A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Veterinary Surgeon to join an independent small animal practice in the historic city of Colchester. Renowned for its ancient Roman heritage, including the iconic Colchester Castle, the city offers a blend of rich history and modern living. With a vibrant cultural scene, excellent educational institutions, lush green spaces, shopping areas, and numerous family-friendly attractions, Colchester is not only an exciting place to work but also a wonderful place to live.
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you will become part of a dedicated and passionate team, all committed to providing exceptional care to the pets of the local community. Our client is focused on creating a work environment that prioritises the professional growth and wellbeing of its staff, fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.
The practice operates two modern, purpose-built facilities in the area, equipped with cutting-edge technology, including new flexible endoscopes, digital tonometry, class 4 laser, echocardiography, and much more. They have separate wards for cats and dogs, an isolation area, and even a dedicated cat waiting area and consulting room designed to ISFM recommendations. This is the only practice in the region to offer around-the-clock care, with veterinary and nursing staff on-site every night of the year, ensuring the best possible care for in-patients.
The team is made up of six experienced veterinarians, supported by a team of RVNs (as a training practice) and a strong support staff. Additionally, there is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon on staff, along with clinicians pursuing certifications in cardiology and soft tissue surgery. The practice prides itself on its strong team ethos, where help and advice are always readily available for complex cases, thanks to the diverse expertise within the team, including certificate holders.
