Here at Summerhill Veterinary Centre, we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team.
The day-to-day duties include consultations, diagnostic and surgical procedures, to work within a team of motivated and skilled vets and nurses, and excellent support staff. If you have a particular area of interest this will be encouraged and supported. Experience is ideal but a new graduate would be considered.
About the rota
Normal working days are Monday to Friday 08:30-17:30, this can be flexible within these times, days off are included, and later evening consultations are possible if wanted. We provide our own 'on call' out of hours service to our own clients. On duty times are between 17:30 and 08:30 Monday to Friday, and Weekends from 08:30 Saturday to 08:30 Monday. There are no routine consultations during these times. On duty is either a Saturday or Sunday. Frequency of on call is 1:5/6 Monday-Friday, then 1:7 Saturday and 1:8 Sunday.
The Practice
Summerhill Veterinary Centre is a small animal, one site, well equipped practice and has been based in Fakenham, Norfolk since 1993. We are an RCVS accredited first-opinion practice, which also takes local referrals in multiple disciplines. The practice is based in a market town with a close-knit community. We are close to the North Norfolk beaches, pinewoods, the Norfolk Broads and equidistant between Norwich and Kings Lynn. We are 1.75 hrs from central London by train.
We are a training practice for veterinary nurses.
We aim to provide a high quality, professional, friendly service, and all work together as a team, and with our clients, to provide the best care for their pets.
Meet our team
Currently we have 6 Veterinary Surgeons, 11 Veterinary Nurses and 2 Veterinary Care Assistants. We also have 5 Receptionists, and 4 Support Staff responsible for administration and management. The two Clinical Directors also take an active role in the management of the practice, having owned the practice prior to joining IVCEvidensia.
Our ideal candidate
We would prefer an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is able to work within the team and also be happy to work with a nurse on call. We would consider a graduate with less experience (and would provide dedicated backup cover). We would like someone who is a motivated GP vet and who wants to provide excellent care within our rural community. We would encourage and support someone to develop their own areas of interests within the practice, to complement our team of dedicated, skilled vets and nurses.
