Job Details

We are looking for an experienced vet for 3 days per week and 1:4 Saturdays at our lovely multi-vet practice in Ewell, which has just undergone complete refurbishment.

Our Ewell branch has been established for over 60 years and in 2009 became part of the Goddard Veterinary Group. The team are extremely experienced, with the senior vet Anne having been with the practice 25 years. James, our second vet, started as a work experience student many years ago and after working in other practices settled back here! The support team consist of our head nurse Heather RVN and Michelle RVN both with over 20 years’ experience, Sam a qualified RVN who trained at Ewell, Jannine our lovely receptionist of 10 years and Hayley our SVN. The clients are equally loyal and lovely, happy to work up cases and follow our advice. We are very proud of our reputation, please have a look at our 5 star reviews on Google and Vet Help Direct to see why!

The role involves alternate Mondays and Wednesdays, to allow for a long weekend every other weekend, (there is some flexibility in this if the candidate would prefer a fixed day) and every Thursday and Friday. The hours are 8.30am -7pm but consults don’t start until 9am allowing a relaxed start to the day. Saturdays are 8.30am – 4pm and are on a 1:4 rota. There is no night work or on call. To provide a mix between branch and hospital work we would like you to join the Sunday rota for three Sundays a year and one bank holiday at our RCVS accredited tier 3 hospital in Wimbledon (The Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital).

The clinic benefits from separate dog and cat kennels, large walk-in kennels, in-house bloods, digital x-ray (and dental x-ray is coming at the end of the year). We also have ultrasound, a Tonopen and Sevoflurane for exotic work.

Our ideal candidate is someone with at least two years’ experience and will have a passion for all aspects of first opinion veterinary practice and will have a great track record of fostering strong relationships with their clients.

In return we can offer an excellent and competitive salary including a generous CPD allowance. The Goddard Veterinary Group sees CPD as an investment in the individual as well as for the practice and is keen to support study for certificate qualifications. We have an excellent benefit package including increasing holiday allowance (up to 6 weeks!), BUPA private health insurance as well as cash back / refunds on many routine medical costs such as dental care, physiotherapy, optician, chiropody fees etc, plus generous shopping and leisure discounts. Accommodation is available, close to the practice in a lovely three bedroomed flat in an affluent area of Epsom next to the race course, if needed.

Ewell is a lovely place to live and work, with a range of pubs, restaurants and shops. There are excellent transport connections into London Bridge and Waterloo but equally easy access to leafy Surrey countryside.

If you are interested in this rewarding role and working with a well-established independent family-run business and would like to know more please call Marion Chapman on 07572 178825
