Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon

Nurture Vets are Recruiting!

Who Are We?

Nurture Pet Health is an independent, well-established vet practice based in the beautiful city of Wells in Somerset (yes, think Hot Fuzz!). We are proud to have an RCVS Tier 3 Hospital practice with an amazing client base and a dedicated and passionate team, along with our satellite clinic in Weston-super-Mare. We are Dog Friendly, Cat Friendly (Gold) and Rabbit Friendly (Silver), we have Zero Pain Philosophy accreditation and are also an Educational Partner Practice working with the University of Bristol, training the next generation of vets. We are passionate about providing exceptional care to pets, their people and our team.

What are we looking for?

Are you a vet with good clinical and surgical experience, who has done your first year or two in practice and is now looking for your next opportunity? Perhaps you’re looking for a supportive hospital practice where you can carve out your own niche, while continuing to develop and grow your skills. If you have confidence, a positive outlook, and enjoy working in a close-knit team, we would love to hear from you.

What can we offer?

Our standard 4 day working week will hold a mixture of consults and ops days, which can be tailored to complement your preferences. Standard appointments are twenty minutes long, with double slots booked out for complex cases, second opinions and euthanasia's. Admin time is booked out for phone calls, lab reports etc and you get an hour's lunch. You can expect great support from a fabulous, experienced nursing team, a happy bunch of receptionists, and a highly capable Practice Manager.

The finer details...

Our working day is 8.30-6pm (last appointment is at 5.20pm), and the successful candidate will be expected to take an equal share of the on-call rota for weeknights and weekends (currently 1 in 6, working the Saturday until 4pm and having the following Monday off in lieu). We have night nurses on site at Nurture Wells 24/7 for inpatient care, and there is a private, recently refurbished flat on site for vets to use if needed. The role will also involve some day shifts at our 'satellite' practice in Weston-super-Mare (which we run as a stand-alone clinic with its own theatre, lab, imaging, dental suite and laparoscopic equipment, we just don't hospitalise pets there for overnight or ongoing care).

Salary from £40,000 - £60,000 DoE, benefits include 5 weeks holiday (plus your birthday day as an additional day off), sick pay, discounted pet-care, and lots of cake, biscuits and out-of-work social events! Please see our website and our Facebook and Instagram accounts for more information.
