The Role
Here at Cogges Veterinary Surgery, we are looking for a small animal Veterinary Surgeon to join our fully staffed, experienced, and enthusiastic team.
The working day will consist of 2 x 2/2.5hr blocks of consulting sessions with dedicated admin time in the middle and at the end of your shift and one operations day a week. Our full-time Vets do 5 x 8-hour shifts, with 4:30pm finishes 3 days a week. The only sole charge is at weekends or an occasional evening when you have 2 Registered Veterinary Nurses and backup if needed. We work 1:6 weekends with a day’s TOIL the week before and after and no on-call. We would consider full or part-time applicants.
The salary for this role will be up to £60,000 depending on experience.
About Us
Cogges Veterinary Surgery is a well-established, community practice in West Oxfordshire. We are based in Witney, which is a thriving market town with easy links to Oxford and London. Our single site, small animal practice was first set up in 1993 and we joined IVC in 2019.
We have all the necessary equipment to provide a high level of clinical care including digital x-ray, dental x-ray, ultrasound and in-house Idexx machines. Our clients are some of the nicest you’ll find - many have been with the practice since its inception, and we get a really good uptake of services. Another thing that really makes us different is the number and experience of our Registered Veterinary Nurses.
We have a fantastic fully staffed team of 6 experienced Veterinary Surgeons, 9 experienced Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 Animal Nursing Assistant, and 5 receptionists - many of our team have been with us for over a decade. Our Vets have over 80 years of experience in clinical practice between us as well as ophthalmology and internal medicine certificate holders and all our team have completed the Fear Free training. We work with a local cat rescue society and neuter their strays free of charge. We are a really friendly and supportive team who help each other out and are always happy to look at a case together. We would love to find a Vet who is as passionate as we are about first opinion practice and is keen to develop their client base. There is plenty of scope for developing your own interests within the team.
Applicant Requirements
We are seeking someone with excellent communication skills and a passion for providing a caring and genuine service. You must be competent with the majority of consults and routine surgeries but there are plenty of experienced hands to help you with those complicated cases or to teach new surgeries. You will enjoy working in a team environment as case discussions and a close partnership with the nursing team are integral to our practice.
