A small independently owned mixed practice based in beautiful Northumberland, are looking to recruit a UK registered and fully qualified veterinary surgeon. They are happy to consider a small animal only, small/equine or mixed vet. They have 6 support staff forming a close knit team. They are a tier 2 small animal practice. You will need to be motivated, extremely well organised and able to prioritise your own workload.

There may be periods of sole charge so the right candidate will need to be able to work on their own initiative and be proactive, support will be provided until the successful candidate is up to speed.

The rota is over 5 weeks with one weekend in five on call (Friday night through to Monday am), plus 1 night per week however the sweetener is that you only work a 4 day week (for a full time position), part time is negotiable. Work includes 1 bank holiday per year and the 2 Christmas weeks are shared equally alongside another local independent practice in an out of hours rota share.

You will be entitled to 6 weeks holiday per year (pro rata for part timers/part year). You may be required to cover some holidays however they are very well organised and these are notified well in advance. During these periods you may work extra/extra on call. You will be paid when covering extras for holidays – rates will be negotiated as part of the contract.

Experience is not essential for the right candidate, new graduates will be considered and well supported, we are enrolled on the Vet GDP programme. Salary will be dependent on experience. It would be useful should the successful candidate live within a 5 mile radius of the practice as a non taxable housing allowance could be offered as part of the package, however a reasonable 20 minute commute would be acceptable for out of hours.

The position is permanent with a 12 month probationary period. Self employed persons may be considered.
