* With a starting salary of £40,000 (FTE, DOE)
* This can be a consult only role
* This is part time for 1 or 2 days per week with 1.4 Saturdays
* Carefully managed diaries that allow you to work up your cases
* Your well-being is key, we have a garden space for you to relax in, a well-being board and 2 mental health first aiders in the team
About us:
We are an experienced 5 vet team, led by practice owner and Vet Helen. With vets from 5 to 20 years graduated, we enjoy a lot of case discussion and support is never far away. Our vets work alongside a fantastic nursing team consisting of 6 RVNs and an SVN, who are encouraged to utilise their skills as much as possible which means our days run as smoothly as possible.
One area we place particular emphasis on is team well-being. This is demonstrated in the way our diary is arranged allowing you the time to think about and thoroughly work-up cases as well as taking the ‘down-time' you need in the day. We have a beautiful garden area for the team to enjoy and an indoor colleague area for the colder days. We have a well-being board for the whole team for recognition and to organise social events and have two mental health first-aiders in the team.
We are an RCVS accredited practice and have achieved ‘Outstanding' status for ‘client service' and for ‘team and professional responsibility' from the RCVS in addition to our bronze ISFM accreditation.
The Role:
This is a part time role with our new team member ideally covering 1-2 full days but we are happy to discuss different working rota's as we understand that everyone has different hobbies and commitments. We do ask that you join our 1 in 4 Saturday rota for which our opening hours are 9am - 5pm. There are no OOHs, Sundays or bank holidays with this role.
To be successful in this role you will ideally already have some experience in practice and feel confident with basic consults and surgeries. For more experienced vets, we have the caseload to keep you entertained and CPD is very much supported and funded including if you are interested in doing a certificate. This would add to the current imaging and dermatology certificates our team are completing. All our current vets get one set surgery day a week; however, if your interest lies in medicine, we can offer a consult only role.
All sick pet consults are 30 minutes and your day will include allocated admin time giving the opportunity to focus on and work-up cases as well as meaning we can provide the excellent service to our clients that we have become known for. The only sole charge in this role would be on weekends where there would be remote ‘back-up' should you feel you wanted it.
In addition to a salary starting from £40K, we offer a very competitive package including but not limited to:
* 5.6 weeks holiday (increasing to 6.6 weeks after 2 years service)
* Birthday off
* Access to AXA healthcare Cycle to work
* Relocation package (where applicable)
* Visa sponsorship
* Paid memberships (BVA, RCVS and VDS)
* Generous CPD allowance
* Exclusive discounts across the ‘Pets' group and a wide selection of high street retailers via Our reward Hub
Our location:
Our practice is based in the City of York, a city with so much to offer. Whether you're interested in history, want to spend as much time as possible in the great outdoors or are a lover of city life, this area has something for everyone and is also just a short drive from stunning North Yorkshire coastline. York is well serviced by transport links whether travelling by train or car and easily reached from 4 international airports.
If this sounds like the opportunity for you, please contact our practice owner and Vet Helen: helen.trory@vets4pets.com. We would love you to come in, meet the team and experience our friendly, supportive culture first-hand. Our team would also be happy to have an informal chat with anyone considering this role. If you're based further afield, we would be happy to arrange a phone or video call to begin with. #J-18808-Ljbffr
