Our client has a multi-site practice group, consisting of three first opinion sites and a referral centre, which hosts the Highlands’ first out of hours emergency clinic. They are now looking for a Head Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to join the team.
You will be leading the team, supporting them through clinical decisions, ensuring their days are balanced and they can get the most out of their role. They are committed to supporting the staff regarding their potential. You will be supporting and mentoring colleagues to ensure they offer the best care to patients and clients. Within the team, they have a wide variety of experience from graduates to certificate holders. You will want to assist the team to progress in their areas of interests, up to supporting them through certificate choices.
You will work alongside our Practice Director to set professional and clinical objectives and reach business performance goals. They are proud to be able to offer the right candidate a dedicated progression pathway (Surgical and/or Medical), with plenty of exposure to enable you to further your career and fuel your passions.
This is a reputable training practice; the team enjoys building up the skills and confidence of new graduate vets and working with local colleges to bring on RVNs. Testimonials from the existing graduate vets have claimed that “There’s excellent support to newly graduated vets. The practice benefits from a large, supportive and friendly team, enabling graduates to develop to the best of their ability. Each graduate is given their own dedicated mentor, who is vetGDP trained, allowing for a smooth progression through the vetGDP programme. Support can be found from several vetGDP trained staff in the practice.” Many of the graduates they have supported have stayed on to gain skills through various certificates, developing their own practice and growing their multidisciplinary practice.
The sites consist of the main branch itself where you will get to enjoy the hustle, bustle, and challenge of a busy day. At the local branches, you can enjoy sole charge consulting only and their recently launched dedicated OOH practice that is located within the Vet Referrals site. They understand the special relationship that people have with their animals and are committed to providing the individual quality of care their clients deserve. They are in the fortunate position of creating an out of hours service that supports not only their group but other local practices. With the successful development of OOH’s service, the practice team is free to workdays without the added pressure of nights and long weekend shifts.
There are regular staff events, activities, and days out, but nothing brings the team together like fundraising for the local community. Over the years they have raised over £12,000, completed a 24-hour kennel stay, a 12-hour bike-a-thon, and the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course. They have also raised funds to provide 50 pet oxygen masks to Highland fire stations, outdoor community accessible defibrillators at all 3 sites, and have created their own pet food bank to distribute throughout the local area.
Inverness is a city with good shopping, cafes, live music venues, restaurants, and bars. There’s a theatre (Eden Court) which hosts musicals, plays, and ballet; and not forgetting the numerous outdoor music events during the Summer. The Highlands are certainly the place to be for those with a passion for the outdoors - the scenery is second to none and there is endless opportunity for walking, wild swimming, camping, and paddleboarding! Inverness caters to families with an array of festivals and child-friendly events. There is a leisure centre and pool with waterslides, ice skating rink, climbing wall, many parks, and petting farms, to name a few! Many of the primary and high schools in the area have very good reputations and ranking in Scotland.
