If you are looking for an exciting new role and the opportunity to grow your career, then we have the perfect role for you here at Hinckley Vets4Pets!
About you and the role:
This is an ideal role for a vet who is either ready to take the next step in their career into a lead role, or who are already in a similar position and are wanting a new challenge and to gain more experience.
If experienced, you will ideally be confident with all routine surgical and medical cases; an interest in orthopaedics would be advantageous but is not essential. We have a high exotics caseload, so ideally, we are looking for a Head Vet who has strong exotics experience. You should be keen to take on a supportive role and demonstrate key skills including building strong relationships with clients, patients, and the wider team. You will manage a team of 5 vets, supporting the vets clinically and managing the team in the daily running of the practice. People management experience is advantageous.
This is a full-time position, 40 hours per week, on a rota basis, and there are no out-of-hours duties.

You will be working alongside Partners Nicola Gray and Ignacio Martinez Robles and a friendly team of 5 Vets, 5 Nurses, two student nurses, and 2 Animal Care Assistants.
We are based inside a busy Pets at Home store in the centre of town, offering free onsite parking, a train station within a couple of minutes' walk, easy access to the M1, and just 40 minutes from both East Midlands Airport and Birmingham Airport.
We are a small animal practice with a high caseload of exotics. The practice is modern and spacious with state-of-the-art equipment including digital X-ray, in-house laboratory, ultrasound, and multi-parameter monitoring.

* Bank holiday rota is shared equally 3/4 per year
