Purovets is proud to be working with an independent small animal practice group in Bedfordshire that is highly renowned as one of the best in the area. They are an innovative progressive clinic aiming to work to the highest clinical standards, and they are hoping to move to new state-of-the-art premises in the near future. As well as their current equipment, including an ECG, x-ray and ultrasound, the new premises will have a CT scanner, hydrotherapy treadmill, separate ortho suite and much more.
My client is looking for a caring and clinically motivated Veterinary Surgeon with a positive attitude and full confidence in routine surgical and medical procedures to step into a senior role. They are a large, experienced and friendly 14 FTE vet team led by two accomplished and supportive clinical directors, one being a certificate holder in small animal surgery, who are both deeply passionate about development and clinical freedom. Others are training for certificates in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, and the practice is proud to offer an advanced range of soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures, as well as advanced diagnostic imaging, to their clients. Therefore, you can be sure that this team will provide the highest standard of care, 100% of the time.
The successful candidate will be a friendly, compassionate, and proactive Veterinary Surgeon with at least six years of experience and full confidence in all routine surgical and medical procedures. You will be happy to work collaboratively in a busy environment whilst taking pride in providing exceptional patient care. You will play a key role in expanding and enhancing the services of two of their branch practices that have both grown exponentially this year. There is a fantastic caseload available for a Vet who is wanting to start a certificate or already working towards one. They are also an accredited nurse training practice and offer a clear development pathway for new graduates, the latter of which will be an important aspect of your responsibilities. If you are already VetGDP accredited, that would be an added bonus!
Their full-time rota is only 35 hours a week for 4 days, with one early 5pm finish every week. You will only work 1 in 7 Saturdays and receive time off in lieu the following week, and there are no OOHs whatsoever! The practice is excellently located just a short walk to the town centre, whilst being only a 30-minute drive to Luton Airport and a 50 minute train into central London. If you are looking for more to do in the outdoors, there are several national parks and nature reserves locally.

* Fantastic Work/Life Balance:
* 4-day week with one finish at 5pm.
* Only 35 hours a week.
* 1 in 7 Saturdays with TOIL the following week.
