My client is looking for a confident Vet to join their Farm Animal and Equine Team in Lancashire. Whilst both areas are required, the practice do understand that you may have a bias for one area and are happy to support your interests.
The caseload is a mix of family run dairy, pedigree beef and sheep, smallholders, and sports and leisure equine practice.
There is multiple branches across Lancashire with an experienced team, consisting of 6 farm & equine and 15 small animal vets, and someone is always on hand to discuss a tricky case or offer advice and support. There are certificate holders in surgery, medicine, pharmacology, and dentistry, and one of the vets is currently undertaking a master’s in animal behaviour.
The large animal Vets work out of a purpose built barn conversion, with on-site facilities including a large animal theatre and stables. The practice are constantly investing in high-quality portable diagnostic equipment like their mobile CR x-ray machine, battery-powered ultrasound scanners, modern video endoscopes and diagnostic equipment so that as many procedures as possible can be carried out off-site.
The practice prioritise a good work / life balance, meaning they have worked to develop the best rota possible and continually aim to improve it. The Vets finish at 5.30pm, and the first on-call rota is just 1 in 5, with a half-day after your night on call and the Friday afternoon off following the weekend worked. Out of the 5 weekends in the rolling rota, you have 3 totally undisturbed weekends, and you can plan your life well in advance. There is always backup available when needed, with a 1 in 5 second on-call.
The benefits of this role include:
- Salary of £40,000 to £55,000, with a 4×4 vehicle, laptop and mobile provided
- 33 days holiday, including bank holidays, increasing with length of service
- Holiday buy-back scheme for those who love to travel
- CPD is encouraged with a generous allowance between £1750 and £2500/ 5-8 days a year (pro rata)
- Professional fees paid for RCVS and VDS
- Accommodation available
- Visas sponsored
- Well-behaved dogs can come to work with you
- Health Shield cash plan
- Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
- Discounted gym membership for only £22.50 a month, providing access to 4 gyms plus a further 13 leisure centres throughout Lancashire, including fun pools, and you can also receive discounts on spa treatments.
- Cycle to work scheme
- Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental leave and surrogacy pay
