We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. A normal day would consist of two hours consulting and two hours operating in the mornings with an hour's break for lunch and then consulting in the afternoon. Our people are at the heart of everything that we do; that's why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that truly flexes with you and your lifestyle, no matter what stage you are in your career. There are no night duties at St Mary's as we are covered by Vets Now. The rota is Monday to Friday 9:00 am - 6:30 pm (with one half day each week), plus a 1 in 3 Saturday morning. There are regular clinical meetings and frequent informal case discussions. Appropriate support is supplied, dependent on the needs of the successful candidate.
The successful candidate should be able to work to a high standard and have experience in consulting, routine surgery, and case workups. You must be able to cope with sole charge, although in general, this will only happen on a Saturday morning. Appropriate support and training is available.
St Mary's Veterinary Clinic is a small animal clinic based in Dorset, with ready access to the Jurassic coast and New Forest, with good air and rail connections from the nearby towns of Bournemouth and Poole. We have an in-house laboratory, Digital X-ray and Dental X-ray facilities, modern ultrasound, endoscope, bronchoscope, and other tools. Most cases are dealt with in-house, but we have close support from Southern Counties Veterinary Services, one of the largest referral centres in the UK. We are renowned for being a caring, family-feel practice and have cat-friendly status. At IVC Evidensia, we are committed to Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, and Belonging; we are keen to hear from candidates from all minority and diverse groups. As a Disability Confident Employer, we are keen to hear from candidates with disabilities and long-term health conditions and would be happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments needed during the recruitment process.
