Pride Veterinary Referrals
Pride Veterinary Referrals are welcoming applications from Out of Hours (OOH) Veterinary Surgeons with a passion for Emergency & Critical Care to join their team on a 12 month FTC.
Pride Veterinary Referrals serves as the small animal referral hospital for the Scarsdale Veterinary Group, a multi-species practice with over 300 employees across 9 sites in the Midlands. Our state-of-the-art facilities include 14 consultation rooms, 7 hospital wards, 5 theatres, a full advanced imaging suite (featuring CT and MRI), 3 ultrasound rooms, interventional radiology and cardiology capabilities, an endoscopy suite, hydrotherapy pool and treadmills, and dedicated chemotherapy treatment rooms.
Working on a 3-week rota schedule you will be one of the overnight vets working alongside our Specialist Diplomate led teams caring for our Referral patients. Working directly with our team of night nurses, veterinary care assistants, and alongside our first opinion night vet, you will follow the treatment plans left by the Specialist Case Clinician for each of their patients and contact the On Call Clinician for advice or support where required.
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
How You’ll Make a Difference
As a key member of our team, you will collaborate with our exceptional and well-established Vets at Night teams, providing out-of-hours support for our specialist-led referral teams in Neurology, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Exotics, and Oncology. The out-of-hours teams are supported by experienced Nurses and Veterinary Care Assistants, averaging 33 hours per week.
