Veterinary Surgeon

• The practice is passionate about supporting charities working with the local RSPCA to provide veterinary care
• Martin, the practice owner is driven to support all his colleagues organising special events such as well-being retreats, the Winter ball and walking club!

The practice is located in the rapidly expanding yet traditional seaside town of Thornton-Cleveleys, just a few miles from Blackpool and offers great access to much of the northwest of England. We also have a second site inside a Pets at Home store in the edge of Blackpool.

The team and practice play an active role in the community and customer feedback is excellent. We pride ourselves in being more than 'just a vets'.

Consults are 20 minutes as standard, ensuring they provide a comprehensive overview and allows for more rapid case workups and/or more involved case discussion with clients.

Full time work is spread over 4 days with a set day off each week. Weekends consist of a share of a 1:7 Rota with a long weekend the following week. There is no ooh but occasional stable inpatients may be kept overnight.

The bright, air-conditioned surgery is purpose built to industry leading standards and has state of the art equipment including dedicated operating theatre, digital X-ray/in-house laboratory/ultrasound and dentistry facilities.

Personal development is actively encouraged and the practice is willing to invest in you and equipment to develop any specialist areas of interest. Full support is available for those who have recently graduated or need help with confidence in developing their skills.

Salary is dependent on experience. As part of the pets at home group we also have access to an excellent package and great benefits that include; competitive salary and exclusive company discounts and rewards - including 20% off at Pets at Home and the Vet Group.

Along with this you will also get:

• We are looking for the right people so the role can suit anyone as we can evolve it around you!
• We are also looking to expand our in-house service. So an experienced practitioner who either has a certificate in a specific field or would like to work towards this would be very much welcome and supported.
• We have a team of vets who have been with us for many years and so can support you should you be looking to gain confidence and experience in a positive workspace.
• We have experience supporting new and recent graduates as well as international applicants.
