Equine Veterinary Surgeon - Ambulatory - FTC
Our ambulatory equine veterinary team is seeking a full-time vet with equine experience, for 12-month maternity cover from June 2025. As a practice, we are flexible and whilst cover for a full year would be ideal, we may consider applicants for a shorter period; equally, if mutually agreeable, this could progress to a permanent role.
About the role
This role is predominantly ambulatory with the option to follow cases through in the clinic. We treat a wide range of horses from competition horses to geriatric ponies and everything in between. We are a client care focused team; therefore, good communication skills and a compassionate approach are very important components to the position. The role may suit a vet part way through GDP or a graduate program as we are experienced in mentoring and training recent graduates.
Hours of work
The role will consist of working Monday to Friday 08:30 to 17:30 with a 1-hour break. The out of hours on-call rota for nights and weekends is approximately 1:5. We offer a good out of hours rota with time off in lieu, phone, RCVS and BEVA membership, CPD allowance, and pension scheme, along with a competitive salary dependent on experience.
