Donnington Grove - Newbury, Newbury, South East
Donnington Grove are looking to recruit a new Ambulatory Vet to join our team. The role will be primarily ambulatory, with case follow-up in the clinic encouraged.
We have a varied clientele to include pleasure horses, sport horses, and racing. Our ideal candidate would be relatively experienced, confident in performing pre-purchase examinations, and eligible to carry out BHA race duties, in addition to the usual ambulatory skillset. However, less experienced candidates will also be considered. You will enjoy clinical freedom with the back-up of our clinic specialists and friendly supportive ambulatory team.
There is a vehicle (typically a 4x4 pick up) included in this role.
Rota patterns that work for you
Typically, this is a full-time role working 45 hours Monday – Friday; however, we are happy to discuss part-time during the standard working week. The position will require participation in a 1 in 7 out-of-hours rota. Out of hours work is relatively quiet and does not include stud work, anaesthesia, or clinic admissions, which are covered by separate teams.
Donnington Grove Veterinary Group is a large practice based in Newbury, Berkshire with a well-appointed clinic, which accepts first opinion and referral cases for surgery, MRI, CT, scintigraphy, and medical investigations as well as a large in-house laboratory. We have an abundance of mobile kit and support staff to help with ambulatory procedures.
