 NEWLY OR RECENTLY GRADUATED Ambulatory Equine Vet

We are expanding our 7 vet equine practice! Are you graduating this summer or have you recently graduated and aspire to be an ambulatory equine vet? Our purely ambulatory independent practice in the heart of the East Midlands is searching for a new graduate to join our team!

We have successfully supported several new graduates in the past (four of which are still at the practice). You will join a highly supportive environment with state-of-the-art mobile diagnostic equipment allowing you to develop your skills and experience.

Your role will be hugely varied with an interesting caseload (without the hassle of inpatients!), covering several Olympic and international level sport horse yards through to leisure and companion ponies, together with racing yards and some of the best hunting country in the UK.

With our established team of vets, including an Internal Medicine Certificate holder and another working towards their certificate, and our dedicated office staff, we will help to support you at the level you require. Regular breakfast meetings are held for case discussions and in-house training. Active mentoring and frequent shadowing of other vets will help to grow your confidence as you begin to head out on your own and manage your own cases.. All our vets are kitted out with a fully equipped vehicle including an ultrasound machine each; as well as having the choice of 5 wireless digital radiography machines, 3 endoscopes and a gastroscope to take out on the road. You can enjoy full clinical freedom to work up cases entirely in the field, with backup from other vets as required. Well behaved dogs are also welcome!

With a friendly and sociable team, our practice is situated in the heart of the Vale of Belvoir and within easy reach of Nottingham City Centre; we are not far from the Peak District for the hikers amongst you! Upon joining us, the successful candidate will be supplied with a vehicle, mobile phone and generous CPD allowance; RCVS, BEVA, BVA and VDS memberships.

We can also assist with finding accommodation within the local areas. You will have a gradual introduction to the out of hours rota which is shared on a 1:6/7 basis, with a day off in lieu for every weekend or bank holiday worked, alongside the normal 28 day (incl. Bank holidays) holiday allowance.
