Roving Vet (NO WEEKENDS)
Calder Vets ( Wakefield, West Yorkshire)
Salary £55-60k per annum (depending on experience)
Vets is a high quality primary care and referral practice with 11 clinics across South and West Yorkshire, including a 24/7 Tier 3 Hospital. We are proud to provide our own 24-hour on-site emergency care through our dedicated ECC night team. We offer a full range of primary care services, such as consultations, preventative healthcare, vaccinations, routine and non-routine surgery, dentistry and imaging (x-ray, ultrasound). We are also able to offer some advanced services such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries, cardiology, ophthalmology and CT, and we have our own rehabilitation service with physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and laser therapy.
We have a fantastic team across all of our sites, and we all support each other. We often discuss clinical cases and get involved in social events. We have a large vet team and are supported by fantastic nursing and front of house teams. Many of our vets are working towards certificates in surgery, imaging, dermatology, cardiology and ophthalmology.
This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the flexibility of locum life with the benefits of being an employee.
We are looking for an adaptable, experienced Vet who loves the variety of Primary Care Practices to come and work amongst our clinics to cover holidays, with some time at the main hospital to develop clinical interests. The position requires someone happy to work sole charge, as well as being comfortable in a hospital environment, who is confident and enjoys all elements of their work to include consulting, routine surgery and emergency case management. You would be provided with a rota at least 6 weeks in advance and you would work an average of 40hours per week over the year with 6.6 weeks holiday and no weekends or OOH.
Your role and responsibilities
This is a fantastic role for an all-around GP Vet Surgeon looking for a rewarding position. It would also suit someone who wants to explore the practices at Calder before taking a fixed role.
Our ethos is clinical excellence and we try and live by our core values. Client and patient care are at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to be Cat-Friendly in many of our clinics. We run on 15-minute consults as a minimum.
