My client is looking for a Consult only Vet to join their team!

They understand that flexibility and doing what you enjoy is essential to maintaining a long and happy career. They are recruiting for a consult-only role, offering flexibility regarding hours and shift patterns. They are looking for someone who could work between 3 and 5 days per week working ideally 9AM-3PM, mornings are essential, but your rota could be flexible to suit, which can be discussed at interview. There are no weekend requirements for this role unless you want the opportunity to join their first opinion team covering their own daytime emergencies at the hospital.

Why choose them: Their team at the hospital is very focused on coaching and development and they have several vets with further training in this area. They encourage personal development (including funding certificates where desired) and are happy to spend time training their vets in hospital work, ultrasound, surgery, dentistry, or whatever interests you! They encourage a collaborative working culture where they share ideas and support each other. Several of their vets have Certificates in medicine and surgery, whilst others are currently working towards them. They enjoy supporting their new graduates and have EMS students on a regular basis enabling them to give back to the veterinary community. They have made several changes to ensure vets are able to take lunch breaks and leave on time; these include employing twilight vets, removing the last consult of the day, structuring rotas to allow for admin time and driving a culture that challenges, rather than champions, staying beyond your finish time.

About the Team and Culture: Their tier 3 RCVS-accredited hospital provides excellent facilities including digital x-ray, dental x-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy and more. They pride ourselves on clinical excellence whilst also providing a patient-appropriate, compassionate service for their clients. You would be joining a well-established team of 10 other Veterinary Surgeons, a strong, experienced nursing team and a fantastic support team. As part of the team, you will benefit from access to their referral department who offer services in Medicine, Ophthalmology, Surgery, Oncology, Orthopaedics, Imaging, Neurology and Dentistry. They also have their own dedicated and experienced OOH team providing continuity for patients.

Their Ideal Person: They are looking for someone with a passion and drive for consulting as you will see everything from sick pet emergencies as well as all your routine general practice appointments seen at their hospital. You should feel confident in dealing with routine and more complex presentations, with the ability to build client rapport to build a regular caseload. You will become part of a large, collaborative team in a hospital environment.

Because their employees matter: They recognise that their people are fundamental to the success of their business. Investing in their people, premises and processes is at the heart of what they do. In addition to a competitive base salary, you will benefit from –
