Vets Now for Work-Life Balance
At Vets Now, we understand that there’s life beyond the typical 9 – 5. If you’re looking for additional hours or want to enhance your ECC skills, this weekend role in Chesterfield could be perfect for you.
The clinic has a genuinely supportive and close knit team, with a number of newer receptionists, nurses and ACAs currently settling into the practice well. The team works collaboratively and has created a welcoming environment where people support each other through busy shifts. Several team members also work across nearby clinics, including Sheffield, helping to bring additional ECC experience into the clinic.
We are currently looking for a Veterinary Surgeon interested in either of the following rota options (plus a share of bank holidays):
-
3 in 8 Friday night shifts
Current rota weeks 1, 6 and 8
18:30 – 09:00
OR
-
Every other Sunday back shift
11:00 – 21:00
We would also welcome interest from candidates looking for a 1 in 4 Sunday back shift rota as part of a 130-hour contract.
Candidates can choose to work either shift pattern individually or a combination of both, and rota arrangements can be discussed further as there is flexibility and negotiation available.
Vets Now for Team Support
