Here at Basildon Pitsea Vets4Pets, we are a 24-hour RCVS small animal accredited hospital, 30 mins by train into London as well as direct transport links to Southend and Stanstead airports.
We are also 25 minutes' drive to the seaside.
We are a large team of 14 vets, including surgical and medical certificate holders, while others are currently undergoing their various certificate programmes in cardiology and medicine. Our nursing team is one of our assets, with many schedule 3 and imaging trained, and lots with postgraduate certificates. In addition, we have 1 Hydrotherapist, 1 Physiotherapist, and 12 Client Care Advisers.
We have state-of-the-art purpose-built facilities, including a CT scanner, and have recently expanded our services to offer MRI, Hydrotherapy, and Physiotherapy rehabilitation.
In addition to gold standard inpatient care, we provide first opinion small animal services as well as outpatient services for emergency and critical care, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, CT/MRI imaging, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, and laser therapy.
Due to this expansion, we are looking for someone with strong clinical experience with a surgical bias who loves working in a thriving, vibrant, forward-thinking environment and aspires to high standards of clinical excellence. An interest in laparoscopic surgery is beneficial but not essential.
The candidate must be a competent surgeon who can perform most standard emergency procedures and manage complex medical cases.
We have a great 4-day week; 1 in 4 weekends; 40-hour rota.
We have a dedicated night team, so no OOH; however, we do have an on-call rota that equates to about 3-4 times a year, thus enabling an excellent work-life balance.
We offer an attractive salary package of up to £65,000 depending on experience, with a good supportive management structure. We actively support our vets who are interested in obtaining specialist certificates, as development is at the core of what we do. We offer a range of enhanced benefits such as subsidised private healthcare and discounts.
We are an accredited sponsor, able to issue certificates of sponsorship for tier 2 (general) visas for suitable vet applicants.
Pets just see people. They aren't biased, and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets and value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves, so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
