Job Title: Veterinary Surgeon
Type: Permanent
Salary: £38,000 - £48,000 per annum

Sanctuary Personnel is seeking a motivated and compassionate veterinary surgeon to join our client's team on a permanent, full-time basis. This role involves working across two locations: Beverley and Hornsea.

About Our Client:

They are an independent veterinary practice committed to providing exceptional care to their patients and their owners. Their team comprises six vets (four with over 18 years of experience each), six registered veterinary nurses (RVNs), three student veterinary nurses (SVNs), four veterinary care assistants (VCAs), and five receptionists. Their practice has a rich history, having been established in 1948, and they pride themselves on being an integral part of the local community.

The Role:

They are looking for a veterinary surgeon who shares their dedication to high-quality patient care. The ideal candidate should have at least one year of post-graduation experience. While it is not essential to be comfortable with all procedures and surgeries independently, you should be able to neuter cats and dogs, perform dentals, and carry out common surgeries such as lump removals and stitch-ups. Experience with x-rays, ultrasounds, and lab tests (with nurse support) is also required.

Some sole charge duties are expected, typically 1-2 days per week, depending on holiday schedules. However, support from other vets at the opposite surgery is always available. Their practice owners are actively involved in clinical work and can provide additional support when needed.

What They Offer:

  • Salary: £38,000-£48,000, depending on experience and skills.
  • Accommodation: Up to 6 months provided for those relocating.
  • Professional Fees: RCVS fees covered, and membership in VDS included.
  • CPD Allowance: £1,000 per year, with potential for further support for CPD/certificates on an individual basis.
  • Work-Life Balance: Full-time rota of 4 days per week (8:30 am - 7:00 pm, with at least one day finishing at 5:00 pm, emergencies allowing) and 2 Saturday mornings (8:30 am - 12:00 noon) in five.
  • On Call: Minimal on-call duties, with OOH services handled by Vets Now. There are rarely any emergency calls or unstable inpatients requiring attention.

Location:

  • Beverley: A picturesque and bustling market town with ample green spaces and local amenities.
  • Hornsea: A charming coastal town offering beachside amenities and beautiful seaside views.

Both locations boast excellent local amenities, good transport links, numerous sports clubs, and high-quality schools.

If you are interested in joining a dedicated team in a supportive and community-focused environment, we would love to hear from you.
