Putney and Fulham are two of our popular GP clinics based in beautiful Southwest London, just over the river from each other, and the teams are looking for a part‑time vet to support them both in their day‑to‑day first opinion caseload.
About your new role!
The rota for this sole charge 3‑day week position is Mondays and Thursdays in Putney, and Fridays in Fulham. This will provide the practice, team and clients with weekly consistency on the senior vets' days off. Your rota also includes a 1:3 branch Saturday and 1:10 hospital Sunday rotation, plus 1 bank holiday per year. There are NO on‑call requirements.
Our Putney team currently includes 1 associate vet and a fantastic clinical support team who have a passion for building strong bonds with their established client base and providing exemplary patient care. We are going through a new era in Putney and are also recruiting for a senior RVN so you will have a blank page of a practice to build up as a new team. If you have a RVN friend or colleague that is also looking for a new senior opportunity, this could be an ideal package deal… and you would be eligible for a refer a friend bonus!
In Fulham you will be supported by an established support team who have trained through the practice and have a genuine bond with their clients.
As a branch vet some of your duties will include (shared with your senior RVN):
- Carry out consultations, thoroughly examining all pets presented and making management and treatment recommendations that are based on best practice and are evidence‑based and in accordance with GVG protocols.
- Perform surgery on cases as appropriate and within boundaries of personal competence and limitation of overnight care.
- Maintain, prescribe and dispense all medications in accordance with appropriate current medicines legislation and RCVS guidance.
- Record accurate and thorough clinical notes and ensure that pets’ histories are accurate, comprehensive and useful to colleagues.
- Be prepared to refer cases in a timely manner, in the first instance to a GVG Hospital, when there is an inability to undertake a case for whatever reason.
- Help to maintain a respectful and collaborative team environment.
- Work alongside your RVN to ensure branch meetings are scheduled and the clinics SOPs are being actioned.
- Oversee the consulting and surgical/diagnostic diary in compliance with company policies.
The clients at Putney and Fulham are amazing, incredibly bonded to the team and are largely insured. If you have a keen interest in diagnostic imaging, we have recently procured ultrasound facilities at Putney, while both have digital and dental x‑ray as standard.
You will be fully supported by a dedicated regional manager, and our 24‑hour Stone Lion hospital that is just a 15‑minute drive away, where you can refer more complex cases, and who also provide our OOH services. You will also have additional clinical support from our integral regional head vet Julie, who has a wealth of clinical and management knowledge to pass on.
Our Putney practice location has a true London ‘village’ atmosphere, just a short walk from the River Thames, Putney High Street, and Putney Station. The location of Fulham is again ideal, within a 7‑minute walk from Fulham Broadway station which is on the District Line, and takes you as far west as Ealing, through East London and over to Essex. In both locations you are sandwiched between some of the most picturesque and vibrant areas of London, with Battersea PowerStation home to a plethora of restaurants and shopping spots to your right, and stunning Richmond full of riverside pubs, and Richmond Park to the left.
Now let’s get to the nitty gritty, here is what we offer you:
- The salary band for this split role is £45,000 to £90,000 (FTE based on a 40 hour week) dependent on prior experience and allowing room for further growth and personal progression within the role.
