Are you looking to join an experienced team?
We currently have an opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team in Basingstoke & Tadley. With the support of our Clinical Director, (Vet GDP Advisor and Feline Practice PgCert in progress), our experienced Vet, a well-established nursing team and a support team of receptionists, this is an offer for either a confident vet to practice evidence based general practice medicine (to consider developing further their carrier with a certificate) and/or would suit a newly qualified vet looking to grow their skills in a very supportive learning environment.
We are an ISFM accredited, nurse training practice. We have an excellent support team, which includes 2 Vets, (including a newly appointed Clinical Director), RVNs and a client care team who are hilarious. We also have a visiting orthopaedic / soft tissue specialist. Leadership support and development is always encouraged and supported.
Our flexible approach to rota patterns
Our flexible team would welcome both full and part-time colleagues. No out-of-hours. Work/life balance is a priority of ours therefore flexible working is absolutely considered. For example, if you are looking for part-time hours, we would look to accommodate reduced working days and flexible hours. Any other preference, i.e. consulting only, particular days, mornings, evenings – just ask – we can discuss the options.
Join a long-established practice in a great location
We are a Silver - rated Cat Friendly, long-established independent minded small animal practice with the full back-up of corporate resources. We have separate cat and dog kennels, 2 consult rooms and an ops theatre and we are well equipped with Digital X-Ray, Idexx ProCyteOne, Catalyst and Ultrasound. Tadley also has a Dental X-Ray.
We are based in a great location with excellent links to the M3/M4, (45 minutes’ drive to Heathrow and only 1 hour to the South coast), Basingstoke is also only a 40-minute train to London. In North Hampshire you'll find historic treasures reflecting the local literary and military heritage as well as lively towns, great local food and family attractions.
