Veterinary Surgeon

Job Description

We can tailor your hours to create the balance you are looking for whilst supporting your progression - paying up to £70,000 (FTE, DOE) 

• Join a practice that will help you unleash your potential in the heart of Altrincham, Greater Manchester, where exceptional opportunities await
• Fantastic location for commuters and allowing you that real metropolitan lifestyle 
• We are a newly extended practice which challenges the norms and promotes innovation for our colleagues and our ever-growing patient base 
• You will be supported by a clinical team with bags of experience including 2 vets holding converted Surgery Certificates 
• You are encouraged to pursue your special interests 

About us: 

We are a newly extended practice with more modernised space to treat our ever-growing base of pets. A forward thinking, close working team with a passion for pets and exceptional client service.

Here in Altrincham, we are reimagining how a practice works and putting our team at the centre of everything we do, which is reflected in our expansion plans this year. We will have 5 consultation rooms, 2 theatres and a dedicated recovery area. We run 20-minute consults as standard and protected days with no client contact to focus on your patients and yourself. 

Our full-time hours are 35 hours per week with dedicated office time and early finish or late starts available. However, as we are a growing practice, we are flexible around the hours and can accommodate compressed or part time hours as well as full time. In addition, there is no out of hours requirement, or Sundays, and only the occasional Saturday, with time off in lieu, so you truly can achieve that work/life balance.  

Our team is currently made up of 2 full time and 1 part time vets, 3 RVN’S, 1 SVN and 2 VCA’s, along with a front of house Client Care team, led by our proactive Practice Manager who champions well-being, fosters team cohesion and ensuring team success. Within the clinical team we have a Small Animal surgery Certificate holder with an interest in orthopaedics, a Vet who is due to complete a CertAVP with an interest in soft tissue and a GP Certified Vet.

About the role:

Our focus is to widen the clinical service offer, with this in mind, the role would be suitable for someone wanting to complete a certificate in a specialised area (which we are happy to fund) and who would welcome the opportunity to develop their own interest and caseload as well as supporting the Nurse team with further training. 

This is a full-time role of 35 hours per week worked across two days 9am to 7pm and 2 days 9am to 5pm, with 1:3 Saturdays. 

You ideally will have 3 years + experience and feel confident with all routine surgeries and have a passion for providing the best care possible for your clients 

• Competitive salary up to £70,000 (DOE, FTE) 
• Secure your future with a robust pension plan.
• Significant pet care discount.
• Invest in your expertise and well-being.

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
