White Cross Vets, Balby, Doncaster, Yorkshire & The Humber
Salary up to £70,000 Plus a Relocation Allowance up to £5000
We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at Balby, Doncaster. This role is based at our busy first opinion practice alongside our fantastic team of certificate holders in a range of different disciplines.
Fix or flex – find your perfect balance
We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career, and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you are looking to fix or flex your work patterns, we can find the right solution for you. Our full-time vets work 40 hours per week, usually over 4 days – however, we're also keen to hear from those looking for something more flexible or part-time. We are currently open 08:00am to 12:30pm on Saturday mornings, and therefore you would be required to work 1 in 4 of these.
What the day looks like
In general, our Veterinary Surgeons' week would include 2 days of surgery and a '2nd ops' shift day - however, we're happy to hear from those looking for something different or those with particular passions and interests. We can tailor the role to you! We're also looking forward to hearing from anyone who is looking for support in further development (certificates, training etc.). Admin time is provided each day to allow you to catch up on notes, reporting of lab results, phoning clients, prescriptions etc., or for researching and planning cases. Appointments are 15 minutes long as standard but are booked for 30 minutes for second opinions, skin and ear cases (to allow for cytology and client communication), euthanasias, and more difficult cases.
Meet the Team at Balby
We currently have 4 Veterinary Surgeons with Certificates in Internal Medicine, Dentistry, and Surgery and have recently been joined by a new grad! We have a fabulous team of 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses with certificates in Anaesthesia, Behaviour, ECC, and Physiotherapy. In addition, we have two outstanding VCAs, one of whom will move to an SVN role later this year. We have a clinical lead nurse as well as a head nurse who are both deeply passionate about quality. We are open to supporting CPD and any areas you are passionate about developing in.
Our front of house team is second to none, who have fantastic relationships with our clients and keep all vets and nurses organised too! As a team, we work to a very high standard of care; we routinely conduct clinical audits and change our ways of working to ensure patient safety is our top priority! We are passionate about teaching and enjoy being a training practice for SVN placements. Despite all the hard work and passion for the pets we look after, we ensure we find time for wellbeing and team building. Our Wellbeing afternoons in clinic include everything from BB gun target practice in the car park (with cardboard targets!) to arts and crafts.
You'll struggle to find a team who has each other’s backs and genuinely enjoy working and supporting each other (and having a good laugh in the process!) as much as White Cross Vets, Balby.
