VetFinders are proud to be working in partnership with this successful and respected independent practice.

 

The role:

 

The practice is currently looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon, ideally with a minimum of 3 years postgraduate experience within the UK, due to some sole charge duties required weekly via rota. All applications will be considered.

 

This is a permanent full-time opportunity  with approximately 35 hours per week available– including no more than 1 in 4 Saturday mornings only. Part time applicants would also be considered.

 

This role would be best suited for someone who enjoys first opinion practice, with an interest in both consults and soft-tissue surgery  and happy with regular sole charge weekly. Ideally someone who is looking to expand and grow and develop into a senior Veterinary Surgeon over the next few years, to further abilities, perhaps certification interest?  The  caseload is predominantly dogs and cats and the practice  sees and treats a wide variety of cases. Excellent  in-house facilities enable the practice  to work cases up to a high level.  Autonomy and clinical freedom are key in this role so that veterinary surgeons have the capacity to grow and develop particular interests.

Situated in a popular part of Scotland, Helensburgh is a short drive to beautiful locations such as the Highlands and Loch Lomond National Park, as well as easy reach of Glasgow city centre, and all that a city has to offer.

 

Being a small practice does not cramp their enthusiasm or ambition – the practice sees a huge variety of cases and will work up to a high level in–house. Equipment in the practice includes digital xray, dental xray, capnography, and video otoscope as well as all the usual kit.  The practice is happy to invest in equipment to provide the best possible care for all patients. The practice is ISFM Silver Cat Friendly accredited.

 

When asked what makes their practice stand out  – Karen said “We look after our people! Work-life balance is extremely important, as reflected in the hours. We work together, we work cases through, you are given autonomy and clinical freedom, we care and we listen and we ensure happiness at work whilst delivering an excellent client/patient service to animals in the local area.”
