Veterinary Surgeon (Maternity Cover) required at Bray House Vets, Melton Mowbray

The Role

One of our lovely vets is heading off on maternity leave this Spring and we are looking for somebody to work with us for a year as cover. Depending on how everything works out we may be looking for somebody to stay on longer if they are keen! 

We are a two-branch practice based in Melton Mowbray and Grantham, our OOH is covered by Vets Now and the vets cover Saturdays on a 1 in 5 rota (time given off in lieu the following week). Ideally, we would like somebody full time but happy to consider part time hours. Our full timers work 40 hours/week either on a 4-day structure or spaced over the 5 days if preferred. We are looking for someone who is happy with some sole charge work – but even in that circumstance there is always someone at the end of the phone to help out. We have a great 'family' like team who always pull together.

We have the usual first opinion kit and strong local support from other IVC practices in the area for anything we need to refer on. We have a mixture of qualified and student nurses as well as ANA and reception teams, all of whom are friendly, hardworking and keep the place going no matter what! Overall we are a relaxed and happy team looking for someone who enjoys the challenges of general practice in an area with a range of clients and budgets. 

There are several ‘perks’ associated with working for IVC including a generous CPD budget (time and money wise!), pension, generous holiday, RCVS & VDS paid for, healthcare cover, a range of benefits for your own pets, ongoing support from the team, and more
 
Salary for the role is up to £63,000 depending on experience. 

About Us

Our practices both have the standard general practice set up with digital xray, ultrasound, good theatre, separate dental suite, separate dog and cat wards, array of lab equipment, the option of referring to other IVC practice in the area for specialist diagnosis, external orthopaedic surgeon who visits, visiting EMS students and nursing students.

Both practices are located near the centre of Grantham and Melton Mowbray for convenience to our clients. Melton Mowbray is a delightful market town with plenty to visit including their weekly market.

About the Team and Culture

We have currently 5 vet surgeons, 6 RVN's, 2 ANA's, 2 Receptionists and a Practice Manager.

We currently have 1 vet and 1 nurse completing certificated courses. We are currently using specialist from the other local IVC practices to help with the diagnosis of cases.

We would like our candidate to fit right into the team, bringing their skills and enthusiasm to our clients to provide an excellent general practice standard

Applicant Requirements
