Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for a new opportunity? Do you have a particular love for our feline friends? If so, we have the purrrfect opportunity for you.

Established in 2007 in the lovely seaside town of Southport, our client is a feline-only practice. They are a proudly independent and family-run clinic with Gold ISFM status, and they are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join their family on a part-time basis. This role is essential to maintaining their independence and further developing the team's care for their patients.

Located on the North West coast, Southport boasts beautiful sandy beaches. There are many outdoor activities to enjoy, such as kite surfing on the beach, paddle boarding at Marine Lake, or exploring coastal paths which are ideal for walking or cycling. The city of Liverpool is just 45 minutes away with its great nightlife, theatres, and the M&S Arena. Both Liverpool and Manchester Airports are within easy reach and the popular Lake District and North Wales coast and mountains are within easy travelling distance for a day out.

You will be joining a thriving first-opinion practice with an extremely experienced, supportive, and long-standing team. The practice has a lovely, loyal client base that appreciates their commitment to providing the very best care for their feline family members. The team consists of two vets: one with a keen interest in dentistry, accepting first-opinion referrals from other local practices, and the other specialising in ultrasonography. Additionally, the clinic benefits from the services of an RCVS and European Specialist in Veterinary Cardiology, whose team visits the clinic for more complex cardiac scans.

You will also work alongside a very experienced and supportive nursing team, including a Head Nurse and a Veterinary Nurse with a Certificate in Education. Both nurses have completed their ISFM Feline Nursing certificates.

The practice takes pride in its Gold status awarded by the ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic. They are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including Idexx bloods/Sedivue, DR dental (Nomad) X-rays, large plate DR X-rays, ultrasound, VetHDO/Doppler BP, TonoVet, and more.
