An exciting opportunity has become available for a Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join us at Overdale Veterinary Centre in Buxton. Overdale Veterinary Centre is part of a group of veterinary practices based in Derbyshire, with partner sites in Ashbourne and Wirksworth. The role would primarily be based at the Overdale branch in Buxton, but we occasionally help out at our partner practices.
Work-life balance that works for you
We are flexible and would consider both full-time and part-time applicants. The full-time role is based on a 40-hour week over 5 days, with the clinic open between 8:00 am - 7:00 pm. We offer a flexible rota between a 4-5 day week tailored to our vets' needs. The clinic is open on Saturday mornings (8 am-2 pm), staffed on a 1 in 4 to 1 in 6 rota (depending on staffing levels). No OOH or Bank holiday working. Our on-call is undertaken by Vets Now, which is a short distance away in Macclesfield.
About us
Overdale Veterinary Centre is based in the picturesque spa town of Buxton, nestled in the Peak District. The clinic has a classical feel, with the ethos of providing a high standard of clinical care to our clients. We have 3 small animal consulting rooms (2 vet and 1 nurse), one dedicated operating theatre, an imaging suite (digital x-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy plus dental x-ray arriving soon), prep area with dental facilities, and in-house laboratory. We have separate cat and dog kennels.
We currently have a team of 4 full-time and 2 part-time vets ranging from 1 to 18 years of experience. We have small animal medicine certificate holders, with another in progress, providing a wide breadth of skills and experience to support and mentor new additions. We are a nurse training practice with 3 full-time and 4 part-time qualified nurses, including several ECC certificate holders. Our dedicated reception team manages the front of house.
With the Peak District literally on your doorstep, you can enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits in your leisure time, including rock climbing, cycling, angling, and walking. Buxton also benefits from the Buxton Opera House, which has a very good lineup. If you miss the big city, Manchester is only a short train ride away. There is a lot to do in Buxton, and we are a very social practice, frequently having nights out, BBQs, and weekend activities.
