Job Details

Day to day duties involve acting in the role of clinical lead, consulting and operating and handling clinical complaints. Ideally you will have a good understanding of financial aspects of running a veterinary clinic including but not limited to profit and loss, budgets and stock. The role ideally would be five days per week but four days would be considered. Hours are between 08:30 and 19:00. There are no weekend or out of hours requirements with this role. Salary range £55,000 - £65,000 depending on experience.

About UsShield Veterinary Centre is across two sites, one in Hedge End between Portsmouth and Southampton and one in the beautiful medieval village of Bishop's Waltham home to a famous medieval palace. The clinics are well equipped with ultrasound, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, endoscopy and Idexx laboratory machines (Catalyst and Procyte). We have two consulting rooms at each site and dedicated theatres.

However, the best thing about our clinic is not our equipment, it is our team. We have a three to one support to surgeon ratio, our nursing team consists of predominantly RVNs and one SVN per site.

If you like walking and cycling, there is no place better than the New Forest, more into paddle boarding? We have excellent rivers to do so and the ocean!

There are 6 FTE veterinary surgeons and 10 FTE nurse across the two sites. There are 4 FTE receptionists across the two sites. We have multiple OVs and our team of surgeons range from three years qualified to 36 years qualified and all are excellent all round clinicians. Our current CD is leaving us to relocate with her family to Canada and is very sad to be leaving us and is happy to speak with anyone who wants more information.
