The Role
Heath Vets have an excellent opportunity for a Lead Vet to join their friendly team. Every day at our practice is different, you will carry out 15-minute consults, with time to read up cases and call clients, so we don’t leave at the end of a day with a long to-do list! Due to the sole charge, we are looking for some experience in consulting, the role will also include some surgery time, but this can be altered if you prefer the medical aspect. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving excellence in customer service and clinical care whilst promoting pet wellbeing, delivering preventive services, and treating sick and injured pets.
Our working day is 9 am-7 pm with a lunch break in the middle. We use a dedicated emergency service, so we don’t do nights or weekends, (other than rota’s Saturday mornings 9 am-1 pm). We want our staff to have an excellent work/life balance, our full-time vets work a 4-day week and always get the same day off each week so this can be achieved.
The salary is up to £65,000 + benefits (subject to experience).
