Night Veterinary Surgeon

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Night Veterinary Surgeon to join us for 7 nights on, then 14 nights off. Unlike many other practices, our night shifts are only 12 hours which allows our team to benefit from a healthier work life balance. Parkvets provides 24-hour care for a diverse range of inpatients and emergencies. We also provide cover for a number of local practices. You will have access to the fullest range of diagnostic equipment as well as separate cat, dog and exotic wards and be very much a part of the Parkvets team.

Salary

The salary for this role is up to £65,000 depending on experience, plus benefits. 

About Us

We are a large multidisciplinary hospital with several certificate holders in various disciplines (surgery, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, exotics). We have direct radiography, state of the art ultrasound, dental suites with dental x-rays, flexible and rigid endoscopy, laparoscopic equipment, a fully equipped lab with our very own lab staff (in the daytime).
Parkvets is a supportive environment where team play is vital, so we are looking for vets with strong communication skills, a high sense of organisation and time management as well as a desire to deliver clinical excellence with genuine compassion for their patients and clients. If this, is you, then why not join one of the best teams in the South East?
 

About the Team and Culture

We are a dedicated team of 28 vets and 30 nurses, plus fantastic support staff to assist where needed. Our culture is based on compassion and understanding, coupled with high standards of clinical care. Throughout the night there would be one qualified RVN and 2 VCAs available to support on your shifts.
