Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon – Robert Jones Vets – Blackpool

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Vet, to join our supportive and friendly team, working closely with the Practice Director to help set and maintain high clinical standards in the practice. There is also the prospect of further career development within the role, moving up to Head Vet, if desired, as we aim to grow the practice over the next couple of years. This is an incredible opportunity and a great time to start with us!

This position would suit an experienced small animal vet, capable and confident of working sole charge, mentoring and supporting other Veterinary surgeons alongside a small clinical team, with surgical experience in routine procedures and who possesses good communication skills. You will have a team player mentality and a passion to deliver excellent care and client service.

Ideally, this is a full time role of 40 hours per week - currently worked over a four & a half day week and includes 1:2 Saturday mornings, with no OOH or on-call, but we can consider part time hours for the right candidate. We are a busy practice, with a varied small animal caseload, which would suit someone with an interest in medicine and who possesses good/confident surgical skills.

Your own further development will be encouraged ensuring this is a fantastic career opportunity. 

 

In return, we will offer you the following generous package:

Small Animal Vet / Veterinary Surgeon / Vet / Head Vet / Full Time / Part Time

Company

CVS (UK) Limited was established in August 1999 to acquire and operate veterinary practices which were well established within their local community and had a reputation for high quality service.  It was recognised that the value of these businesses lay in the quality of their staff and the relationship they enjoyed with their existing clients. To build on this CVS provides professional management expertise in the areas of finance, personnel, practice management, Health & Safety etc,  thereby relieving the local staff of many administrative tasks, to enable them to concentrate on clinical care.

As the number of acquisitions increases,  so does the diversity of operational styles and approaches.  These are shared on a regular basis at meetings of all the clinical directors, giving each practice an opportunity to consider alternative approaches to common problems. New initiatives are considered by this group and then fed back to each of their businesses.

Since 2001 CVS has diversified by acquiring two businesses that offer veterinary histopathology and cytology, plus more general veterinary laboratory services. This provides a wealth of experience to the practice division and the profession in general.

A more recent development has been the focus in acquiring practices in close proximity to each other.  This enables the group to benefit from certain synergies, and provides an opportunity for internal referrals.  Through its support for quality CPD many of the company’s veterinary surgeons have acquired skills of value to their colleagues elsewhere in the group. CVS already employs veterinary Specialists who offer invaluable advice to their colleagues.

Other benefits have also emerged as the company has grown. The use of single suppliers for certain types of product has enabled CVS to get more competitive prices and better support from the manufacturers.  Care is taken not to compromise clinical judgment through its selection of products, and this is achieved by having a working party drawn from the Clinical Director team that considers all options and seeks agreement from their colleagues before arriving at a decision.

Further acquisitions are always being considered but care is taken to ensure that each one is compatible with the CVS culture. The key attributes are their location, their current standing in the local community, their overall performance and the willingness of the existing practice team to embrace the CVS approach to business.
