Veterinary Surgeon - Full Time Chatham Companion Care

Job Description 

We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to join our established team at Companion Care Chatham, as we are losing a great vet after eight years with us. 

We have just celebrated our 10^th birthday here at Chatham and have expanded from our original six (five of whom are still here!) to a team
of seventeen. The practice is small but (we think) perfectly formed, with separate cat and dog kennelling, open prep area, dedicated theatre, isolation and consulting rooms. We have most of the usual kit and are open to purchasing more. 

Our team currently consists of three full time vets, and two part time
vets presently, though we are looking to expand this. All of our vets
have a minimum of five years clinical experience, there are currently
two certificate holders (surgery and exotics) and a colleague studying presently. The vets are supported by an excellent team of qualified nurses and one student nurse, all ably marshalled by our lovely front
of house advisers!

We have worked hard to forge a strong reputation locally and have looked after each other during the last challenging eighteen months. To look after our colleagues, we are still operating with a number of COVID restrictions in place and review these regularly.

Like everyone, we have been busy recently, and would like to expand our team in order to continue to offer our clients the fantastic service we are known for.

The role is ideally full time (four day week, inclusion in weekend rota, no out of hours) but we are open to discussion about part time hours. The role can be very flexible, we are happy to have and support someone looking to progress their career with certification (medicine, imaging, ophthalmology, cardiology all desirable) or someone who wants to be
a consulting vet only (we know surgery isn’t for everyone) or someone happy to simply be a good GP. There is also the possibility of partnership/ownership for the right person if that is of interest.

We have learned lessons from COVID regarding our working hours and are putting in place a more ‘life friendly’ rota to hopefully keep all of our team smiling.
