Currently we have 6 Veterinary Surgeons, 11 Veterinary Nurses and 2 Veterinary Care Assistants. We also have 5 Receptionists, and 4 Support Staff responsible for administration and management. The two Clinical Directors also take an active role in the management of the practice, having owned the practice prior to joining IVCEvidensia.
We have 4 certificate holders, between them holding certificates in Small Animal Surgery, Advanced Small Animal Orthopaedics, Emergency Medicine and Surgery, Diagnostic Imaging, Ophthalmology and Small Animal Medicine. We have a diploma holder in Advanced Veterinary Practice Sciences, and 3 RCVS recognised Advanced Practitioners, between them, in Emergency and Critical Care, Small Animal Surgery, Small Animal Medicine and Small Animal Ophthalmology.
The candidate will become part of our Veterinary Surgeon and Nursing teams providing veterinary care to our own clients and their pets day to day in practice and out of hours on call. Our Veterinary Nurses take an active role in clinics to support the veterinary surgeons providing holistic care. We also have nurses with certificates in behaviour and physiotherapy.
We would prefer an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who is able to work within the team and also be happy to work with a nurse on call. We would consider a graduate with less experience (and would provide dedicated backup cover). We would like someone who is a motivated GP vet and who wants to provide excellent care within our rural community. We would encourage and support someone to develop their own areas of interests within the practice, to complement our team of dedicated, skilled vets and nurses.
