Do you want to enjoy being a great GP vet, in a practice where you can stroll down to the beach during your lunch break (which they insist you take), with no out-of-hours work?

You would take sole charge of the village vet clinic, and continue maintaining its great reputation for customer service and kind veterinary care, with a nice balance of consultations and a small number of operations every day.

Ideally looking for a vet with 2-3 years experience to join our existing team. They can accommodate a colleague who needs either full-time or part-time hours. Everyone in the team does at least one evening clinic per week (but only until 6:30pm) and just 1:3 Saturday mornings (until 12.30pm).

There are no out-of-hours as this will be outsourced to another clinic 20 minutes away. If they run late, which is unusual, any overtime is paid - you are not expected to work overtime for free. You will be encouraged to develop and maintain a good work-life balance, and overtime is not the norm here.

In return they are offering:

A full time salary of £51,000 to £68,000, before overtime and bonuses, depending on your level of experience and any further qualifications. Pro-rate for part-time.
Five weeks` holiday plus bank holidays.
A £2,000 annual CPD allowance for full-time vets and pro-rata for part-time vets, with study towards an appropriate certificate supported and funded, if that`s where your heart lies.
Professional fees paid for.

This is a GP position to be based on the coast, for first opinion work for cats, dogs and small furries, so we need someone interested in excellent communication whilst consulting, and confidence with all routine and non routine surgical and dental procedures.

They have one consulting room in the branch, with its operating theatre and small hospital.

They have digital radiography, including digital dental radiography, an ultrasound scanner, in house laboratory, including Vetscan Imagyst and microscopy, operating lights, dental drill, height adjustable tables, oxygen generators and air conditioning.

Your day off would be Thursday. With you, there are two other part-time vets, 2 RVNs, and a team of receptionists.

We opened the main site in 1996 (we celebrated our 30th anniversary this month!) and has built into a multi award-winning, RCVS-accredited practice, with a reputation for being a great place to work, thanks to their owners commitment to caring for her team as well as her patients.

Many of the team members are extremely long-standing. They encourage everyone to be the best they can be, and to follow their own dreams and goals, while enjoying the autonomy to make the best decision for each patient without the need to worry about targets.
