Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Veterinary Surgeon

We have a unique role for a vet who is all about surgery! Ideally, you would have either completed a Surgery Certificate or are close to completing one, to take on an orthopaedic & soft tissue surgical role, operating at both of our South West London Veterinary Hospitals. Competency in performing orthopaedic surgeries, including TPLO’s and advanced soft tissue surgery, is required and there are no weekend or OOH obligations. Our orthopaedic vet salary band is £80,000 to £100,000 (FTE) depending on experience. About The Role: We are seeking a colleague to join the hospital teams on a 4-day week basis, supporting each hospital 2 days per week with their surgical consults and surgeries. Both hospitals are RCVS accredited and are busy, expanding first-opinion centres, offering a 24-hour service to their clients, as well as referral services to the practice’s nearby branch surgeries. We are also able to offer the services of RCVS Specialists in Ophthalmology, Diagnostic Imaging, and Dermatology. One of our Veterinary Hospitals has installed a 64-slice CT scanner. Both hospitals are near fully staffed, and training is encouraged for all members of the team with many of our nurses either having completed further certificates or working towards them. We value all of our colleagues, and our forward-looking approach means we have introduced a Colleague Forum to listen to our peers’ views, as well as monthly Town Hall meetings with our board of directors, communicating real-time updates, taking polls with live Q&A’s to ensure we’re making the right, collaborative decisions for our people. All our senior managers are mental health first aid trained and we offer Wellness plans for all our new starters. You’ll Benefit From:
