Veterinary Surgeon - ample opportunity for surgery as well as consulting

Veterinary Surgeon required at Moy Vets, Hambleton

 The Role

Our close-knit team is looking for an experienced veterinary surgeon to join our growing practice, with shifts across both our locations, which are located 10 minutes from each other. 

We have a high volume, varied caseload with ample opportunity for surgery as well as consulting. We all provide support for each other in the areas we are most experienced in and have a very collaborative approach to work.

We cover our own OOH (from home) to provide our clients with continuity of care and high standard service, supported by a nurse. Out of hours are paid on top of the salary, and we offer a birthday day off! 

Our standard 20-minute consults allow for good client communication and proper work up. The day off per week can be a rotating or a set day off depending on preference.
 
Salary for the role is up to £62,000 depending on experience (pro rata) + relocation allowance up to £2,500 available if required. 

About Us

Moy Vets is a well-established, long-standing practice with two branches near Blackpool in the West Lancashire region, with close access to beaches, wonderful countryside and as a bonus we are only an hour's drive to the Lakes District too! We are open 7 days a week across our two main branches.

Both our locations have digital radiography, Idexx laboratory equipment, dental equipment, including dental x-ray at Hambleton, an endoscope, ultrasound and a K-laser.

About the Team and Culture

Our team consists of eight (multinational) vets, seven RVN's, a student nurse, two nursing assistants and fifteen reception and admin staff who keep everything running in the back- and foreground.
We get regular visits from a local cardiologist, and sometimes have a visiting surgical or orthopaedic specialist join us for cases.

We pride ourselves on continuously improving, hence we encourage CPD and we will support you if you're wanting to pursue certificates or memberships, with one of our vets currently finishing a medicine certificate. 

We hold weekly meetings with a 4-week rotating theme, consisting of Whole team meeting, Individual team meeting, Continuing improvement and Significant events meeting and a Training meeting. This protected time allows us all to stay in touch, learn together and from each other and gives us all insight and input in the direction our clinic is taking.

We support local charities and engage in local charity events, and encourage our team members to do so too!

Applicant Requirements 

Experience is required for this role, and empathy and excellent communication skills are essential. 

Interest in orthopaedics, dermatology or ophthalmology would be desirable but is definitely not essential, we have the caseload to support these areas if you wish to pursue certificates or memberships in these areas. We provide a supportive environment for all our team members and are looking for someone as passionate as we are, to join our team.
