An exciting opportunity for a veterinarian has become available at a truly mixed practice in Scotland.
This practice is looking for an experienced veterinarian to join their friendly, sociable team who pride themselves on their teamwork and supportive environment.
This is a genuinely mixed practice with a focus on work-life balance, allowing you to enjoy the nearby mountains, sea and city. Normal working hours are between 8:45 am and 5 pm over a four-day week, with 6.6 weeks annual leave per annum.
The practice offers its own out-of-hours service. The OOH rota is 1:8 (to increase when the role is filled), with the shift times being 8:45 am to 6 pm. There are two vets on call at all times, one as the primary responder and the second as additional support if required. Vets are compensated with a four-day long weekend after every weekend on call, as well as an additional mid-rota long weekend, plus additional cash benefit per out-of-hours call.
The team have a structured rota ensuring each vet a guaranteed mix of farm, equine and small animal work, with set operating days included to allow time to work up individual cases to a high standard. The practice runs on 15-minute consults in bite-sized consulting blocks as standard. The team hold weekly clinical meetings to allow for case discussion and collaboration or just a catch-up!
