About Us
We are looking for an experienced small animal veterinary surgeon to join our first opinion four vet practice in Leicestershire.
Teamwork is an essential skill here along with communication because we divide our time between two branches - we all like to make life as easy as possible because veterinary medicine is complicated enough as it is.
The nurses here are supportive, knowledgeable and approachable, generally keeping the vets in line. The vets themselves have good grounding in general practice and broad experience, good client relations tend to come easy, we have a big range of clientele and adaptability is key.
We have the usual items needed for a practice to run - digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy as well as all the fiddly bits like otoscopes, opthalmoscopes, a tonopen and in house lab diagnostics.
The Role
The rota is definitely survivable - 4.5 day week (three long days, a short day and a half day) with one in four Saturdays and our OOH is covered by Vets Now. There is flexibility week to week and we like to try and fit around any extracurricular activities you may have where possible.
A recent reshuffle due to retirement means we are needing someone keen, motivated and friendly to join our team.
We are looking for a full time vet, however, we would consider part time positions- just let us know what suits.

Company
The practice was started in the 1970’s by Mr & Mrs Moravec. It originally looked after all types of animals but later became more specialised, treating only small animals.
In 1995 the practice was sold and became Bray House Veterinary Practice. It became the only 100% small animal practice in the area. Over time, the practice has developed and grown.
As the customer list has increased we have been able to employ more vets. We make sure that we employ vets who have a similar interest in the care and welfare of small animals.
In 2003 the practice opened a new venture in Grantham. The nurses and vets were so confident of their care and compassion we entered the Grantham Journal Business Awards for Customer Care. In 2004 we won this award beating ASDA into second place.
All our vets undergo constant continuing education programmes and both practices are involved in veterinary nurse training. The practices are members of the RCVS, BVA and BSAVA.
The practice also provides help with various companies with regard to the export of finished food products. In the past we have provided extensive help to Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition, Masterfoods, Mars, Telfer Foods, Marks & Spencers, and Arla Foods.
In 2019, our Melton practice were finalists for the Melton Times Customer Focus Award.
