Veterinary Surgeon
Swayne and Partners, Bury St Edmunds
Salary up to £60,000 pro rata DOE plus benefits
Swayne and Partners, Bury St Edmunds have a fantastic opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our well-established practice. Our practice will give you access to a varied caseload with a mix of both consults and surgery. We encourage case continuity, and you will have the opportunity to work and follow up on your own cases.
Fix or flex – work life balance that works for you
Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours truly tips the scale on your work life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. Whether you need to do the school pick up, need reduced hours during school holidays or would simply like a more flexible rota pattern we can fix or flex our patterns to suit you. Typically our day Vets work varying shifts between 7am-10pm. If you are interested in Full Time we can compress your hours so you can work a four day week rather than a five day week, giving you an extra day off, alternatively you can spread your hours over five shorter days. If Part Time hours would be more suitable our team will happily discuss flexible options allowing you to get the most out of your work-life balance. We care for our inpatients and are here for emergencies 24 hours a day 7 days a week so some involvement in our weekend rota is required, usually one weekend a month or alternatively maybe weekend shifts are what you are looking for to fit in with your current lifestyle.
Find an exciting and varied caseload with Swayne and Partners
Our caseload is exciting and varied; it's not unusual to walk into one of our wards and find patients with chest drains, on multiple CRIs, managing sepsis, post spinal surgery, or awaiting CT scan results. Despite all this, we keep our roots firmly in first opinion practice; you may also find an owl recovering from surgery to repair a broken wing, kittens in for neutering from the local cat shelter, or a cat boarding for eye drops because their elderly owner can't manage by themselves.
A supportive team with a loyal client base
We are a team of 10 vets running a busy 24 hour clinic in Bury St Edmunds. We provide out of hours for the local area and have multiple certificate holders, which allows us to accept referrals in imaging, orthopaedics, cardiology and critical care. We believe in the highest quality of patient and client care, our equipment includes top-of-the-range ultrasound and X-ray machines, CT scanner, video endoscopy, ventilators, dental radiography and a purpose built practice to house it all. Even more importantly, we have an incredible nursing team with multiple post graduate qualifications and advanced nursing certificates to support our vets.
We are lucky to have a dedicated client base, many of them have been with the practice for many years. Our clients are lovely. They are dedicated to their pets, willing to invest in high quality care for them and will appreciate you and all that you do for them.
