Job Details

The Role

We have an opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join us in a weekend consulting role - flexibility is possible. Shifts are 8.30-6 Saturday and Sunday, but the right candidate could just do one day or half days. 3 in 4 weekends, although we could take someone for 2 in 4 instead. We have our own nights team, so no nights work needed and no sending cases to OOH providers.

Salary

£27 per hour 

About Us

We are a large 4 branch practice on the outskirts of beautiful Edinburgh. We are very proud to have been awarded RCVS hospital status this year! We maintain a family feel, and all look out for each other (with plenty of socialising!). Providing our own excellent nights care, our practice is growing and growing and we would like to provide our clients more weekend availability. Excellent facilities and team to learn from (incredible nurses, cert holder vets, keyhole surgery, ultrasound, x-ray, dental x-ray, endoscopy, acupuncture).

We have 20 FTE Vets and 20 FTE Nurses, supported by a team of 12 receptionists. Vets holding, or working towards, certificates in ECC, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Pain Management, and a Behaviour Masters course. We also have an exotics vet, and our internal medicine cert holding vet has a keen dermatology interest. We work closely with Lothian Cat Rescue, and a local Greyhound rescue charity, as well as other local charities. The candidate will join one consulting vet, one inpatient/urgent cases vet, two receptionists and two nurses (supported by SVNs and an ACA) at the weekend. This will be a consulting role, but with opportunity to work up cases and ensure continuity of care.

Applicant Requirements

The ideal candidate will be comfortable with routine consultations, and triage of urgent/emergency cases. Support is provided as needed, but a brand new graduate may struggle with the usual fast pace of a weekend. A graduate with a few months experience in a busy practice may suit, depending on confidence and consulting abilities. One or two other experienced vets will be working alongside the candidate. MRCVS required.
