Veterinary Surgeon

Are you looking for a truly flexible role? Do you have a way of working that you know would suit you best but are afraid to ask prospective employers?, Our growing practice in Greasby is seeking a veterinary surgeon who believes high quality general practice is the future of the industry and is keen to help us build on our excellent local reputation as a friendly, honest & caring team.

Greasby is a residential town on the Wirral peninsula, under 30 minutes from Liverpool and Chester City Centres and under an hour from the beauty of North Wales. Whatever you do in your spare time you'll likely find it close by.

The practice itself is in the middle of Greasby village. As a standalone unit we have our own front door and have set our opening hours to enhance our team's wellbeing. We do not open on Sundays and our Saturdays are 9am-1pm.

The team are made up of 2 Vets (both 20 + years qualified), 1 HVN, 3 RVNs, 2 SVN's, 1 VCA and a practice manager (19 years' experience). Our nursing team are central to our operations and as a training practice we encourage delegation of suitable tasks to the nurses. We are committed to a no-blame culture and as a RCVS accredited practice we engage in regular clinical governance meetings to ensure we are always learning and improving.

Our feeling on CPD is to support our team as best we can to reach their career goals. If you have a special interest you wish to develop we would want to hear about it.

Pets just see people. They aren't biased and they don't discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don't perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!

We are flexible as to whether you would like to work full or part time. We can accommodate anything from 1-5 days per week, and we encourage a 4-day week for full time hours.

Ideally our new vet would slot into the Saturday morning 1:3 rota but it is not a deal breaker. As this advert says at the outset, we are interested in anyone who can share our ethos and if you happen to need Saturdays off for something important in your life don't let that put you off applying.

In practice we run 15-minute consults and tend toward a dynamic system whereby the right clients with the right pets are booked at the right time. This comes down to the team knowing our clients well. We are at heart a local family practice built on word-of-mouth reputation.

In addition to flexibility around your working rota, we also offer a competitive salary which is dependent on your level of experience, no OOH, VDS & RCVS memberships paid and access to the company reward hub which is home to many high street retailers and the associated discounts.
