Purovets are working with an emerging and proudly independent small animal practice in Essex, found just inside the M25 and less than an hour from Central London. They are looking for a confident, medically-biased veterinary surgeon to complement their long-established, close-knit team and help drive the medical side of their service forward.
You will be joining a team of 2 RVNs, 1 SVN, 1 VCA and a receptionist, led by the head vet and owner who is an accomplished orthopaedic surgeon capable of a variety of advanced procedures. The practice is very well-equipped with ultrasound, digital x-ray, dental x-ray and in-house lab, and they are currently in the process of acquiring laparoscopy kit as well. They offer a comprehensive range of services, ranging from consultations and diagnostic services such as blood tests, radiography, and ultrasonography, to specialised surgical interventions and various minor procedures.
Their goal is to deliver a spectrum of high-quality veterinary care through advanced medical procedures and personalised attention to each patient, and they are committed to delivering value through cost-effective and transparent practices and catering to the needs of both insured and uninsured pets with equal diligence and care. The long-term plan is to continue growth and expansion, before working up to hospital status and potentially moving into exciting new premises.
Acknowledging the significant concerns of burnout within the veterinary profession, they have re-invented what it means to be part of a veterinary team, prioritising the mental and emotional health of their staff. They nurture a supportive work environment where every team member's needs are addressed with utmost consideration, and they stand by the belief that the cornerstone of a successful practice is the welfare of its team. Furthermore, the full-time rota is very manageable and conducive to a good work-life balance. You will only work 4 days a week from 9am to 7pm, and there are no weekends or OOHs whatsoever!
The ideal candidate will have a strong background on the medical side, and holding a medical or imaging certificate, or actively planning to pursue one, would be ideal. You will be working closely with the owner and head vet, but there will be an occasional sole charge requirement to cover potential sickness or holiday. Confidence in working individually while under pressure will be essential. The practice aims to drive forward the medical side of their service to match the advanced surgical procedures they can offer, so you will be expected to help encourage practice progression whilst growing the practice and client base.
If this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, please do not hesitate to get in touch for a confidential chat!
