Job Details

Are you looking for a stimulating role which will enable you to have an excellent work life balance? We may have the role for you!

Our clinics are situated in the beautiful Berkshire countryside with the Thames close by and with the convenience of access to Reading and Twyford rail stations for fast trains into London and Heathrow. We are looking for a dynamic and motivated experienced veterinary surgeon to join our current team of 5 vets and 9 nursing and clinical support staff across our two clinics. You will be based at our Beechwood Veterinary Centre in Woodley, Reading, with support of our fully functioning branch practice in the lovely village of Twyford, less than 4 miles away.

As a team we are dedicated to providing Gold standard care to our clients and patients. We are forward thinking, and have great facilities which allow our clinicians to offer an extensive range of both medical and surgical services on site. You will have the support of the AVC group including advanced certificate holders in surgery, medicine, ophthalmology and feline medicine. Both our practices are Silver Members of the ISFM Feline Friendly Practice scheme, and are passionate about providing tailored care to our feline patients.

We work a 4 day week, and a 1 in 4 Saturday morning rota. We support our OOH service by providing back up cover as the second vet 1 in 12 weeks and Saturday afternoons, meaning minimal OOH work. We are open to part time/job share applications. 

We will also offer you-

  • A very attractive salary commensurate on experience
  • A generous CPD package including support and funding for certificates
  • A generous bonus scheme
  • Pet and retail discounts, subsidised gym membership, cycle to work incentives.

Company

Established in the local community for over 15 years, Beechwood Veterinary Centre is proud to serve Woodley and the surrounding area with excellent veterinary services and care by our passionate and dedicated team of experienced veterinary surgeons and nurses.

We have a fully equipped operating theatre for routine and more 
complicated surgeries. Patients are admitted between 8am and 
8.30am on the morning of their procedure and most go home later the same day. 

Throughout their procedures and during recovery, animals are 
constantly monitored by veterinary nurses. Sometimes it is necessary 
that animals stay in overnight for further monitoring and pain relief. We are also able to accomplish some more advanced orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries on site, but for those that we cannot undertake, we are often able to offer the service of our Summerleaze Veterinary Hospital in Maidenhead, which also undertakes laproscopic surgery (key-hole camera surgery).

Active Vetcare Group is a group of vet practices focused on providing excellent care for your animals. All of our staff are highly trained and receive ongoing training.

With 10 sites in the Thames Valley area you are sure to find a surgery near you. Select the 'Practices' option, from the top menu, to find the nearest one to you.

We provide a 24 hour 7 days a week service either via our own qualified staff, or through our emergency Out Of Hours service providers.

You'll be pleased to know that all our practices are well maintained and looked after and two of our practices have been awarded hospital status by the RCVS.

We regularly monitor our prices to ensure that we offer you affordable healthcare for your pet. When you visit us you will always be provided with an estimate first and we outline treatment options. We always recommend that you insure your pet and if you click on the link for Petplan our partner you can find out more information.

In effect we strive to offer you an excellent service, using highly trained, caring staff, in state of the art surroundings. We even have our own in-house referral service now to operate on highly complex procedures.

You can visit our free advice section (from the top menu) to find out how to look after your pet and we also provide free nurse clinics to support this. Just click on the 'Services' menu option, for more information.

Active Vetcare Ltd was aquired by CVS (UK) Limited in January 2007 and now operates as part of this larger group of veterinary practices and veterinary service providers.
