We are looking for an enthusiastic GP Vet to work in our two vet clinics in Stoke Bishop, managing the small team there and providing care to the lovely dedicated client base. We have a welcoming team across 8 sites in Bristol, run by an experienced team of Clinical Directors and Senior Vets, many of whom have been with the practice for more than a decade. Our Stoke Bishop surgery has a very experienced team to support you and a dedicated client base willing to go above and beyond for their pets.
What’s on offer for you?
You will have lots of support from experienced colleagues with Certificates in Surgery, Feline medicine, and Small Animal Medicine. We also have certificates ‘In-Progress’ and a wealth of other experience and qualifications in other handy subjects such as Behaviour, Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture. Your working week will be over four days, and you will also be part of the shared weekend rota. There are no night duties or bank holiday work as our Redland Hospital is the host practice for the Vets Now Bristol Clinic. The Stoke Bishop site has a full-time registered nurse, a VCA, and very experienced receptionists to support you.
Our Stoke Bishop site has the ability to perform operations, with x-ray (both routine and dental) and we have a mobile ultrasound that can be brought to the clinic if needed. The shift would be two days a week operating and consulting, and two days consulting only. Ideally, we are looking for a full-time candidate, with 39.5 hours over 4 days available, with a fixed day off alternating between Wednesdays and Fridays. We are looking for a candidate who would be happy to join our weekend rota, but both full and part-time applicants will be considered.
About You
We are looking for a Vet with more than 1 year of post-graduation experience. Our new Vet must be able and willing to perform GP work, including consultations. Although all complex cases could be referred to our hospital team, you will be able to bring these cases across and work them up with the hospital team if wanting to progress. Our ideal candidate will be organised and a good communicator with both clients and colleagues.
