Small Animal Vet - Seadown Veterinary Hospital
At Seadown we recognise the need for the all-round care of our patients. But at the same time, we recognise our team members as individuals; and the need to look for different ways of providing this care, within a framework that allows the supported development, clinical challenge, and job satisfaction for everyone.
This is why we have developed a new role within our team of vets. This role allows the clinical freedom and flexibility to develop your skills during normal working hours, within a large and supportive team of Vets and Nurses; yet at the same time also gives some exposure to OOH that you may be interested in!
What's the role?
We are recruiting for a day Small Animal Vet to join us our our accredited Veterinary Hospital. As we are open 24/7 there are some OOH shifts involved, which are 2 weeknights per month + 1x 24hour weekend shift per month (for a full time rota). You will be paid an OOH duty allowance for these hours on top of your base salary.
We are also happy to consider part time shift patterns which would mean less OOH, however some OOH are still required.
How busy are the nights?
We only cover OOHs for our own clients, which means the OOHs case load is not heavy, with an average of 2-3 clients seen per night; these cases will vary from a medical consult to full surgical cases.
With international airports less than an hour away this allows those aspiring travellers easy and regular access to Europe and beyond. There are also fantastic train and motor links, giving you ample opportunity to explore our wonderful surroundings.
As for the clinical work – we have a team of 12 FTE SA vets and 22 VNs, with multiple certificate / diploma holders within those teams. The team are always looking to give the very best clinical care to our patients, and we facilitate that endeavour by supporting them with the clinical freedom, equipment, CPD, and support that they deserve.
The New Forest National Park and Solent ensure the local area offers excellent recreational opportunities particularly equestrian, cycling, sailing and walking; as well as beautiful beaches, ancient woodlands, and wildlife. Ponies, cattle, donkeys and deer roam free, yet it's only 90 minutes by train to London.
