Job search

Opportunity for an ambitious vet to join our welcoming practice on the beautiful South Coast!  Southsea Portsmouth Vets for Pets is a locally owned, busy practice with some of our colleagues having worked here for 11 years! We have a fantastic salary of up to £70,000 on offer + £2,000 welcome bonus for any direct applicant wanting to join our team!

Our team 
Our practice is independently run, by Justyn who is supported by a brilliant and growing team of 4 Vets, 3 Qualified Nurses and 2 Student Nurse, 3 Receptionists, as well as a fantastic Practice Manager. We are proud to be independently run on a local level, meaning that you will join a team that can support your individual needs while offering you a bespoke introduction to the practice, local community and caring for our patients!

The practice
We’re an RCVS accredited, standalone practice with an excellent reputation.  As you’d expect from a thriving GP practice, we have all the equipment you’ll need, as well as a brand-new ultrasound machine and direct plate radiography system. We’ve also recently invested in a K-laser to incorporate laser therapy in managing a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions. As a forward-thinking practice, we’re also planning a full refurbishment of the practice to increase the facilities available, so there couldn’t be a more exciting time to join us!

The role
Although busy with a varied caseload we try to work at a steady pace with a well-managed diary to ensure we stay organised and finish on time as much as possible. This role can be very flexible with both full time and part time considered. The full-time role will be for 39 hours per week and will include Saturday mornings 9-12pm on a 1 in 3 rota basis. The part time hours will follow a similar pattern and ideally will be for 3 days a week and 1 in 3 Saturday mornings. We also offer a day off each week, paid overtime, protected admin time and a supportive environment, along with no OOHs!

About you 
In joining our team and supporting a great community and client base, we are looking for a colleague with solid GP experience, but most of all a team player with great communication skills and someone who shares our passion for providing the highest level of veterinary care. With that in mind, we are happy to consider applications from all skills levels.

The benefits
In addition to a rewarding role in a superb location, you can also expect to receive:

• Salary up to £70,000 dependant on experience
• £2,000 welcome bonus for direct applicants paid upon successful probation period
• No OOH required
• Paid holiday of 28 days, rising to 33 days after 2 years of service
• Paid professional memberships including RCVS and VDS
• Dedicated CPD allowance and time off including funding towards certificates
• Life assurance 4 x annual salary
• Contributory pension scheme
• Sponsorship fees paid
• Cycle to work scheme
• Colleague reward hub – exclusive offers and discounts online and on the high street, including 20% off at Pets at Home, Vets4Pets and the Groom Room
