A fantastic opportunity to live and work in a beautiful part of the country at a practice that offers a bit of a difference!
Head and Head Vets is an RCVS accredited mixed practice situated in the historic market town of Helston. We have been providing outstanding care to the animals of Cornwall since the 1870’s – we’ve stood the test of time, and our practice has greatly expanded itself over the years and continues to thrive.
We’re now keen for a committed, full-time, Small Animal Vet to join our skilled team and be a part of our success.
Why this role?
Apart from the obvious attraction of a fantastic location the role offers:
- Full-time hours – 4-day week – meaning more time to enjoy your down-time
- 1:4 Saturday mornings
- No OOH – for a better work-life balance!
And …..besides the usual variety that a small animal role brings, we are also vets for the nearby Cornish Seal Sanctuary. So, an interest in marine life would be a bonus.
We actively encourage further development whether that be via a healthy CPD budget or through the certificate route. We want every member of our team to be fulfilled in their role and pursue their interests.
We are a long-established practice and local community; we have brilliant clients. Head and Head boasts fantastic facilities and equipment.
We are perfectly located for all the nature lovers among you. From the beautiful seaside strolls of Porthleven Harbour and Loe Pool, to the stunning sights of Bonython Estate Gardens and Halliggye Fougou, the Cornish great outdoors really is something to behold!
Just off the A394, our practice has easy access for commuters. There are also regular bus services to major towns and cities in Cornwall.
And our most important asset – The Team:
They say that two heads are better than one, and we’ve certainly found that to be the case! We are a vibrant bunch of like-minded individuals with a shared passion in caring for our people and animals.
The team consists of 4 vets, 4 RVNs and 2 SVNs and when we’re not busy excelling at what we do best, we enjoy many activities in our spare time from baking, walking, crafting and exploring the Cornish coast!
And the rewards?
Salary of £40,000 – £60,000 per annum, depending on experience & skills.
