This is an established, independent practice in Devon, interested in finding the vets that share their values, passion and commitment.

OOH:

It’s a cliche but we are proudly independent. This is very important to us and increasingly our clients, hence our need for recruitment. We do our own out of hours work, this means we can offer the best service and continuity of care to our clients and their pets. This is run on a 1:12 (or better) rota with generous time off following duties.
We want the pets and owners that come through our doors to be treated as we would treat our own animals. We are not about a production line of consults; we know there is a lot more job satisfaction when there is time and opportunity to build rapport and relationships.

Clinical interests and passion:

Whatever your passion, we find developing them benefits all and we are keen to support them. We have various certificate holders who have developed their interests and are happy to share their experience. We have excellent equipment that we put to good use.
Something that strikes anyone that walks through the door is the collaborative nature of our team, we discuss our cases, we pool our ideas, and argue pros and cons of treatments. Ultimately, we find it makes for a great environment, a growth mindset and better outcomes. We can support a new graduate and several members of our staff are VetGDP advisors.

We are particularly keen for someone that has a surgical interest and wanting to develop laparoscopic surgery and orthopaedics.

Culture:

To quote the directors ‘we want people to enjoy working here’. People matter, this is a practice that has a family feel to it and we intend to keep it that way. Happier, valued staff look after pets and their owners better. We are committed to our staff and in turn we hope to find the vets who share our ethos and commitment in providing the best care for our clients and their pets.

Location:
We are perfectly situated as a gateway to the South West and the benefits it offers; beautiful countryside with moors, coast path and beaches, while still accessible to airports and the rest of the country. We are a sociable lot and enjoy catching up outside work whether to the pub, rugby, or dog walk!
