Veterinary Surgeon

The Role
We are looking for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon with interests in both consulting and surgery. We work in a supportive team environment and encourage and support you to develop your own interests. We encourage clinical freedom, case independence and case continuity with an interesting and varied case load. We have lots of equipment including ultrasound and have an in-house blood machine. Our small animal vet will work 40 hours per week over 4 or 5 days (whichever is your preference), 2 Saturdays in 5 and a share in the in-house patient care. Must be a team player with a compassionate and caring nature.

About Us
Midforest Veterinary Practice has been established for over 20 years, we have 2 branches in Totton and Lyndhurst. Our friendly, supportive, experienced team pride themselves on providing the best care for pets and clients alike. Maintaining a good working environment for all staff is of high importance to us, which is proven in our low staff turnover. The vacancy is at our Totton Practice, although you may be required to work at our Lyndhurst Practice from time to time. We have a support team of 5 vets and 5 nurses and 3 receptionists at our Totton Practice and have several certificate holders across the Practice.

Applicant Requirements
We are looking for a Vet who is confident in all aspects of general practice as there will be the occasional sole charge duties. The successful applicant will be as happy in the consult room as in theatre. The successful applicant will also have excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team. Developing client bonds and case continuity is very important in this role. There is clinical freedom to work up your own cases and the caseload would support studying towards a certificate, which the Practice will fully support.
