We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Vet to join our Team. We are a truly independent
small animal practice providing our own out of hours service (5 nights per week) in the beautiful and
historic town of Henley-on-Thames. You will be a member of a large team of 11 vets and 14 nurses
providing exceptional veterinary care to our loyal customer base.

Job Role: Veterinary Surgeon

• £40,000-£70,000 per annum (dependent on qualifications and experience)
• Reporting to Clinical Director
• Average 40 hours per week, with the option of working 4 or 5 days per week
• Out of Hours: maximum one night shift per week. 1 in 4 weekend shifts (part of a weekend)
• 6 weeks paid annual leave (incl Bank Holidays)

The practice:

We are a medium-sized, 100% small animal practice with plans to expand into a purpose built hospital
in the next few years. We believe that patient welfare and good case continuity leads to better
outcomes for our patients and a more fulfilled clinical team. Having our own out-of-hours service on
site, staffed by our own, dedicated team of night nurses, means that we can achieve this.

Our main surgery has 6 consulting rooms, two theatres, a dental suite, separate dog and cat
wards and isolation facilities. Ultrasound is a significant growth area for us and we have the expertise to
complete cardiac and full abdominal ultrasound examinations. We have an endoscope, a laser
machine and diathermy. We regularly invest in new equipment to make sure we stay up to date and
have the ability to provide an exceptional service. 

The role involves all aspects of small animal first opinion practice; in a normal week you will spend time
consulting, on the hospital rota (day patients and in patients) and doing surgery. You will be supported
by our team of highly experienced vets, nurses and lay staff – there is always someone available to ask
for help or to discuss a case with if required! You will also go on to our shared Out of Hours rota which
only necessitates a maximum of one night on call per week and one weekend shift every four weeks.

About You

Ideally we are looking for a vet with 2-3+ years of experience. We are looking for an enthusiastic,
motivated and sociable vet to join our ever-growing clinical team. You will want to be included in
clinical discussions, ward rounds, and conversations about how to improve and move the practice
forwards.

The practice has been situated at the same site in Henley for over 40 years.
We strongly believe that two key elements allow us to do this:-
1. Staying independent and therefore in control of all our own decisions.
2. Providing our own weekday out of hours service to ensure patients get the best quality care, and
whenever possible clients see familiar faces

Nestled between the M40 and M4 the area has great transport links to the rest of the country and we
are about 30 minutes from Heathrow airport by car if your travel aspirations lie further afield.
All in all Henley and the surrounding area is a great place to be.

This is an exciting and rewarding role with a solid and well structured team. If you're interested contact Jonathan Lewis below or call me on 01291 645 871.
