Are you looking for a role where you can develop your skills and experience in a highly supportive practice?
Hampden Vets have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly team.
The Role:
This role would be ideal for someone who would like a broad mix of consulting, operating and in particular to improve their skills in delivery of hospital in-patient care.
We can support recently graduated vets or a vet looking for a change in direction.
If you have an interest in medicine, diagnostic imaging, or emergency critical care and might be thinking about working towards gaining a certificate in one of these areas it offers the opportunity to gain valuable experience in our busy hospital which provides an ample caseload. You will be fully supported throughout inpatient shifts, working alongside a more senior colleague.
The role is full-time, 40 hrs/wk over 4 days, primarily based at the hospital in Aylesbury but occasionally a consulting shift could be at one of the branches.
