Lloyd & Cowan are excited to be working with a highly regarded veterinary practice in Blackheath, London, for a skilled and compassionate Veterinary Surgeon to join their team on a full or part-time basis.
About Them:
This practice is well-established within the local community and is known for its excellent reputation, welcoming a wide variety of cases, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and small furries.
With modern, well-equipped facilities that include digital X-ray, ultrasound, lab, and pharmacy, the practice is built to the highest industry standards. The team consists of 2 full-time vets, 1 part-time vet, 2 registered veterinary nurses, 3 student veterinary nurses, and 3 veterinary care assistants.
Blackheath is known as one of London's prettiest and most welcoming suburbs featuring, as the name would suggest, an expansive heath, Georgian properties, trendy wine bars and pavement cafes. The location offers easy access to Central London while being close to historic Greenwich and major transport hubs, including three airports. The practice is easily accessible via train, DLR, or by road, with the added benefit of free onsite parking.
Working Rota:
The practice are open to considering both full or part-time hours, (minimum 23 hours per week) across 2-4 days, plus 1 in 3 Saturdays. The role will include occasional sole charge responsibility but no out-of-hours work, ensuring a healthy work/life balance.
About you:
The practice is looking for a confident veterinary surgeon with a minimum of 3-4 years’ experience in small animal medicine and surgery. The successful candidate will be comfortable handling routine medical and surgical cases independently, while also having the drive to further develop their skills.
While there is no requirement to specialize in exotic medicine, they are seeking a vet who is comfortable with basic rabbit and rodent care. There is also a strong focus on personal and professional development, and the practice is keen to support anyone with a particular area of interest.
The practice takes great pride in the service they offer, and clients regularly provide positive feedback, describing the team as "the best vets ever" and "very helpful." Therefore, a candidate who enjoys building strong client relationships is essential.
The Benefits:
A competitive salary ranging from £45,000 to £65,000, depending on experience
Generous CPD allowance
Enhanced annual leave
Contributory pension scheme, private medical insurance, and life assurance
Paid memberships (RCVS, BSAVA, VDS)
