Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon - East Midlands

Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to work sub 40 hour week no OOH work. Very well equipped practices with RVNs to assist and help.

The Practice
The practice originally began life over 40 years ago in Melton Mowbray. Craig Johnston bought the practice from Mr & Mrs Moravec in 1995 and it has slowly grown over that time. We opened the Grantham practice about 16 years ago and moved into larger premises about 6 years ago. The practice has always been forward thinking and both sites are independent of each other both being able to provide the highest standards of small animal veterinary care. We are constantly upgrading our systems and equipment so that we have access to the best diagnostics in the area. We are supported by experienced qualified veterinary nurses who look after us at all times and run their own clinics for the patients alongside the veterinary surgeons.

Grantham and Melton Mowbray are within easy access of Nottingham, Leicester, Birmingham by road and Central London from Grantham is just 1 hour away.

The Role
We are able to offer the right candidate a sub 40 hour week with no OOH as we use Vets Now. We would like to share the consulting and operating equally throughout the practice, but if you have a preference or a passion then we would like you to develop these skills further. We have a wide client base with a wide variety of species and sizes of small animals. We often have time to give to our patients and owners, so our appointments can be 10-30mins depending on what needs to be done at the time. Our nurses are fantastic and very keen to use their RVN to the maximum so we often use them for blood sampling, IVs, radiography, as well as them being able to run a variety of nurses clinics etc etc. Each practice is equipped with their own haematology and biochemistry analysers, microscopy, Agfa digital xray systems, ultrasound units to include colour flow and 3D, ECG, blood pressure units, dental units with dental xray. We also share the use of colour video endoscopy, cryosurgery and electrosurgery, and a tonopen. So if you would like access to all of the above or would love to learn how to use them please apply.
