Are you an experienced vet looking to join a passionate team where you can learn new skills and really achieve your career goals? What if you could be part of this team with the support of a multi-certificate holder behind you?
Our small animal practice in Totton, Hampshire, is growing fast and looking for an additional veterinary surgeon to join our friendly team.
Our practice owner, Dr Judith Archbold, is an Advanced Practitioner in small animal surgery, and opened Totton Vets4Pets in June 2018.
As well as Judith, you’ll also be joining an exceptional team of 2 full time veterinary surgeons, 2 RVNs, 2 SVNs and 3 receptionists with our nurse team having a combined experience of 50 years!
Judith’s multiple certificates including a certificate in emergency medicine and surgery as well as in soft tissue/orthopaedic surgery certAVP(gSAS), puts us in a unique position to offer a varied case load and learning experience. We have orthopaedic equipment on site and are open to investing in further equipment, depending on our vets’ skills sets and interests.
Our days are well structured with consultations between 9am-12pm with ops in between, lunch and then consultations again from 3pm with the last consultation at 6pm with the intention for everyone to leave on time when the practice closes at 7pm.
Ideally this is a full-time role to support the growth of the practice, with flexibility for shorter hours considered if required. Full-time our vets currently work 4 days a week, in addition to a shared Saturday rota when we open between 9am and midday, for consultations and emergencies only. There are no OOH.
In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for a colleague with solid GP experience, confident in occasional sole charge, a team player with great communication skills and someone that shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.
By joining us you will be part of a supportive and welcoming team in addition to:

2. 4 weeks holiday + 8 bank holidays’ (FTE)
3. Life assurance 4 x annual salary

5. Paid memberships (RCVS, BVA, VDS)
6. Dedicated CPD allowance
7. Funding and support towards certificates available
8. No OOH

Totton itself can be found on the west side of Southampton with easy access to the picturesque New Forest National Park, making it a desirable place to anyone wishing to explore both coast and countryside.
We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference so if you meet our role requirements, we’d love to hear from you.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
