traditional small animal practice with fantastic potential to grow, but don’t be deceived we are still busy and have amazing loyal patients that offer a different reason to smile every day! We also like to support our colleague’s development, and this is shown with one of our vets recently completing their ultrasonography certificate.
