Full Time Equine Vet - North West Equine Vets
Fancy a change of scene? Want to find out it’s not so grim up North!
Then North West Equine Vets would like to hear from you!
NWEV is seeking a new permanent member of staff to replace a colleague who is leaving to undertake an internship.
Operating from three clinics and covering a beautiful area including the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks NWEV is a proudly independent 100% equine practice with 15 full/part time vets and 3 RVN’s. Our clients range from professional National Hunt trainers, to weekend leisure riders.
Our caseload is largely first opinion ambulatory, but we try very hard to work cases through to completion in-house and provide surgical facilities for routine GA procedures and enjoy the support of an external orthopaedic surgeon.
We are also proud members of XLVets; a community of independently owned practices. This enables us to collaborate with other XL practices; seeking advice from these colleagues and partaking of in-house CPD. If you are interested, XLVets also have regular group meetings which you would be welcome to attend and play a role in the future of the group.
The successful applicant would enjoy support from a dynamic and friendly team with a wide range of interest areas along with multiple Certificate holders.
All vets have access to mobile diagnostic equipment, including multiple battery DR’s, ultrasound scanners, video gastroscopy and URT endoscopy, surgical laser and, shockwave and battery dental equipment.
The ideal candidate would have 3+ years experience of equine practice and an interest/experience in stud medicine or dentistry (but this is not essential).
This post is ideally for a 4.5 day week position (whether you take off 1/2 a day a week or a full day a fortnight is up to you), taking an equal part of our 1:6 OoH Rota. There is no sole-charge as two vets are on all each weeknight/weekend.
Work vehicle, fuel card, phone, and RCVS/VDS/BEVA/BVA membership and CPD allowance included. Addition study towards Certificates encouraged and funded. 25 days holiday + Bank Holidays. Salary commensurate with experience. Accommodation is potentially available if required.
Outside of work we have hikers, beekeepers, runners, cyclists, rock climbers and plenty of riders and consider ourselves to be a friendly and welcoming bunch. With the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales on our doorstep you would have plenty of time to explore a stunning part of the country. Equally, with the good transport links of the M6 and west coast mainline you could equally be in Manchester or Edinburgh in a couple of hours.
If you are interested in our position please email richard.knight@nwev.co.uk with a copy of your CV. Alternatively, if you would like some further information or an informal chat please call Richard Knight on 07785 617127.
We are committed to equality of opportunity for all and welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds
We look forward to hearing from you.
