Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon

Veterinary Surgeon from £42k - £60k DOE Dorchester
Why did you become a vet? To care for animals, a simple answer really.
So, what is making you feel disillusioned in your current role? The 10-minute consults, strict targets, no time to discuss cases, more and more focus on the bottom line.
This isn’t what you signed up for. You are a good vet, you want to be the best vet you can be, learn, help, and give back to the industry you love. You want to get back that energy, passion, drive, and what you love most about being a vet.
Luckily, we are working with an independent practice where 20 minute consults are standard, targets are minimal, a place where vets are given the time to work and own cases in a team setting where everybody is on the same page and they are recruiting.
