Job Description

Not just a career, a lifestyle.

A great opportunity exists to work as part of a 7 Vet dynamic team in our Riverbank Hospital in Newport, Isle of Wight.

Why choose Riverbank?

It’s simple, because we have a recognition culture within our team. A job well done will be rewarded with a heart felt “Thank You” along with a comprehensive financial package including BSAVA membership, twenty five days holiday plus bank holidays, private medical insurance, Veterinary Defence Society membership, Income protection insurance and Life insurance.

We offer and expect career progression within the practice and can offer it within the Group. To start with we will offer you a CPD allowance of £1500 and five paid days, but that’s not all, take a look at our Check list and compare us to your other potential employers.

Note that we have increased the CPD allowance to £1500 – not the £1175 in this file.

We think you will be impressed with our Hospital but we know you will be impressed with our staff. There are nine qualified nurses to support you who are all excellent at their job and there will always be one on site to look after you and your cases.

We have all the equipment you would expect of a hospital, and some-one who is willing to show you how to use it if need be. When was the last time you used a dental X-ray or tonopen?

When you choose Riverbank for your new career you won’t be thrown in at the deep end either. 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.

If our experienced Vets within the hospital can’t answer your technical questions we have excellent communication lines with our clinicians at Wey Referrals who 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.

The Area

The Isle of Wight is an ideal place to raise a family. Alternatively if you want to let your hair down there is great nightlife in the towns of Newport and Ryde. If you love the outdoor life the Isle of Wight is second to none, with numerous opportunities for getting out into the sea along with mile after mile of cycle paths.

We are so confident that you will love the Isle of Wight that we will arrange an expenses paid interview where you will get to see the lifestyle that accompanies this career, but before you check us out in person, browse the pictures on this website to get a feel of what is on offer - http://www.isleofwightpictures.co.uk/
