Here at Deepdale Vets, we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our close-knit friendly team.
We are situated in the green, leafy town of Potten, near Sandy and Biggleswade. If you enjoy getting outside for your lunch break, there is a local cafe next door and plenty of fields and woodlands to amble through. We have toys for our Vets to play with - digital x-ray, ultrasound, tonovet, and lots of lovely Registered Veterinary Nurses to ensure we don't break them! We are also awaiting a new dental x-ray. Our premises is spacious and up to date, with a large waiting room, encompassing a pet shop area, an in-house laboratory including a recently acquired urinalysis machine, prep room, dental room, imaging suite, two operating theatres, kennels and separate cat ward.
We work closely with our Letchworth clinic and many of their staff members spend time at Deepdale. There is an opportunity to spend some time at Letchworth too.
We need another Vet to complete our team and help us look after our wonderful clients. Across both sites, we have an ophthalmology certificate holder for those tricky eye cases. One of our vets has just started his exotics certificate while another is enjoying the challenge of a medicine certificate. At Deepdale, we have a surgeon to tackle complicated procedures, including orthopedics, and another colleague who has all but completed her dermatology certificate. We can't wait to find out what skills you could add!
We care about your work/life balance. We offer working patterns that flex with you and your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for rota hours to balance the school holidays, time to maintain a hobby or other interest, or just looking to strike that balance between home and work life, we can offer flexibility that actually works for you.
