Description: 

Are you looking for a Veterinary Surgeon role in an established practice that could support your development? 
NEWTOWNARDS

Come and join our friendly team!

Are you a vet who enjoys good clinical work, nice colleagues and the occasional bit of craic?

We’re looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our established first-opinion GP practice in Newtownards.

We’re currently a team of 2 full-time vets and 1 part-time vet, supported by 4 RVNs and 3 client care team members, including our team manager.

We’re proud of the care we provide, but we also believe that work should be somewhere you enjoy coming to. We’re a friendly bunch who look out for each other, have a laugh when we can and genuinely care about our patients, clients and colleagues.

So, who are we looking for?

Honestly, we're much more interested in who you are as a person than whether your CV ticks every single box.

You’ll be someone who:

  • Is a confident and capable GP vet who enjoys a varied caseload.
  • Cares about doing a good job and providing great patient care.
  • Is kind, approachable and good with people.
  • Can get on with things independently but is happy to lend a hand when someone else needs it.
  • Is reliable and hardworking, but understands that sometimes life happens.
  • Can have a laugh and doesn't take themselves too seriously.
  • We’re happy to support the right person and help you develop in the areas that interest you.

The role:

We are ideally looking for a full-time vet working 35 hours per week, but we’re also very open to two part-time positions if that works better for the right people and for the practice.

  • 35 hours per week, with one weekday off
  • Part-time hours also considered
  • 1 in 3 Saturday mornings
  • No OOH or Sunday working
  • CPD allowance, including support towards certificates (training agreement required)
  • Competitive salary, dependent on experience
  • Private health insurance (opt-in required)
  • Professional memberships paid
  • Company discounts and rewards

If you’re a GP vet looking for a friendly practice where you can do good work, be supported, have a laugh and still get home at a reasonable hour, we’d love to hear from you.
