Are you a soon to be or Recent Graduate Veterinary Surgeon of 2022/2023? Looking for a Small Animal Clinic for your first career position within a great clinic and a structured development programme?

The Team/Branch:

They have 2 full time vets, an experienced vet originally from Portugal with a medical bias, studying for his SAM certificate at the moment.  And the Branch Partner originally from France, is a former ECC intern in Tufts (USA) and a SAM certificate holder with 15 years of experience. So they really do have a wealth of experience and knowledge to help you develop. They also have a great team of friendly and caring RVN’s to support you too.

The role:

Few vets had the full range of consulting, medical and surgical skills on day one. With this clinics new programme launching in August, you’ll benefit from 3 months of one-to-one training with experienced vets. The entire programme runs for 12 months and includes 17 separate teaching modules. It will help you build trust and confidence in your own skills, take the pressure off and avoid many of the stresses that can really get you down. As you will be completing this programme alongside fellow grads, you get the opportunity to create a nice social bond from day one.

Your training will include:

  • 3 months of one-to-one training outside the normal vet rota

  • Practical wet-labs (surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology and ultrasound) and night training

  • Workshops on dermatology, cardiology, exotics, consult training, resilience, mental health and leadership

  • Online Courses in dentistry, surgery, medicine and ECC

  • You will also have a dedicated VETGDP advisor to help you settle into your role. He or she will be your first point of contact for clinical advice and pastoral care, and they’ll help make your integration into the Medivet community as smooth as possible.

The Location:

  • ​Flitwick is a nice commuter town north of London, easy reach from Luton airport via train and M1 links.

  • The clinic is busy with a varied caseload (medical and surgical), and uses Watford and Hendon Medivet 24 hour hospitals for its ICU cases and advanced imaging (MRI, CT).

Benefits Package:

  • Salary of £35,000 p.a. (a vehicle can be provided or you can select vehicle £2500)

  • 4 day working week

  • BVA, RCVS, VDS and first year of BSAVA paid for
