Melbourne (Cannock)
Hi, my name is Lore, I'm Head Vet at Melbourne Veterinary Centre. We are currently looking for a third veterinary surgeon, full of enthusiasm, to join our team. I am open to speaking to candidates at all levels of experience.
You can expect to have a lovely client base, the most amazing team and incredibly supportive management. Any desire for further professional development is always greatly encouraged and facilitated. Since starting my job here, I have received so much support whilst working on my surgical certificate. The practice ensures we have all the equipment we could possibly need, without cutting corners when it comes to quality. This year, we invested in a brand-new lap kit. Besides our most recent purchase, we also have state-of-the-art orthopaedic equipment, endoscopes, digital X-rays, ultrasound machine, tonovet and a wide range of in-house diagnostics, including an endocrine and coag machine.
Our nursing team has recently expanded to 4 RVNs, 3 SVNs and a PCA, increasing the support we can give each other. The rest of the team consists of the 3 vets, 2 receptionists and a practice manager.
The practice is in the centre of Cannock, with onsite parking and excellent transport links. There is a Nature Reserve around the corner for lunchtime walks and next to it is a Designer Outlet, all within walking distance.
This role would require 40 hours per week over 4 days, with 1 in 3 Saturday mornings and no out of hours.
Please note: we are open to part-time applicants as well.
Standard consults are 20 minutes, with some exceptions that require longer visits.
The salary is up to £65k, depending on experience. An extensive list of benefits and rewards packages can be found below.
