Senior Vet – Newcastle upon Tyne

Located in a part of the world where home ownership is more accessible and a higher standard of living is achievable on the salaries this practice offer. A short distance from the beautiful Northumberland countryside, the coast, and more cosmopolitan centres such as Newcastle for City pleasure, and Durham for a medieval cathedral town, we feel there is something for everyone and any occasion.

This is a Vet GPD registered practice who are working towards their RCVS Practice Standards Scheme and are a nurse training practice. All staff are supported in their professional development and succession within the practice is also a possibility if you’d like to put down roots. They have every toy you could think of (except endoscopy, Alicam is better!) and a fully comprehensive in house lab for inpatients.

THE TEAM:

This team believe in coming to work and being the best that you can be at it, then going home and having a life outside of it. They have a scope of experience in their 3.5 Vet team from recent graduate to Surgery Certificate holder, as well as a sister practice for support. They have a close relationship with our nearby referral hospital.
Weekly Vet meetings are held and they have a designated Vet Slack group to bounce ideas around with the entire Veterinary team when a snap decision needs to be made. Monthly Microsoft Teams journal club has become the beating heart of our approach to EBVM, enjoyed by clinical and non-clinical team members alike.

YOU:

An interest and ability to lead a clinical team is preferred, full leadership training (12 month course) is available if keen. We want you to enjoy working as part of a close team and take the job, but not yourself, seriously. Attitude and work ethic is of the highest importance and the rest will come, impressive swearing will go in your favour.
