Veterinary Surgeon – Northumberland (KH-21913)

Veterinary Surgeon – Northumberland (KH-21913)

Our client is looking for a Vet to join their small independently owned tier 2 practice based in beautiful Northumberland.

It’s a mixed practice (that is predominately small animal).  They are happy to consider a small animal only, small/equine or mixed vet. In addition to their vets they have 6 support staff forming a close knit team. The work ratio is around 85% small animal, 10% equine and 5% farm.

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).

Experience is not essential for the right candidate, new graduates will be considered and well supported. 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.

To apply for the position, please email your CV to khutchinson@glvets.com or call the Kristina on 01291 645 871.
