Small Animal Vet – Independent practice – Full Time or Part Time opportunity

Cotswolds and North Wiltshire – based Malmesbury

We have an opportunity for a colleague with a minimum of two years’ experience to join our existing small animal team of 19 vets. We are part of the proudly independent George Veterinary Group with a Veterinary Hospital in Malmesbury, the oldest Borough in England and, gateway to the southern end of the Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We also have three local branches in Nailsworth, Royal Wootton Bassett and Tetbury.

In a stimulating and supportive working environment, we  encourage clinical freedom and case continuity, helping us deliver a high standard of care. Support is always available from our friendly and approachable team of vets which includes certificate holders and others working towards the qualification, as well as visiting specialists.

We value the care our colleagues bring to both our patients and that they show each other. We offer  a 4-day week and 1:15 OOH rota, and place a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Salary up to £70k depending on qualifications and experience.

As a hospital, we have all the equipment you would expect. You will have access to 5 days and £1750 CPD allowance (FTE) and RCVS and BSAVA memberships paid. With our own Support and Development Manager, there are also opportunities for in-house non-clinical training to support your clinical CPD.

We are VetGDP accredited by the RCVS and recruit two  new graduates annually onto our new graduate programme. Our superb nurse and administration team includes our own dedicated night nurses, who all ensure high professional standards of care and support. In fact, we have just been assessed as “Outstanding” in In-patient Service in a recent RCVS PSS Awards Assessment.

Our “George Forum” meets regularly with representation from each veterinary department in the Group to give feedback and bring new ideas helping to guide the direction of the practice and improve our working environment and processes. Some of the more recent improvements driven by the forum have been an enhanced maternity pay package, additional childcare support, and top-up support for those meeting jury service requirements.

There are plenty of opportunities to socialise across all departments, either through smaller events like netball, book club, craft club or otherwise charitable endeavours- this summer we’ve raised over £6,000 with a bike ride and also took part in the Malmesbury Carnival procession. Our summer BBQ and Christmas party are always great fun and well attended.

We have a Sustainability group which proudly achieved silver accreditation from Investors in the Environment in 2022 and 2023 – check out our sustainability page on the website.  In our recent RCVS PSS Awards Assessment, we also achieved “Outstanding” for Environmental Sustainability.
