Salary up to £65,000 plus a Relocation allowance of up to £5000 (for those eligible)
We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team here at White Cross Vets, Eccleshill. A typical day for our Vets starts with an hour of consults, followed by operating until around 3pm. After that, there is afternoon surgery with plenty of breaks in between appointments to allow you to catch up with clients, tend to inpatients, or grab a cup of tea!
Rota patterns that work for you
Our full-time Veterinary Surgeons work 40 hours over 4 days, with a share of Saturdays, with TOIL back. At White Cross Vets, we understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and therefore are also looking forward to hearing back from those that are looking for a more flexible rota or part-time hours. There is no out-of-hours work required.
Practice and location
Eccleshill practice is in a great location, easily accessible by public transport (there's even a bus stop right outside the practice!). One of the most notable features of Eccleshill is its beautiful green spaces. The area is home to a number of parks and nature reserves, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life and great if you enjoy walking, jogging, or cycling. Within our practice, we have a Dental x-ray, main x-ray, new ultrasound machine, in-house laboratory, and in-house Sedivue for urine analysis, and we're currently completing our ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic status.
Meet our team!
We currently have 3 Veterinary Surgeons, 5 Registered Veterinary Nurses, and 1 Student Nurse along with a fabulous team of Receptionists. We work closely with a Roving Surgical Vet who's currently studying towards a certificate in Small Animal Surgery, as well as a Peripatetic WX Scanning Team which consists of three certificate holders in Diagnostic Imaging - plenty of people to learn from! We are always open to discussing any CPD you would like to complete or chat to you about any that you're currently working towards!
Support and Well Being
We promote an open dialogue and focus on supporting each other at work. Every decision related to the practice is made after consulting the team and getting feedback from everyone involved. During our monthly wellbeing afternoons, the teams take a couple of hours to come together, where we have built lanterns, made terrariums, painted portraits of each other, and made Valentine's cards to tell our colleagues how much we appreciate them. We also had Santa Claus visiting the practice as a Christmas special! We regularly organise meals out, and last year we went axe throwing together.
