Veterinary Surgeon – Surrey

Do you want to be part of a friendly, dynamic team with a feline medicine cert holder, visiting cardiologist and orthopaedic surgeon to learn from?

My clients in Surrey are currently looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join the team. They are offering a 4 day week as standard. Out of hours weeknights 1:5 consults until 7pm, then inpatient care, only if the nursing team need help. They have a dedicated duty/inpatient vet each night allowing you to leave on time the rest of the week.

Weekends are Saturday am consults then on call until 5pm. Sunday on call only 8-5pm. They offer a good mix of consults and theatre time. Due to being increasingly busy due to the covid pet boom, confidence with routine surgery is essential but support available from Surgery Certificate holder for anything more complex. They are welcoming applications for both part time and full time hours (minimum 2 full days. Weekends pro rata).

They is a well-established local practice in Surrey, with 2 branches within a 15 minute drive. They moved to a new purpose built hospital premises in 2018. They have a really good mix of well insured clients wanting gold standard plus RSPCA and other charity work. All the usual toys including tonopen, surgical diathermy, digital dental x-ray. Plenty of time to work up cases with support available if needed.

They are a team of 8 Veterinary Surgeons (6.5FTE), 8 Nurses (7FTE 6 RVN's and 2SVN) with an amazing support team of 12 who do all the hard work to keep the practice running smoothly. They are in the process of expanding the team from 8-9 so they can ensure they have the time needed to work up cases and provide the excellent care their clients deserve.

They are looking for a candidate with some experience who is passionate about the provision of high quality service to patients and clients. Candidates will need to be competent in routine consultations and surgery, with any specialist interests being welcomed and supported.
