Night Vet Surgeon – SE London

Our client is looking for a Night Veterinary surgeon with at least 2 years post-qualification with experience in ECC and a keen interest in in feline medicine. The position is medicine and in-patient management heavy but as the position is ‘sole-charge’, your surgery skills should allow you to comfortably perform non-routine emergency procedures, such as C-sections, exploratory GI surgery, etc.

You would expected to be comfortable with AFAST/TFAST/VPOCUS and if you knew your way around a cat’s abdomen, this would be great, but this part isn’t essential, and training can be provided. If you are studying towards a certificate or post-graduate qualification, the Clinic’s caseload will enhance any study or certification theory with practical exposure.

Work/life balance is ever more important in this changing world and so our client is happy to offer 7 days on 14 days off, each day shift is 13 hrs and each weekend/bank holiday shift is 14hrs.

A love of felines is essential and they want colleagues to join them who are passionate about what you do and will treat their patients, team members and owners with the same care and attention that you yourself would like to be treated.

About The Practice

• Flexible and rigid endoscopes/otoscopes
