- MRCVS registration with solid experience in small animal practice
- Confidence handling a full consultation and surgical workload
- Ability to work independently and make sound clinical decisions when required
- Strong communication skills with a collaborative approach to colleagues and clients
- Motivation to continue developing clinical knowledge and introduce new skills where appropriate
Package:
- Four-day working week preferred with flexibility around the rotating day off
- 20-minute consultation appointments supporting thorough case management
- Protected one-hour lunch break built into the working day
- 1-in-3 Saturday mornings from 9am to 1pm
- 6.6 weeks of paid annual leave including bank holidays, applied pro rata
- £1,750 annual CPD allowance with additional training support
- RCVS membership, VDS cover and two further professional subscriptions funded
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental and surrogacy provisions
