Job Details

Minimum 2 years experienced Vet required. We can also accommodate a New Grad Vet.

If you are looking for an amazing learning environment, friendly, supportive team with flexible working options, you will get it all here at Westmount Vets! Absolutely amazing team of vets, nurses and support staff. Main hospital is based at Halifax with branch practices in Todmorden, Mytholmroyd, West Vale and Paddock.  Extremely commutable area, the M62 connects you to Huddersfield, Bradford, Peak District and an hour to Manchester! Also offering great public transport links. Close to Leeds Bradford International Airport and Manchester Airport.

We provide our own emergency cover here therefore our rota working from our main hospital in Halifax works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore as a vet, you will work with a varied and busy caseload including emergency cases.

You really do get the chance to be the Vet you trained to be at Westmount! Although working sole charge is a must, you will be supported by a qualified nurse and receptionist. Due to the sole charge nature of this post (when on OOH cover) we require a candidate to have at least 2 years' experience, ideally with having at least 6 months within a UK practice setting.

We have these interest in our veterinary team: cardiology, radiology, ultrasound, microscopy, small animal medicine, dentals and soft tissue surgery.

We have excellent practice standards, great facilities to work within, and all the necessary equipment available to treat our small animal patients in an emergency situation. You can opt to work days / nights / weekends on a rota basis. Rota patterns can be discussed with Helen our Clinical Director. New grad candidates are always welcome! You are not left working sole charge until after your initial 6 months (or until you feel comfortable!)

We offer attractive salary and benefits including:

  • Company bonus scheme.
  • CPD fully encouraged and funded
  • Assistance with further education / certificates
  • RCVS membership and VDS cover paid.
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Company Share saver scheme.
  • Perk Box offering a range of discounts
  • Employee Assistance Programme

Company

West Mount Vets have developed a hospital centre in Halifax providing high quality veterinary services for animals under the care of the entire practice.

Quality Care
Commitment to continuous investment both in our surgeries and equipment, and in the training and further education of our staff.

Every year we reinvest in our practice, improving and updating our premises and equipment. We are actively committed to continuously upgrading the knowledge and skills of our vets and support staff to bring your pets the level of care they deserve.

The practice provides post-graduate training for the vets and a continuous development programme of further education for veterinary nurses, trainees and all other support staff.

Appointments
At our Halifax surgery appointments are available every day of the year. On average ten minutes will be allocated to each case although certain consultations may take longer. Waiting times for our clients will be kept to a minimum.

We believe that our clients like to see familiar faces. We will do our best to maintain continuity of treatment. If you wish to see a particular vet, please ask when you make an appointment.

The veterinary hospital surgery on Pellon Lane is our flagship practice.

We offer the same high standard of advice, health checks, preventative care and treatment for sick pets as elsewhere at West Mount Vets

In Halifax, when other surgeries are closed, there are always vets and support-staff on-site.

The staff look after patients who require close observation and round the clock nursing, and provide emergency care for our clients’ animals in case of accident or acute illness at night or at weekends.

We take great pride in the services we can provide our clients from this surgery. We are one of few practices to have a veterinary surgeon present on-site every day and night of the year.

Services and facilities at this surgery include:
Vet appointments, Vet Nurse appointments, consultations, health advice, vaccinations, micro-chipping, surgical facilities, neutering, dental care, X-Ray, Ultrasound, ECG, endoscopes, therapeutic laser, diagnostic laboratory, warm comfy kennels, intensive-care, pet-food advice and sales, effective wormers and flea products.  Special rates at our weekday afternoon budget clinics.

Our patients include dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamster, gerbils and ferrets.

The waiting room is fitted with air conditioning for the comfort of our patients (and owners!)
