Veterinary Surgeon with CertSAM

Veterinary Surgeon with CertSAM required at Shipley Vets, Shipley, West Yorkshire.

The Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon, with a medical bias, to take a lead position with our medical cases. Competence with ultrasound scanning is essential. Our caseload is varied, and no two days are the same. We are big on preventative healthcare, high standards of care, great customer service and client continuity. We want to make sure that you have time to follow up on cases and spend more time with your patients, so we run 15-minute consultations. NB since lockdown while clients not coming in the building, we are running 20-minute consultations. We are looking for someone to take on the responsibilities of the medical referrals and develop the skills of our up-and-coming veterinary graduates.

• Working four-day week
• Some weekend work may be needed, this is negotiable
• No OOH
• Part time applications considered
