Job Description
Veterinary Surgeon. From £38k – £70k Bessacarr, Doncaster.
It is no secret that being a vet is hard work. You’re a vet, you know.
You love being a vet it’s all you ever wanted to be, but you can’t care for patients every hour of every day, can you?
At this independent practice, they do not believe in working their vets ‘into the ground,’ that’s why they have scheduled breaks, 20-minute consults as standard and every vet leaves on time. They are keen for you to build relationships and give the best possible care you can to each patient.
That’s the beauty of being independent, they are not in the cross hairs of corporate life, there are no clinical targets for vets, and no one telling you what to do from afar, the job is tough enough without adding additional stress.
The phrase work-life balance is banded about a lot nowadays but very few practices can actually achieve this, but this one can. Hours are negotiable, you choose, part-time, full-time it's up to you. No OOH’s and 1 in 4 weekends only.
They will aim to fit the role around you whether you are a new grad or with ten years exp. But an emphatic team player is more important to them than experience. New grads please apply.
With an expanding practice and a strong loyal client base that’s growing weekly, you will be rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in right from the start.
This modern practice, air conditioned throughout is currently spread over three sites. You will be working as part of an experienced team of vets and nurses with an interesting caseload and shared goals.
They have an established client base with a good level of workup possible in many cases. Individual interests are encouraged and supported.
One of their vets has recently completed a medicine certificate and another is working towards a surgical certificate. You want to develop too, use the skills you have, and develop the ones you are less experienced in, you want to progress and with a comprehensive CPD allowance, they will help you here.
This practice has a real ‘family feel,’ about it where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time. Without the shackles of a large vet group, decisions can be made quickly and ideas are encouraged.
Enough about us, what’s in it for you?
Starting from £38k based on full-time hours - £70k. RCVS and VDS paid for, plus a yearly subscription to BSAVA or BVA. Generous staff discounts and access to Vetlexicon. 4 weeks holiday with a day off for your birthday.
Located in Doncaster you have everything on your doorstep you need. Plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops to choose from. You have ‘The Dome,’ a sport, music, and entertainment centre, Doncaster Racecourse, famous for the St Leger, The Yorkshire Wildlife Park, amazing countryside plus you have Leeds, York, and Sheffield all less than 40 mins away.
Want a weekend in London? A direct train will take you there in under 90 mins. What’s not to like?
So, what’s next?
Send your CV, don’t worry if it’s not up to date. We can’t get the whole story in a job ad so ask any questions. I’ll answer honestly, no hard sell.
Get your life back and enjoying being a vet at a practice that cares
