Veterinary Surgeon - Sandal

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our Sandal branch. Sandal is growing and expanding following its recent renovations. We have brand new, high-end facilities including kennels/cattery, sterile ops theatre, radiography, ultrasound, dental machine and dental radiography, in-house laboratory, consultation rooms, reception, office, and kitchen. We are looking for a capable surgeon to operate roughly 4 hours a day, followed by 2-4 hours of consulting. We can build a rota to suit you, a 40-hour week usually fits into 3.5 days at Calder, but there is a lot of flex here and we can accommodate you. Whilst this is a new role and therefore initially may find there to be a lot of routine procedures there is scope to grow the surgical service into making it your own taking more exciting casework as you develop. With recent additions to our team, a new lead nurse, and a senior client care administrator we have a keen and well-motivated team raring to make this clinic one of the best with everything it has to offer! You will have the support of the larger Calder team and our wealth of clinical knowledge. Engagement is a priority at Calder, with monthly site meetings, check-in meetings with your lead vet every 2 weeks, and monthly invites to meetings for all our vets therefore you will always have your say in what matters to you. Sandal is a small, tight-knit dedicated team keen to support and welcome anyone new joining our team.
