Are you a veterinary surgeon seeking a role that respects your need for work-life balance? Look no further. 

A part-time position is available in West London, offering the perfect blend of professional fulfilment and personal time. If full-time work is more your style, there's an option to split your week between this branch and their other branch located 5 miles away.

Your New Role Awaits!

Nestled in an old bank complete with its original vault, the Acton practice is part of the ISFM cat-friendly scheme and collaborates closely with Cats Protection Charity. This setting is ideal for vets with a special interest in feline care.

You will work alongside a senior vet at this site on Monday's and Tuesday's, handling consultations, performing routine surgeries, and triaging emergencies. You will be supported by an experienced nursing team, including RVNs, and backed by a highly knowledgeable regional manager and head vet.

This GP first opinion role includes a 1:3 branch Saturday and 1:8 hospital Sunday rotation, plus one bank holiday per year. If you prefer a full-time schedule, join the other branch  on Thursdays and Fridays, working with their exceptional senior vet, and a dedicated nursing team.

No On-Call Requirements

Their local 24 hour Veterinary Hospital provides out-of-hours support for both practices. This state-of-the-art facility offers 24-hour care, including CT, advanced ultrasound, scopes, laparoscopic equipment, and a team of specialists. Your patients will receive the best care for advanced treatments or overnight stays.

Key Responsibilities:

- Conduct thorough consultations and make evidence-based treatment recommendations.
- Perform surgeries within your competence and manage overnight care limitations.
- Prescribe and dispense medications in line with current legislation and RCVS guidance.
- Maintain accurate clinical notes and comprehensive pet histories.
- Refer cases to a GVG Hospital when necessary.
- Foster a respectful and collaborative team environment.

Prime Location

Both practices are conveniently located near an underground station, providing easy access to central and east London, as well as Heathrow Airport for those much-needed getaways.

What We Offer:

- Competitive salary band of £45,000 to £61,000 FTE, based on experience.
- 6.6 weeks of annual leave, including bank holidays (pro rata for part-time).
- Generous relocation assistance where applicable.
- Up to £2,000 CPD budget annually, plus up to 5 days' paid CPD leave (pro rata for part-time).
