Description

We have a fantastic opportunity available across our Bury Road branch for a Senior Vet, with a minimum of 3 years' experience and ideally
someone who would be keen to work towards, or has completed, a certificate and potentially train in laparoscopic surgery. We are looking for a Vet with a passion to lead and manage a team, be a great motivator and enjoy getting the best out of people.

If you are looking to take the next step in your career and lead a team and would like access to an interesting caseload, then this is the role for you

How will your role look?
Your working hours would be a 4-day week to allow you to have a day to yourself each week.

Our working hours are 8.30am - 6.30pm or 8am - 6pm and we all have a mix of consults, inpatient care and surgery.

Our weekends are 1 in 4 working 8.30am-5.30pm on Saturday and no Sundays.

Flexibility in working pattern and hours can be considered, so please let us know what works for you and we'll do our best to accommodate this.

About us:

We are a high-end first opinion practice and would look for someone who would be keen to work cases up thoroughly, create their own bonded client base and communicate clearly with our clients.

If you want to work in a "jab and go" manner, we would not be the right practice for you.

We do expect our team to be able to justify their clinical decision making/frameworks through evidence based medicine whilst maintain a pragmatic approach to cases where there may be financial sensitivity.

We have regular quality improvement meetings within the practice to encourage case discussions.

We have, in the last year alone, submitted two pieces of work to the RCVS QI awards scheme, one on informed client consent and one on improving clinical outcomes in patients presenting with 'sore eyes'.

Our practice leadership team all proactively seek to have open and honest discussions with all the team and in the last year have focussed on ensuring all staff members get regular scheduled 1-2-1 discussions to ensure opportunities to discuss how our team are all doing.

The culture within this group has been developed to ensure all the team feel they can have their say and feel listened to.

We don't always get everything right, but we are also very happy to own our mistakes and learn from them and this is mirrored in the 'no blame' culture across the whole team, which we think is key to ensuring the progression of our team.

We will always have your back.

We know our chosen profession can place a lot of stress on our hugely compassionate team.

We look to proactively support our team's emotional wellbeing, so alongside the excellent employee assistance support scheme programme you will have access to, there are onsite mental health first aiders who are trained in supporting people who may have mental health struggles.

To us, open and honest discussions about any such matter help us support our team as best we possibly can.

We have all the normal equipment, additionally we offer laparoscopic surgery, an operating microscope, and advanced orthopaedic and ophthalmology equipment.

If any of our team want us to consider adding to our facilities we would help guide you in your research with this and should this be viable would actively support installation of new facilities with training and marketing.

CPD wise, if there's a course you want to do we would ask you to come and bring us the information and we will always consider anything that helps develop our team and the clinical services we can offer to our clients.

Competitive salary - this is determined alongside a salary-banding scheme, which is available at all times for you to see, so you have complete visibility. Salary band for this role is £50,000 - £65,000 per annum, depending on experience. Onwards from this, there is an annual salary review, which will be based on your performance within our team.

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.
