Weekend Veterinary Surgeon

Weekend Veterinary Surgeon- Huntingdon Vets for Pets
Are you looking for a part-time, flexible, role in a progressive, supportive work environment? A practice where patient care and welfare is a priority? Do you want the benefits of working for a major employer but the personal touch and clinical freedom of an independent practice?
Vets4Pets Huntingdon are looking for a weekend vet to be part of their weekend rota with the option to pick up extra shifts in the week should you wish.
Our missing puzzle piece will be a Vet with ideally at least 1 year’s clinical experience, happy with routine presentations looking to progress in a busy and supportive general practice and passionate about providing high levels of client/patient care.
A bit more about us:
We’re a busy first opinion veterinary practice who pride ourselves on providing the best care possible to each individual patient. Our practice is owned by three JVPs, Vet Sandy and RVNs Leanne and Amy. Our core members of our team have been with a number of years creating a friendly, close-knit feeling to our practice. The team comprises of supportive experienced vets including a surgery cert holder with a strong RVN to vet ratio, 2 VCA’s and a dedicated reception team. Our nurses pick up schedule three procedures and consults allowing our vets to concentrate on their cases and work-ups.
In addition to certificates held within the team we welcome a visiting orthopaedic surgeon and cardiologist. This, and the fact we have a high rate of insured clients, means we keep a lot of our work-ups in house. Where we do refer we generally use Dick White referrals and they are really supportive should you require advice on cases. We have a subscription to Vet CT and if you are working sole charge Sandy is always on the end of the phone should you need advice on a case. Our OOH provider, Village Vets are also really helpful in providing advice and support when it comes to refer cases overnight or at the weekend.
We’re based in a great spot for commuting with London and Cambridge both easily accessible via public transport and the A14/A1 if travelling by road.

You will be part of our weekend rota which involves working Saturdays only, with no OOHs as we are closed Sundays. We are ideally looking for someone to cover 2 Saturdays a month however we are flexible on this and when these are worked. Our Saturday opening hours are 9am - 5pm.
You will be working alongside a consulting RVN and 2 receptionists. Saturdays are consults only and there maybe some requirement to undertake surgical procedures should they present.
We are offering a salary of £65k+ (FTE) which is negotiable DOE.
our benefits include:
• CPD allowance and encouraged, as well as funded certificates.
• A day off for your birthday
• Cycle to work scheme
• Death in service
• Increased holiday allowance after 2 years of service
