Description
Perth Veterinary SurgeonDue to a valued member of our Vet team leaving for their dream job, we are looking for a passionate and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Vets4Pets Perth, on a full-time or part time permanent basis.
We have a wonderful, friendly, longstanding team at Vets4Pets Perth and warmly welcome any new members to our veterinary family.
As a team, we all support each other, and endeavour to create a happy, constructive and supportive working environment focusing on the importance of a good work life balance and mental health support.
The team are all passionate, dedicated veterinary professionals who pride themselves on offering high standards of care while identifying areas to further improve.
Currently, we are working towards becoming an RCVS accredited, ISFM cat friendly and RWAF rabbit friendly practice.Our team consists of two vets with over thirty-four years' experience between them, who are happy to mentor and pass on their knowledge in a supportive and constructive way.
You will also be supported by an experienced Head RVN/Joint Venture Partner, one FT RVN, one PT Veterinary Care Assistant, two Client Care Advisors and a supportive Practice Manager.
We are also currently recruiting for another RVN to join our team.In addition, we have a great relationship with our Area Relationship Manager (ARM) who is always on hand for extra support and advice.
As a JVP led practice we have the clinical freedom to work in a way that is best for us and our team.
We hold regular team meetings and 1:1s to make sure all team members get the chance to impact 'how we do things,' and to give the opportunity to focus on development, both individual and how we move forward as a practice.
Following a fire in 2019, we re-built our new practice in March 2021 and are based on St Catherine's Retail Park in the centre of Perth.
Perth is a lovely city, surrounded by fantastic scenery and steeped in rich history, with easy access to buses, train stations and motorway.
Located half an hour from Dundee, just over an hour from Edinburgh and little over two hours from the Cairngorms, it is the perfect location for exploring Scotland on your days off.
Our great location and wonderful loyal client base also means we benefit from a good variety of cases, including some interesting exotics (including Meerkats & Coatimundi's).
We offer full or part time hours and are happy to discuss a rota that is flexible to your commitments, whether that be weekend only, childcare friendly, full or half days or whatever you require to achieve the work life balance you need.
We are open 8:30am to 7pm weekdays, 9am to 5pm Saturdays and 10am to 4pm Sundays with a current 1 in 2 weekend rota- extending to 1 in 3.
There are no OOH, with Vets Now Dundee, covering all our OOH emergencies.Your workload will be 100% small animal and some exotics and will include a range of first opinion consultations, medical work-ups and surgery.
Standard 15-30 minute appointments are made for all small animal medical cases.Our team work together to ensure everyone gets their lunch break and we plan dedicated periods for admin tasks such as case follow ups and lab reports.
Ideally you will have two or more years practice experience with a strong interest in first opinion general practice and surgery.
We would however consider a new graduate, in which case you will receive structured mentoring.By joining us you will be part of a dynamic team, whose main clinical focus is on preventive health, and we pride ourselves on our excellent client care and pet welfare standards.
It is essential that you have the same values and high standards as our current team.This position would be ideal for vet who thrives on being part of a supportive team, building rapport with our loyal client base and providing a high level of clinical care for our patients.
We offer a supportive and friendly working environment with excellent career development opportunities and benefits package.If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please get in touch as we would love to meet you to have an informal chat about the role, meet the team and visit the practice.
