Job Details

Surgery Information / Job Description

James and Emma are recruiting for an approachable and confident veterinary surgeon to join their friendly team based in Crawley, West Sussex. 

This is a fantastic chance to work within a supportive practice with an established client base. We are located inside a Pets at Home store which is placed on the side of a retail park with Costa, Next and TKmaxx, M&S and Tesco all within walking distance. We have ample parking in front of the practice and there are good links to public transport if required. Gatwick is within a 15 minute commute and you can be in London within 40 minutes on the train.

You will be joining a friendly and passionate team consisting of 6 vets, 6 nurses, 2 VCAs and 6 receptionist plus one client care manager that help us to deliver the best care and service possible to our clients. Partners Emma Clarke RVN graduated from University of Bristol in 2011 and James Fowler MRCVS, qualified in 2000 from University of Edinburgh. 

The team hold a variety of interests including Head Vet Sara with a Certificate in Small Animal Oncology and is about to start a certificate in Diagnostic Imaging and 2 other vets that are finishing an Emergency and Critical Care certificate. Emma has a Rabbit nursing diploma and a diploma in emergency and critical care, and James has a Certificate in Small Animal Medicine but he does have an interest in surgery ad exotics as well.

Person Specification

James and Emma are hugely supportive of ongoing development and happy to support areas of individual interest, and due to the experience within the existing team, they can consider experienced as well as recently qualified Vets. 

You will be approachable and recognise the importance of building trusted relationships with your patients, clients and colleagues. Experienced vets will feel confident with routine surgical and medical cases and newly qualified vets will be keen to learn and put the theory into practice. The practice offers clinical freedom and the opportunity to work with a varied and loyal client base, working up cases to a high standard. 

This is a full time position, 40 hours per week, over a 4 day rota with one fixed day off. Weekends are on a 1.5 every 5 weeks (one full weekend plus one Saturday). Part time hours can be considered with a minimal requirement 30 hours per week.

Benefits

You will be working from a practice that is purpose built and well equipped with the usual tools such as capnography, ECG, biochemistry and haematology in house, digital radiography and ultrasound machine. We are very fortunate to have separate waiting areas for cats and dogs as well as separate kennels at the back. The majority of our clients are insured allowing us the freedom to offer gold standard treatment and to work up our cases as much as possible.

In return, James and Emma offer: 
• Excellent career opportunities 
• Competitive salary dependent on experience 
• Enhanced annual leave 
• Contributory pension scheme 
• Supportive and friendly team environment
• Generous CPD of up £1000 per annum 
• Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS) 
• Exclusive company discounts and rewards including with High Street retailers, restaurants and leisure organisations 

If you would like to be part of our close-knit ambitious team, and share the same ethos as us, we’d love to hear from you!

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.
