Description
We are looking for an enthusiastic GP Vet to join our friendly and experienced team in Canvey Island. This role would suit a vet who enjoys a good mix of consultations, surgery and diagnostics, and who is keen to build on their existing skills.
A great place to develop
We actively support our vets to continue learning and progressing. There is the opportunity to work towards a certificate, with support for further clinical development.
You will also have the opportunity to develop your surgical skills, including learning laparoscopic spays, alongside gaining experience with a broad range of diagnostic procedures.
Excellent facilities
Our well-established clinic has excellent facilities, including:
- Digital X-ray
- Ultrasound
- Laparoscopy
- Endoscopy
- Laser
- Separate dog, cat and exotic wards
- Sterile theatre
- Spacious consulting rooms
- Large preparation room
You will be supported by a strong and experienced team of Vets, RVNs, SVNs, VCAs and CCAs, creating a collaborative environment where you can ask questions, share knowledge and continue to develop.
A rota designed for work-life balance
We offer a 4-day working week, with a 1:6 full weekend rota.
There is also a shared responsibility for out-of-hours on-call and Bank Holiday cover, which is provided through our 24-hour practice in Southend. As this is shared across the wider network, these shifts are rarely required, giving you a good balance between providing excellent patient care and enjoying your time away from work.
Life in Canvey Island
Canvey Island offers a great balance between work and life outside the practice. There are good transport links into London, making it an accessible location for those who want to enjoy everything London has to offer without living in the city.
Closer to home, the practice is near the seawall, perfect for a walk and some fresh air after work, with the surrounding marshes and downs providing plenty of opportunities to get outdoors.
If you are looking for a practice where you can enjoy a varied GP caseload, excellent facilities, supportive colleagues and genuine opportunities to develop your clinical skills, we would love to hear from you.
