Experienced Veterinary Surgeon – Develop Your Clinical Interests At Broadstairs
Broadstairs Vets for Pets is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join our team and help shape the next stage of our practice.
Broadstairs Vets for Pets is an established, RCVS-accredited small animal practice with over 20 years of serving the local community. We are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon with around five years' experience or more, who is confident working independently and is ready for the next stage of their career.
Do you have a particular area of clinical interest that you'd like to develop further?
- Perhaps you've already developed expertise or hold a certificate in a particular area, or perhaps there's an area you've always wanted to pursue but haven't yet had the opportunity to develop.
- Whether that's soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, imaging, feline medicine, dentistry, dermatology or something completely different, we'd love to hear about it.
We want to understand what you're passionate about clinically and what you'd like your next step to look like, and explore how we can support you in taking that further within Broadstairs.
- You will have the autonomy to manage your own cases while being part of a collaborative team who enjoy sharing knowledge, discussing cases and supporting one another.
- We are looking for someone who is confident in their own clinical decision-making and can work independently, whilst also contributing their experience and interests to the wider team.
What We Can Offer
Our practice provides a varied first-opinion caseload and excellent opportunities to develop both medical and surgical skills. We have:
