Float Veterinary Surgeon – Suffolk

Our client is open to an experienced Vet, but they would also be happy to support a less-experienced candidate who wants to build up their confidence in surgery, as this will be key to the role.

Their full-time Vets work a 4-day week, covering 36 hours. However, they are amenable to part-time and flexible working, for the right candidate. They are also more than happy to consider consult-only, if preferred.

Out of hours: their vets have one duty night every fortnight which only involves being back up to the on-call nurse for any inpatient concerns – no phone calls from clients.  In a 10–12-week rotation you would have one weekend as first-duty vet, which involves working 8.30-5 on Saturday (for which you receive a day off in lieu) and 9-12 on Sunday; and one weekend as second duty vet, which involves working 9-12 on Saturday and then just being available if the first-duty vet needs a second pair of hands after that.

About The Practice

Our client has a team of 4-5 Vets and 5-6 Nurses across their branches. They have a vet with an Ophthalmology certificate, one working towards an ECC certificate and nurses working towards anaesthesia and exotics certificates.  All the practices also have very proactive and friendly support teams.
