Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon. Plymouth, Devon. £65k DOE

You love being a vet, you care and you are good at your job. 

Long hours, production line consults, and little or no time with the patient are not what you signed up for.

You have experience but it’s not being utilised and you are frustrated, thinking about moving but worried you will get more of the same. 

What if we knew of a practice where you can work with a like-minded experienced team, a place you can get to know your patients in a friendly environment, spend time with them, and see cases through, a practice that gives value and a place where you can feel appreciated?

Luckily, we do and this one is hiring.

A modern independent practice in the pretty village of Roborough near Plymouth is recruiting for growth.

Ideally, they are looking for a vet, two years post-graduation with some surgical experience, but a person who is keen, wants to learn and gets stuck in from the start would be more valuable than experience.

Owned by a vet they offer a relaxed environment where everyone pulls together when there’s work, and relaxes when it’s time. A good sense of humour is a must, seeing the lighter side of things in a  job that can be stressful at times certainly helps.

Not many practices can boost dozens of   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews on Google but this one can. Their stellar reputation can be attributed to outstanding client communication, a transparent and reasonable pricing strategy, and delivering high-standard veterinary care.

They operate a 5-day week here. Hours 0830am -1300pm. 1400pm -  1800pm with an uninterrupted hour for lunch.  Saturday mornings only 830am – 1300pm  1:2 and No OOH’s.

You can expect an interesting caseload with plenty of opportunities to consult, discuss cases, and operate every week. 

So, what’s in it for you? Up to £65k DOE.  RCVS and VDS fees paid for.  Access to a flat if required, CPD as you need it and 28 days holiday, plus pension.

Based less than 6 miles from Plymouth with its excellent shopping and restaurants, cobbled quayside, marine aquarium, coastal paths, the Dartmoor National Park and award-winning beaches on your doorstep what's not to like?

Choosing a new practice is a big decision. You’re a good vet who cares about the patients. Most importantly, you want somewhere you can stick around. A place to help, learn and grow.

So, what’s next?

Send your CV, don’t worry if it’s not up to date.  We can’t get the whole story in a job ad so ask any questions. I’ll answer honestly, no hard sell.

Be a more relaxed fulfilled vet.
