Senior Veterinary Surgeon

The Role

Here at The Avenue Veterinary Clinic, we are looking for a Senior Veterinary Surgeon to join our passionate and dedicated team. Ideally you will be passionate in inspiring and leading the team, be confident in coaching and guiding and ensure the best clinical standards are met. This would also suit a vet with solid experience in first opinion practice looking to step up to a Clinical Director role.

The majority of the clinical work is first opinion consulting with associated surgical cases. You will have the opportunity to take The Avenue Vet forward into further growth with the support of the IVC family and your IVC Business Support Manager in particular. Clinical freedom, style, and areas of special interest are yours to enjoy. You will manage the small team and balance this with clinical work, arranging rotas with our part-time vet to achieve this.

The hours for this role are 40 hours per week over 4-5 days (flexibility can be arranged). Shifts will be self-managed and there are no Sundays or out-of-hours.

The Salary will be up to £70,000 depending on experience.
