We are looking for a veterinary surgeon to join a friendly, independent veterinary clinic established in 1986. Dedicated to providing the highest standard of care to the public within the constraints of affordability and primary care. 

Operating from three independent sites, the clinic features a new gold standard cat-only clinic at the main site. The facilities at the main clinic allow for in-house management of most cases, minimizing the need for referrals. A supportive and efficient management team is in place at each clinic, with 38 staff members, including a 17-strong nursing team. The clinic is a teaching practice, offering excellent support, an open culture, and a strong emphasis on continuing professional development (CPD).

Requirements:

• Quality of experience is prioritized over quantity. A minimum of two years of experience in practice is expected, with the ability to manage chronic diseases.
• Further qualifications are desirable but not essential.
• Experienced in client care.
• Ability to coach and mentor others within the veterinary team.
• Surgical or medical certificate is encouraged.

Details:

• 4-day work week (8:45 am to 6:30 pm), plus one in five Saturdays (9:00 am to 12:00 pm). There is flexibility for a 3-day week on a pro-rata basis.
• Additional 1 in 5 rota for hospitalised patient care.
• Emergency work out of hours is handled by Vets Now.
• 5 weeks of holiday plus bank holidays.
• Salary starting from £52,000.
• VDS & RCVS membership fees included.
• Generous employee discount.
• Annual pay reviews based on performance.
• Company pension scheme.
• CPD allowance of £1,500 per year.

Desirable Qualities:

• Organised and efficient.
• Motivated to challenge themselves and continually improve.
• Passionate about the job and animal welfare.
• Compassionate and a strong communicator with clients.
• A team player who thrives in an open culture.
• Enjoys a well-balanced life, not just work.

Located in Swindon, a large, vibrant town with excellent schools, amenities, and easy access to the beautiful countryside, the Cotswolds, as well as cities such as Bath, Bristol, London, and Oxford. The town is 40 minutes from both Heathrow and Bristol airports, offering convenient travel options for European destinations.
