GVC are assisting a well-established small animal practice in Warwickshire with the recruitment of a Veterinary Surgeon to join its friendly, experienced and long-serving team.

Recently transformed, this practice offers excellent facilities, a collaborative working environment and genuine opportunities to develop your clinical interests. With a particular need for someone confident in routine surgery, this is an exciting opportunity for a vet who enjoys getting hands-on and wants to make their mark within a supportive team.

🐾 About the Practice

You’ll be joining a welcoming team of vets, nurses, PCAs and receptionists who pride themselves on working collaboratively to provide outstanding care for their patients and clients.

The practice has invested in its facilities and equipment, including:

• Two theatres to support a varied surgical caseload.

The clinical team includes a Certificate Holder in Feline Medicine, a New Graduate Veterinary Surgeon and a vet who works two days per week in a consulting-only capacity.

With a varied range of experience within the team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate, share knowledge and contribute to the continued development of the practice.

🩺 The Role

This position would suit a Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys routine operations and surgery and is keen to develop their own caseload.

The practice is particularly looking for someone confident in routine surgical procedures who can help support the New Graduate Veterinary Surgeon on days when the Clinical Director is not in the practice.

There is also fantastic scope for someone with a surgical or dental interest. The team is keen to grow its surgical caseload, so if you’re looking for the opportunity to develop your confidence, take on more cases and make better use of excellent facilities, you’ll have the support to do so.

You’ll enjoy a varied first-opinion caseload, manage medical and surgical cases, build lasting relationships with clients and contribute to a positive clinical environment.

Working pattern:

• Full-time: 40 hours per week.

• Part-time applications are very welcome, with flexibility to discuss a pattern that suits you.

• 1 in 4 Saturday mornings.

• Permanent position.

• Salary up to £70,000 FTE, depending on experience.

• An interest in developing a surgical caseload, with dentistry being a particular advantage.
