Join our Emergency and Critical care service in Vets Now Salisbury

 

This is an excellent opportunity for a Vet Surgeon who is seeking an interesting and challenging caseload, to become part of our welcoming team here at Vets Now Salisbury.

Vets Now are the UK’s leading provider of emergency pet care. Our nationwide network of out-of-hours pet emergency clinics are open through the night, at weekends and on bank holidays, so we’re ready and waiting to provide the care and support to pets and their owners at the time they need it most. Working as an emergency Vet Surgeon will expose you to a diverse range of cases that you simply won’t see in general practice.

 

Be part of an exceptional team

 

Vets Now handle the largest emergency caseload in Europe affording you a breadth of opportunity to develop an ECC career. Although confidence with sole charge is a must, we have a strong support network, in and out of clinic, and there’s always somewhere to seek advice.

Work/life balance is at the forefront of the way we approach our rota planning and working with our amazing staff to find the best pattern for them is paramount to creating the positive working environment we pride ourselves on. Shifts may include:

Weekday nights: 18:00-09:00

Saturday: 12:00-18:30 or 18:00-09:00

Sunday: 08:30-18:30 or 18:00-09:00

Plus a fair share of bank holidays.

 

Take control of your own career development

 

Working in this ECC setting you will see a diverse and challenging caseload which will sharpen and develop your veterinary skills. At Vets Now we invest heavily in the continuous professional development of all our people across the business. As a vet surgeon you will have access to professional qualifications, progression opportunities, coaching and mentoring. Our CPD package is second to none, VDS and RCVS fees are covered, and we will support you in achieving an ECC certificate.

 

Reward and benefits package

 

Our employees are our greatest asset which is why we offer a first class benefits and rewards package that includes:

  • 7 weeks pro rata annual leave
  • Your birthday as a paid day off
  • Private medical insurance
  • £1500 CPD allowance plus 35 paid hours pro rata
