The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team here at Parkvets, Sidcup!

You will be a capable and confident GP Veterinary Surgeon to supplement our fantastic team of hospital clinicians.

Our vets work a 40-hour week across 4 days, inclusive of 1:4 weekends and they provide second on call cover for occasional nights. They are supported by a large team of qualified and student nurses, as well as Clinical Support Services personnel.

About Us

If you want to work in a dynamic environment in which no two days are the same, Parkvets could be the ideal place for you. Our vets thrive on the diverse caseload and welcome the fact that we refer very few cases. They particularly value the support colleagues provide, but also prefer to manage their own cases, in the way they see fit. We look forward to welcoming a new, like-minded vet to the team.

With our separate cat, dog and exotics wards, each encompassing their own operating theatres, as well as dedicated dental suites, ultrasound facilities, endoscopy and of course x-ray, Parkvets has all the toys, bells and whistles you would expect. We also have an extensive lab, staffed by bio-medical professionals experienced in supporting the vet team. You may not have been expecting that!

You will have a medical bias but not be afraid of surgery, and you will be particularly interested in diagnostic imaging and medical workups.

Remaining calm in the face of emergencies and articulate in the face of complex cases, will be important skills, along with the ability to work in harmony with a large team.

About the Team and Culture

We are a friendly and established team of 28+ Veterinary Surgeons, 28+ Veterinary Nurses, 50+ Support & Admin Staff. Various certificate holders and an exotic specialist for you to pick the brains of or to support you in a certification. You will have plenty of opportunity to develop skills and knowledge – both formally through CPD and informally through case collaboration. We have an encouraging ethos embedded here at Parkvets. We work to allow for all of our staff to reach their full potential with us and will ensure people feel safe and supported whilst at work.

Applicant Requirements

We are seeking an individual who has worked in a fast pace multi-site practice previously. You will need to be an active team player and like-minded in encouraging the team and provided the highest standard of care. We expect you to have excellent bedside manner and be a strong communicator.

Benefits - Subject to Pro Rata:

  • Enhanced holiday entitlement and increasing holiday based on length of service
