Job Details

Fantastic opportunity to join a growing client in the Manchester area.

This RCVS accredited Tier 2 small animal practice and are looking to expand their 10 Vet (FTE) team.

The Veterinary team have a wide range of interests - currently they have 4 Certificate holders amongst the team and another 3 vets undertaking certificate study towards surgery, ECC and imaging. In addition they have a visiting orthopaedic surgeon twice monthly.

The team are based across 4 sites and have access to all the usual toys, including a digital X-ray, Dental X-ray, Ultrasound and Endoscopy.

The successful candidate will work a 40 hour / 4 day week with 1:8 weekends (Sat 9-5pm and Sun 9-3pm) plus 2:8 Saturdays (9-1pm). (The weekend rota will decrease to 1:10 full weekends and 2:10 Saturday mornings once fully staffed).    

The team can offer support and clinical freedom together with a varied caseload of medical and surgical cases but you must have a minimum of 12 months UK experience working in a first opinion role as the team are already supporting 2 new graduates.  An interest in surgery would be beneficial but not essential.

As well as a competitive salary the team can also offer 5 days paid CPD - budget £1500 per annum which is actively encouraged and funded, along with Certificates. 

Salary is dependent upon experience plus 25 days holidays plus bank holidays, (rising to 30 days holiday plus bank holidays = dependent on length on service) , pension contributions and health shield cover (after 3 months of service). Additionally RCVS and VDS fees are paid.
