Roundwood Pet Hospice are looking for vets to join our team in one of the most rewarding jobs in the profession. If you’re ready to make a real difference to the lives of pets and owners then please read on.
What is Roundwood Pet Hospice?
Roundwood Pet Hospice was founded with one clear goal in mind: We help pets live well to the end and leave families with enduring, happy memories. As hospice vets, we are focused on the end of a pet’s life when diagnostics and surgery are no longer required. By focusing on end-of-life care advice, palliative medicine, and in-home euthanasia services we offer that little bit extra to reduce suffering and help owners through the trauma of losing their beloved pets.
Who Are We Looking For?
You’ll be a veterinarian with at least two years of experience in general practice. You’ll have a healthy level of empathy and will be sensitive to the needs of others with a strong desire to give them what they need.
As a vet, you’ll have developed a strong ability to help clients make good decisions, even if they are difficult ones. You’ll be able to take complicated information and distil it down into simple terms to help families understand their options.
Most of all you will understand the final appointment will be the most important and impactful interaction a vet will have with pets and their families. Can you leave owners with positive memories of that appointment? If so, we want to hear from you.
