Vacancy for Experienced Veterinary Surgeon with Cardiology Bias

Due to a colleague moving into referral practice, an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our well established practice in South Yorkshire.  The ideal candidate will have a passion for providing high level care, and be happy working in both large and small teams. 

We have a consistent caseload of cardiology cases, averaging around 10 echos/week.  We have recently extended our cardiology suite which is complete with brand new Vivid IQ scanner (with additional 3Sc-RS and 12S-RS probes), as well as digital x-ray, ECG and Doppler BP.  To facilitate work-up of more complex cases, endoscopy, CT and hospitalisation facilities are available at our 24-hour, certificate holder led hospital 3 miles away.  An existing certificate holder would be ideal but we would also consider somebody part-way through a certificate with the right practical skill-set as support is available.

Currently our cardiologist works a 4 day week, with a ratio of approximately 80% cardiology referrals to 20% first opinion work, however we are looking to continue growing the cardiology service.  For this reason candidates looking for both full-time (4 or 5 day week) and part-time roles would be considered, with FT salary up to £75k, dependant on experience.

Weekend daytime work is undertaken on a rota basis.  Package includes RCVS and VDS cover, pension, SAYE scheme and Perkbox and much more.

For more information about us see www.springfieldvetgroup.co.uk  For an informal chat or to apply, please send a CV and covering letter to Shula Berg, Senior Veterinary Surgeon, at shula.berg@cvsvets.com

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.
