Veterinary Surgeon

Job Description

Locally owned since 2020, we first opened in 2014 and have retained the same team since opening our doors so if you are looking to join a small, friendly practice with a great reputation in the local area, we have the role for you here at Yeovil Vets for Pets. 

About us
The practice is going from strength to strength and is an extremely successful business as well as providing a first-class service to our loyal client base, having been RCVS accredited ‘Outstanding’ for Client Care and Inpatient Services. 

The practice itself is based in a stand-alone building on a busy retail park with ample parking and popular amenities nearby. We’re also only a 5-minute walk to the train station, close to the town centre a short journey away and just 1 hour away from thriving tourist destinations such as Exeter, Bath and the coast!

The team
You’ll be joining practice owner Claire, a multi certificate holder, and working alongside an incredibly experienced and supportive vet team including David, who as well as having experience of owning his own practice and being a very experienced vet himself, is also a brilliant teacher and ready to mentor any less experienced colleagues. You’ll also be supported by Marian, a 16 year qualified vet with a passion for surgery and our wonderful team of nurses, VCA and Client Care Advisors.

Our culture and the role
Claire is a big supporter of having a great life/work balance, understanding the importance of wellbeing, and knowing that is what’s needed for the team to provide the care they do. That means this role is offered as a full or part time position, with a clear diary structure and lots of team catch ups factored into the day as well as 20-minute consults as standard. 
The practice also closes at 6pm several days a week and the weekend rota is just 1 in 3 Saturday mornings. 

About you
In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for a colleague with solid GP experience, a team player with great communication skills and someone that shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care.

• Salary up to £70,000, commensurate with experience plus relocation allowance of upto £1000*
