Job Details

Surgery Information / Job Description

Since opening in 2000, this locally owned surgery has worked hard to provide the community with excellent care and service to our loyal client base, and we have an opportunity for a new veterinary surgeon to be a part of our established team. Our surgery is based just 7 miles from Manchester city centre for cultural days out, or if you prefer country walks, the Peak District is just a short drive away.

The busy practice was taken over 4 years ago by a vet and nurse team with many years’ of clinical experience between them! Clinical freedom for continued personal growth and development is encouraged.

Person Specification

You, the ideal candidate, will have good surgical and diagnostic skills along with a desire to explore and complete full work up on cases to compliment the current two full time vet team. We have an amazing 6 strong nurse team that love to be kept busy as well as a friendly front-of-house team of 5 receptionists.

We can offer a full time vacancy, 40 hours per week with 1 in 3 weekends. There is no OOH requirement and after working a weekend you will have 3.5 days off…a very long weekend!  We understand the importance of a good work-life balance. If full time hours isn’t for you then we can negotiate part time hours for the right candidate.

Benefits

We can offer you:

  • Salary up to £65k (FTE) dependent on experience
  • Generous CPD including certificate funding
  • No OOH
  • Negotiable rota
  • Locally owned with corporate benefits
  • Enhanced pension
  • Private healthcare
  • Paid memberships (RCVS, VDS, etc)
  • Company discounts and benefits – including 20% off Vets4Pets, Pets at Home and the Groom Room

Locally owned practices with a world of support

At Vets for Pets we’re a network of practices that are owned and managed by the practice owners that run them. Because they’re locally owned, each practice has the freedom to serve patients and clients the way it thinks is best. 

But crucially, being locally-owned also means enjoying a truly team-spirited atmosphere. We want all our colleagues to build lasting relationships with practice owners and team members as well as patients and clients.

And because we’re also part of a wider group, you’ll get all the support you need when you need it. That means state-of-the-art facilities, high quality CPD, financial stability and a real sense of job security.

With our framework, we’ve made it simpler and easier for you to help patients and clients live happier, healthier lives together. It’s about making the most of your expertise and bringing this to life in practise while being safe in the knowledge that you’re looked after too. Simply put, we offer locally owned practices with a world of support.

Flexibility & Wellbeing
You tell us which hours you want to work, and we’ll do everything we can to make it happen. With us, you could enjoy a better work-life balance where flexibility and wellbeing come first.

Training & Development
We offer great training programmes, plus fully funded CPD, leadership courses and access to our group’s learning curriculum. We’ll also support you if you’re interested in owning a practice. With our wealth of resources, it’s easy to build your skills and develop your career.

Local Practices
With us, no two practices are the same. We’re deeply rooted in our local communities and we want you to really get to know your patients and clients locally.

Being part of the Pets At Home Group
Being part of Vets for Pets means you’ll be part of our network of locally owned practices. Our practices are located across the country and are owned and run by our Joint Venture Partners (JVPs). Our Joint Venture Partnership model is unique and gives everyone the best of both worlds. Working within one of our practices you’ll get to work with the JVP who has the clinical freedom and autonomy to do things their own way.

As we’re part of a large respected organisation you’ll also enjoy the benefits of being part of a wider PLC Group. This means we can give you greater stability and job security during these uncertain times and beyond. 

What’s more, we’ve worked hard to make sure everyone in our group can take part in a fun, friendly, professional and inclusive culture that allows you to bring your whole self to work and be at your very best.
