About Us
Busy, friendly practice that champions staff welfare and excellent patient care- we are hiring to expand the team and ensure we can increase the amount of rest time our nurses receive. Our main, purpose built, Haddington branch benefits from four bright and spacious consulting rooms, two theatres, digital and dental x-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy. We encourage further development and have multiple team members studying for certificates. Great transport links to Edinburgh mean that working with us allows you to enjoy beautiful countryside and the bright lights of the city. Our own OOH offering allows for optimal stabilisation, monitoring and workup of critical cases, and our OOH rota is designed to reward our team with a better work life balance, for helping us to provide round the clock care. Our other branches are all within walking distance to the sea so coastal lunchtime walks are a must!
About the Team and Culture
16 vets, 12 nurses including 2 students and 12 amazing support staff. We have the pleasure of an Ophthalmology certificate holder on the team, as well as an excellent visiting Ortho surgeon. Team working, support and open communication are top priorities, and we are looking for an individual who also champions these values.
