Shirley Clinic

Job Description

No OOH. Experienced Veterinary Surgeon required for our friendly sole charge clinic in Shirley. We offer a supportive working environment in a forward thinking and caring company, base salary with performance related bonus, private health cover, income protection, life assurance, BSAVA and VDS membership, 5 weeks holiday per year and 5 days fully funded CPD.

Sole Charge But Not Alone!

You won’t be thrown in the deep end! We have a comprehensive induction programme which covers everything you need to know about the job, organisation, and clinic guidelines and you will also be given your own copy of our Employee Handbook which explains our policies, procedures, benefits and codes of conduct in more detail so your introduction in to the Company will be a smooth and enjoyable one.

You will be supported by a team of experienced nurses and as will be explained at your induction, you will also be assigned a “buddy” for the first few weeks.

If the going gets tough or you want to discuss new ideas for your clinic, you can contact your Area Manager who will be happy to give you all the help and encouragement you need. You can also count on the support of our friendly Marketing, IT and Personnel Departments.

Our appraisal system is a great opportunity for you to discuss your strengths and weaknesses, concerns, training needs and aspirations for the future with your Area Manager. We are keen to discuss opportunities to progress your career in the right direction. Hard work and “going that extra mile” will earn recognition and there are plenty of incentives on offer for the right person.

Technical Help Easily at Hand

If you want to discuss a case, we have excellent communication lines between all of our sites and for more advanced cases, our clinicians at Wey Referrals are on hand to give advice and guidance over the phone and have the most difficult cases referred to them.

We also have our own dedicated diagnostics centre – Greendale Veterinary Diagnostics. Again, our Greendale staff are happy to give advice and guidance, over the phone, or discuss a problematic case in more detail.

Just download our check list which summarises everything on offer. We challenge you to compare us to the competition! Note we have just increased the CPD allowance to £1500 - not the £1175 on the check list.

I’ll Need to Relocate – What’s the Area Like?

All of our practices, except our three Cambridgeshire sites, are south of the M25 and all are near or within easy reach of beautiful coastlines or rolling countryside, giving all the scenic, historic, geographic and climatic benefits such a location brings.

Much of the coastline and countryside is unspoiled by development and many areas are designated conservation areas and areas of natural beauty. In contrast, the larger towns and cities (such as Southampton, Portsmouth, Newport, Guildford, Cambridge and Brighton) provide every modern amenity. There are plenty of old and modern attractions to suit all tastes.

So depending on the weather, your age or state of mind, there’s plenty to occupy you between surgeries. A quiet beer in a village pub; shoppingor a night of clubbing in one of the vibrant towns; a day by the beach of countryside walks – working at a Pet Doctors practice can expand more than just your working horizons.

Shirley is on the outskirts of Southampton - a vibrant, modern and exciting city.
