Consulting Veterinary Surgeon – Sandal (Maternity Cover)

 

Calder Vets is a central Tier 3 Veterinary Hospital with 10 satellite clinics. We now have a fantastic opportunity available at our Sandal site to welcome a Veterinary Surgeon to our fantastic team.

We believe in work-life balance and offer a great rota;

  • Full and part time applications welcomed. Flexible rota available
  • Contract between 20- 40 hours per week available
  • Full time rota is just 3.5 days per week
  • 1 in 4 weekends

At our Calder Vets Hospital in Dewsbury, we welcome referrals from across Yorkshire and we are proud to provide our own 24-hour on site emergency care through our dedicated ECC night team.  We also offer a full range of primary care services, such as consultations, preventative healthcare, vaccinations, routine and non-routine surgery, dentistry and imaging (x-ray and ultrasound).  We are able to offer some advanced services such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries, cardiology, ophthalmology and CT scans, and we have our own rehabilitation service with physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and laser therapy.

We have a fantastic team across all of our sites and we all support each other. We often discuss clinical cases and get involved in social events. We have a large Vet team and are supported by fantastic nursing and front of house teams. 6 of our Vets are working towards certificates in Surgery, Imaging, Dermatology, Cardiology, Ophthalmology.

Our Sandal practice is one of our smaller satellite consultation only sites. The majority of your this will be consulting with the chance to include a day a week at our Wakefield practice, should you wish to also incorporate operating days into your role. Our Wakefield site is self sufficient with all of the equipment that you would expect of a first opinion site, including x-ray, lab, ultrasound, theatre, dental X-ray. If you would prefer a consultation only role, this is something that we could cater for at our Sandal practice. This is a fantastic role for an all-round GP Vet Surgeon looking for a rewarding position. We have a wonderful, friendly, client base and the role can offer the chance to build great rapport with clients and the opportunity to work more independently but still be part of a larger group and network. We have a team of 2 Vets covering our Sandal site and a fantastic nursing and front of house team.

Our ethos is clinical excellence and we try and live by our Core Values. Client and patient care is at the heart of what we do and we are proud to be a Cat Friendly Clinic. We run on 15 minute consults as a minimum.

This is a maternity cover role initially.

To add, Linnaeus is proud to be a part of the Mars Veterinary Health family of veterinary practices which extends our network of 2,500 veterinary clinics and hospitals in over 20 countries providing industry-leading pet care in over 25 million petcare visits every year.

Company

Our mission at Calder Vets is simply this – to provide a first class personal, caring and professional service to you and your pet, backed up by some of the best facilities in the North of England.

We will do our utmost to provide and advise you on the best preventative healthcare. However, should your pet become ill we will always try and discuss all the available options with you; from basic, simple treatments through to more advanced tests and procedures, should they be required. This means you can make the right decision for your pet armed with all the information you need.

Our vets will always advise you based on what they genuinely believe is in the best interests of your pet. No one at Calder Vets is on commission or ‘performance related pay’, and never will be. All we ask our vets and nurses is that they look after your pets as if they were there own. The number of clients who recommended us to their friends and family is hopefully testament to this.

The nature of Veterinary Medicine is changing, but our practice is still owned by and run by Vets only. This is something that will never change.
