TERMS
All
working patterns
considered (full-time, part-time, weekend only, annualised hours, branch work only). Our standard pattern is 4 weekdays (8 am till 6.30 pm) plus OOH participation (1:6 weekends and occasional nights, with a day off in recompense). Typically, our Small Animal Vets are based on-site at our busy Hospital in Hook Norton, where there is a fair mix of consult, ops and hospital shifts, plus a regular, sole charge slot at your local branch. We also have an
ambulatory service
for clients and pets who cannot get to any of our surgeries or their pets cannot travel. Our awesome Nursing and Reception Teams support all locations. With
15-minute consults
(increased for more complex cases) and regular administrative breaks, our rotas are designed to be realistic to meet the pet’s needs. You can rest easy, knowing that once your shift ends, you can hand over to our dedicated in-house Night/OOH Vet and Nursing Team, who will look after our in-patients and emergencies throughout the night. You will need the ability to formulate and carry out a clinical plan with a team that is both progressive and open to new ideas. We take pride in offering a high standard of care to clients and patients, and we enable and empower our vets to be able to do the same. Our large and loyal client base provides you with a full and varied caseload, offering plenty of opportunities to further your surgical and medical experience. In addition, we will help you develop your veterinary skills in any field of interest in a very supportive environment. Mentoring is offered via designated internal staff and complemented with a career pathway designed to support your long-term aspirations. The Small Animal Team, including the Vets, Nurses, and Receptionists, is fully committed to providing the very best care. Our ethos is to support each other fully until each case is complete.
