Veterinary Surgeon – Cornwall

The practice closes at 6pm! Most nights you’ll be able to leave at 5.30pm as the duty vet starts at 5.15pm to help close up and take over any inpatient care.

They’ll make sure you have plenty of time to catch up on admin and make phone calls, with blocks of time reserved in the day’s diary.

Additionally, they provide their own out-of-hours care, and it is arranged in 10-week blocks. You have 8 weeks with absolutely no duties. During your on-call week, you are also not required to work in the practice during the day and you’ll also have the whole of Wednesday off.

The weekend rota takes place over 2 consecutive weeks. On the first weekend you will just have Saturday morning consults, then you’ll be off until 6am Sunday when you’ll be on-call until Monday at 8.30am, work until 1pm and then you’ll be off until Wednesday.

The second week you will consult on Saturday morning, then be on-call until 6am Sunday, plus you’ll get the following Wednesday off.
