Job description

Veterinary Surgeon
Carterton Vets
Salary up to £63,000 depending on experience

Due to continued growth we are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team here at Carterton Vets. You will work as a first opinion Vet providing both medical and surgical care to our patients.

This is a full-time position working 40hrs a week over 4 weekdays (Wednesday would be a non-working day) with shared Saturday mornings 08:30 to 13:00). Currently the weekend rota would be 1 in 8 Saturday mornings. There is no out-of-hours work other than inpatient care for patients which opt to stay at the practice rather than to be transferred to our OOH provider. This is shared equally between the vets.

About Us

Carterton Veterinary Surgery is a first opinion small animal practice located in West Oxfordshire. The practice opened in 2014 and joined IVC Evidensia in 2020. We are located in a purpose built spacious and light practice, a tour of which can be found on our practice website and YouTube (Carterton Veterinary Surgery Tour). The practice is located on the edge of the Cotswolds within easy reach of Oxford.

Currently we are a 2.5FTE Veterinary practice and to allow us to continue to provide a caring service to our clients we have created this new Vet position to join our expanding team as we continue to grow. We pride ourselves in our client care and communication which is in large part due to the fact that we are keen to provide continuity of care. As the pet's Vet you will for example admit the pet, perform whatever the procedure may be and discharge the pet yourself.Our current Veterinary Surgeons, two of whom are currently studying towards a postgraduate certificate, are experienced vets who will be happy to guide, assist and support you.
