Ashfield Veterinary Surgery

Ashfield Veterinary Surgery are looking for a small animal vet, with a minimum of 2 years post graduate experience, to join our growing team in the picturesque Derwent Valley on a full or part-time basis. Salary up to £50k pro rata dependent on experience.

We are 6 miles from historic Durham City and 20 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne and only minutes away from stunning countryside.

We have recently moved into a brand-new site, so this is a very exciting time to join us! Our brand-new practice has 3 consult rooms, 1 nurse/cat consult room, separate cat and dog waiting areas, in house pharmacy and state of the art prep room and theatre. See concept drawing below.

We are looking for a full-time veterinary surgeon with good all round GP experience and confident with routine surgeries, who is able to work sole charge. You will be joining a small and friendly team, who are passionate about animal care.

This is a full-time role working a 4-day week (8.30am to 6.30pm) and 1 in 3 Saturdays (9am-12pm) - there are no on-call duties, giving you a great work-life balance. We can also consider part-time hours for the right candidate, if preferred.

We know that benefits are key, and that your personal benefits priorities will differ from others. Holidays, pensions, discounts, paternal leave, fee payments or share save schemes might be your priority. Flexible working is essential for others, and we are very open to finding a creative working pattern that suits. For clinical staff, CPD is probably critical. Just so you know we offer a wide range of amazing CPD – you'll have access to Knowledge Hub, the best online veterinary learning resource within the industry - and we also offer an allowance to spend on external courses too. If you'd like to learn more, do feel free to contact the recruiter managing this campaign and ask them to talk you through our offerings. Or, if easier, you can find a list at on our careers site CVS Employee Benefits- what we can offer you. (cvsukltd.co.uk)
