Job description

Permanent Veterinary Surgeon - Barnsley, South Yorkshire

Type : Small Animal

Location : Barnsley, South Yorkshire

  • Well-equipped, neat practice - ultrasound (Mindray), X-ray (Agfa CR-30X), dental X-ray (iM3 Revolution 4DC & CR7), full in-house lab (IDEXX ProCyte One, Catalyst and Sedivue, extensive range of slides and SNAP tests), Tonovet Plus, slit lamp, platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem cell kits, and the list is steadily growing. Spacious consulting rooms with natural light.
  • No-nonsense primary care - IV fluids and post-op analgesia included in the cost of all routine procedures / IV fluids, post-op analgesia and dental radiography included in the cost of all dental procedures, etc.
  • A large number of complicated second opinions - new cases nearly every day, frequent diagnostic work-up (including imaging, organ biopsies, CSF taps, etc.), and advanced treatment options (including regenerative medicine).
  • Modern, cloud-based practice management system (integrated client chat and telemedicine, paperless consent forms, easy management of result files and diagnostic images, you can even take photos of abnormalities / post-op wounds with your phone and save them directly on the relevant visit record).
  • A modern communication system (hybrid phone system, all calls are recorded and stored indefinitely for enhanced protection of our team, in case of any disputes about treatment plans, advice, or verbal consent).

The Role : Full-time vet position in an independent, privately owned, well-managed small animal practice with a refreshing and delightful atmosphere, where old-school, personal client care meets clinical excellence and modern standards.

Duties :

  • 15-minute consults - dedicated 'on-the-day' and 'book-the-day-before' appointments, and emergency surgical slots scheduled daily, to minimise double-booking with urgent cases and emergencies.
  • Balanced surgical rota.

    • Hours : This is a full-time (or two part-time) position (40 hours per week on average).

  • Full-time - 4 / 5-day week (rota subject to discussion, opening hours 8 : 30 - 18 : 00 on weekdays).
  • 1 in 3 Saturdays (8 : 30-12 : 00) - subject to review as soon as a third vet starts.
  • No on-call / OOH - covered by Vets Now.
  • No Bank holidays (may be subject to change in the future as the practice grows).

    • Candidate : The ideal candidate will be comfortable with all areas of medicine, routine, and emergency soft tissue surgery, and exotics. However, this is not an absolute requirement, as they firmly believe that a lack of experience should not be an excuse for a lack of understanding, knowledge, and interest. They are really seeking to find someone with these latter values (and not necessarily with comprehensive hands-on experience), who is :

  • Eager to learn and improve their clinical skills.
  • Willing to quickly get up to speed with the protocols and practices of our surgery.
  • Prepared to venture beyond the limited challenges of routine appointments and surgeries.
  • Interested in getting involved in advanced procedures and second opinions on our level of confidence and efficiency.

    • Salary : The starting salary they offer for the role is £42,000-£52,000 PA DOE.

    The Package :

  • 28 days holidays per annum + Bank holidays off.
  • NEST pension with employer contribution (from the first day of employment).
  • Must be comfortable working sole charge at times (after initial induction).
  • Fully funded 3 days annual CPD (as long as it is relevant to our work in practice) with no upper limit on budget and three days paid CPD attendance time.
  • Fully funded Certificate of your choice (as long as it is relevant to our work in practice).
  • Pet peeves / special interest are encouraged, and the practice owner is happy and generous when it comes to investing in new drugs or equipment (as long as it is relevant to our work in practice).
  • Paid RCVS & VDS fees.
  • Paid full BSAVA membership.
  • Full in-house training to confidently use all our equipment.
  • Experienced team, that don't take themselves too seriously, but go out of their way to help.

    • Support : Working in a small team (1 full-time vet, 1 regular, part-time locum, 2 RVNs, 2 VCAs, 2 receptionists, and a practice manager), headed by one of the UK’s less than one hundred RCVS Advanced Practitioners in ECC comes with a number of additional and invaluable benefits. Here you can not only progress in the regular clinical areas but also :

  • Rapidly grow your confidence to deal with any kind of emergency.
  • Learn advanced techniques.
  • Pick up practical tips and tricks from 15+ years of experience.
  • Enjoy the benefits of joint surgical sessions, where you would have a helping hand with procedures with which you have limited experience (e.g. BOAS, liver lobectomy, cholecystectomy, TECA, salivary gland removal, urethrostomy).
  • Development on this level will not only help you to grow as a professional but mastering how to deal with clients and manage cases efficiently and effectively will also help minimising the impact of day-to-day practice on your mental well-being.
