Job Details

My clients in South Wales have an excellent opportunity for a Lead Vet to join their friendly team. Every day at this practice is different, you will carry out 15-minute consults, with time to read up cases and call clients, so we don’t leave at the end of a day with a long to-do list! Due to the sole charge, they are looking for some experience in consulting, the role will also include some surgery time, but this can be altered if you prefer the medical aspect. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving excellence in customer service and clinical care whilst promoting pet wellbeing, delivering preventive services, and treating sick and injured pets.

 

The working day is 9 am-7 pm with a lunch break in the middle. They use a dedicated emergency service, so don’t do nights or weekends, (other than rota’s Saturday mornings 9 am-1 pm). They want staff to have an excellent work/life balance, full-time vets work a 4-day week and always get the same day off each week so this can be achieved.

 

The salary is up to £65,000 + benefits.

 

They are a well-established, first opinion practice based in South Wales, with access to an excellent mix of countryside and city life! Across 3 branches, they are well-equipped with an in-house lab, digital x-ray, K laser, u/s scanner, Laparoscopic and endoscopic equipment, and dental x-ray. The facilities allow them to do as much as we can in-house, allowing a vet’s full clinical freedom. The team is made up of 5 vets, 6 nurses and a dedicated support function including an experienced practice manager. Across the team they have a wealth of experience so there is good support both surgically and medically - all of them are willing to help one another and discuss cases.

 

An experienced veterinary surgeon is required, ideally, with leadership and management knowledge relevant experience preferred but mentoring and support is available. You will have strong communication, organisational and people management skills, and understanding that as a senior vet you must lead by example. Knowledge of veterinary finance is highly desirable. RCVS membership and the right to work in the UK is essential. Clean driver’s license required.

 

Benefits - Subject to Pro Rata:

CPD paid days and allowance

BVA Membership paid

VDS cover

Sponsorship for overseas employees

Initiatives focused on employee wellbeing

Relocation packages

Genuine career progression opportunities
