Part Time Veterinary Surgeon Job – Thamesmead

Hourly rate DOE

Make a real difference, save lives and work only one weekend every three weeks

Thamesmead is a busy, fully-equipped and successful clinic. We are looking for a registered veterinary surgeon to relish the diverse caseload that ECC naturally brings and work one weekend every three weeks. The shift pattern includes Saturday 1200-1930 and Sunday 0830-1930.

Learn from experienced veterinary professionals

This role presents an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into an ECC career without committing to full time hours, with the added reassurance of another vet working alongside them (not sole charge). This is a great way to learn from our experienced veterinary professionals.

Continual career development

Vets Now have revolutionised the way emergency veterinary care is provided. Since 2001, we have grown to become the UK’s leading provider of emergency and critical care, thanks in part to the dedication and clinical excellence of our clinic teams. People are at the heart of what we do, that’s why we take a pioneering approach to people development. We have cemented our commitment to continuous development by heavily investing in CPD, ECC certification and coaching to give our staff the springboard they need to take their career to the next level.

Great Place to work

Recognising hard work is really important to us. Our employees are our greatest asset which is why we offer a first class benefits and rewards package that could include 6.6 weeks annual leave, pension contributions, professional membership, free holiday accommodation in Arran, 50% discounted staff pet care, death in service of two times annual salary, membership of employee wellbeing programme, company sick pay scheme, company maternity, paternity and adoption pay scheme and your birthday as a day off. As well as providing a competitive package of rewards and benefits, we also take pride in celebrating our successes. This includes hosting an annual awards ceremony for those who have exceeded expectations. Clinical staff are also encouraged to attend our annual ECC Congress, the largest in the UK, which features an array of internationally accredited speakers, delegates and exhibitors.
