Are you looking for a place where you can spread your wings, flourish and feel confident, knowing you are fully supported…

Here at Shepherds’ Vet Centre we are a friendly, independent, family-run practice in Worcestershire. Owners and vets, Graeme and Alison, are committed to providing a supportive environment. We can offer our team's expertise, a varied caseload, and the support of a dedicated mentor as you find your feet and get settled in. We will absolutely support you in following any areas of interest and developing your skills. We want this to be a practice where you can spread your wings, flourish, and feel confident to have a go, knowing we will be there to back you up.

We have a strong clinical team of 6-7 vets, 7 RVNs, 1 SVN, 1 VCA and 1 ANA, with a range of experience between 6 and 30 years, and a brilliant admin/reception team who keep everything running smoothly. Everyone is really supportive and we always try to help each other. The practice is very much part of the community.

We are proud to be one of the first UK practices to achieve dog-friendly status from the Dogs Trust/BVBA Dog-Friendly Clinic scheme, having already been a fear-free accredited practice. We also have Gold ISFM cat-friendly status, are officially rabbit-friendly with Silver RWAF status, and are an RCVS-accredited practice.

Our purpose-built premises and facilities enable us to provide a high standard of care, with separate dog and cat wards, 4 consulting rooms, digital x-ray including dental x-ray, high-quality ultrasound with Doppler, in-house lab, endoscope, optic loop, Tonovet pen, cautery, and laser therapy.

We are looking for a small animal vet with experience to join our team. Our vets work a 4-day week, with one early finish each week and a 1:4 share of the Saturday morning consults between 9 am -12.30 pm. We are also delighted to chat about other part-time work to suit you too. There are no routine OOHs with this role; however, if you are interested in emergency care, we would be happy to discuss you joining the OOHs rota if this is something you would like.

Our days are structured so two vets are consulting, one vet is operating, and one vet looks after medical cases and inpatients and helps with the ops or in prep room as needed. Everybody has designated operating days at least once or twice a week, and time is built in for the more complex cases where you might want a second pair of hands scrubbed in.

*What we are offering*

• Salary of £35,000 - £68,000 depending on experience

• 6 weeks holiday, plus bank holidays

• Generous CPD allowance, with certificates supported and funded

• Professional fees paid for RCVS, VDS and BSAVA

Skills:
- Proficient in veterinary surgical techniques
