We have an exciting opportunity for a driven ‘Exotic Veterinary Surgeon’ to join our busy and progressive practice in Killamarsh, Sheffield. Ideally, this would suit an experienced exotic certificate holder or advanced practitioner as we have a large exotic caseload, including first opinion and referral work.
The Role
There is a varied caseload of both exotic and small animal medical and surgical cases, and duties are split between consulting, operating, workups and inpatient care. Our client base is primarily made up of reptiles, avian and small mammals, in addition to cats and dogs. We also provide occasional care for local wildlife parks. We run 30-minute initial exotic consults and 15-minute follow-ups as standard, to enable us to provide an excellent service to our clients and provide an exceptional standard of care to our patients.
We have an interesting caseload, ranging from routine surgery, orthopaedics, keyhole surgery, laser surgery and endoscopy. We also have modern, purpose-built facilities including a comprehensive in-house laboratory, digital x-ray (including dental x-ray) and diagnostic equipment.
There is scope to be an exotics Clinical Director with this role and can be discussed.
