Veterinary Surgeon

Remuneration

£50,000 per year.

The Opportunity

Medivet Yeading is in the enviable position of being very recently refurbished to a lovely high standard. We boast two consult rooms, plus a separate nurse consult, a huge prep room (we often joke about hosting Pilates classes!) as well as a spacious waiting area, a designated imaging room, refurbished theatre with new ultrasound, dental and radiography machines and staff room; it really is a lovely space to work in!

Our out of hours service is provided by our emergency hospital in Richmond, which boasts a full CT suite and more! Medivet also offers outstanding career progression, including post-graduate study and branch partnership.

Our experienced team, consisting of a Head Nurse, patient and client care team are all passionate about delivering an excellent service to our clients and looking after one another.

We have a great relationship with close by Medivet practices and support is always available for those tricky cases (medical or surgical), so whilst it is a sole charge position there is still plenty of assistance if needed.

We have a high number of cats in the area and have a high caseload of feline neutering as we also currently participate in the London charity neutering schemes!

This is a great opportunity to lead and support a small team who work together to provide a high-quality level of service to our clients. Within this position you will have a varied caseload with interesting cases. You will have the opportunity to shape and grow our practice, whilst providing a vital and much appreciated service for local pets.

This is a Part time role working up to 30 hours per week alongside 1:6 weekends.
