A busy small animal surgery in Essex is seeking an enthusiastic professional to join their Out of Hours team. This role is perfect for those who thrive in a fast-paced setting and are passionate about delivering exceptional care to both pets and their owners.

Enjoy a competitive salary of up to £80,000 (not pro rata). This part-time position offers a unique working pattern of 7 nights on and 14 nights off, allowing you to balance your professional and personal life effectively. The hours are Monday to Friday from 8pm to 8:15am, and weekends from 6pm to 9am.

Strong diagnostic and medicinal skills are essential, along with excellent people skills and a flexible approach to practice. A passion for the profession and dedication to the team are crucial.

In return, the surgery offers excellent career development opportunities due to the varied case load, a contributory pension scheme, generous CPD with funding for certificates, paid memberships (RVCS, BVA, VDS), and exclusive company discounts and rewards.
