Veterinary Surgeon - Birmingham, United Kingdom - White Cross Vets, Tividale
Description
Veterinary Surgeon
White Cross Vets, Tividale
Up to £64,500 FTE depending on experience, up to £3,000 relocation support, plus benefits
The Role
About Us
We opened in 2013 and are a small animal only practice. We are equipped with a great quality ultrasound machine, multi-parameter monitoring and digital x-ray (including dental). We have achieved our silver cat-friendly status. The prep area is the heart of the building with separate dog and cat wards, an operating theatre and x-ray/ultrasound room branching off. There are 3 consulting rooms with access to dispensary and our lab area is complete with the full IDEXX Blood and Urinary machine range and microscope. We have a separate team room with comfy sofas so you can relax on your breaks.
To be successful in this role, you must be happy with most aspects of general practice – both consulting and surgery. You must also be confident with sole charge working as although this is kept to a minimum as much as possible, it will be required. In this role you will be required to provide high-quality clinical care to all pets whilst ensuring an outstanding client experience and to help to create and maintain an efficient clinic. The diary is sensibly managed meaning we leave on time with consults finishing half an hour before the end of shift, and there is time factored into the day for case work ups and phone calls.
White Cross Vets is a family. Generally, our people don't leave us The wellbeing of our teams is very important. We make time during working hours each month for our team to spend time with one another in wellbeing sessions. Recent sessions at Tividale included playing games, making bath bombs, watching Cool Runnings and up-cycling glass jars by painting them to make tea light holders . We like to celebrate personal wins and reward our people. Your colleague may have had a really tough week so we may suggest a wellbeing day, another may have gone above and beyond, so we send them a treat. Every team member also has 5 nominations called 'Lolas' per month to give recognition to colleagues. These add up over the year and rewards are given accordingly.
