At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
Here at Leonard Brothers Vets we have an exciting new opportunity for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at the Nantwich and Wistaston branches! We are looking for an experienced Vet who is happy doing routines as well taking on more complicated procedures and cases and supporting younger members of staff.
We would also be keen for someone with an ophthalmology bias, as we've recently lost our Ophtho cert holder and have a slit lamp, tonometer and operating microscope feeling unloved. We offer an excellent balance between consults and ops, with every vet having the opportunity to do both consults and surgeries in every shift worked.
We offer 15-minute consults and insert catch-up slots in between to allow vets to catch-up if a consult runs over, to write notes, make phone calls, or to discuss cases with other vets.
As a Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload.
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you.
- We are happy to offer flexible working options working between 20-36 hours per week.
- Out-of-hours shifts are shared evenly and are limited in the evenings between 6:30 pm – 9 pm and at weekends 8 am – 5 pm.
- We have 11 vets, mostly working part time making use of the flexible rota pattern we offer, and an experienced nursing and support team.
- We have certificate holders in cardiology, medicine and ECC, with surgery and another medicine certificate being worked towards; as well as a nurse diploma holder in general anaesthesia so we can support you and develop your skills.
- Our team get together for a meal and clinical discussion every three months.
“I've been working at Leonard Brother's for 7 years after 18 months in mixed practice. Working here was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The team has always been very welcoming and friendly, management are approachable and supportive. I'm able to explore my interests, broaden my skillset and learn new things every day. The team has a diverse range of interests and skills, so there is always someone to ask for opinions on trickier cases and help during surgery. Our diary has a good mix of consulting and procedure time allowing me to work up my own cases and care for my patients in the way I would want for my own pet.” – Alex, Veterinary Surgeon
