Salary up to £70,000 DOE (FTE)
We are a small animal GP practice based in the market town Oswestry, in Shropshire near the Welsh border. We have a branch practice 20 minutes away near Wrexham. Park Issa is a memorable practice and I put that down to the people. It is a great team who will support you clinically and personally. We appreciate how important a work life balance is and are aiming to maintain that for our colleagues by hiring and retaining staff. We use VetsNow OOH but have maintained our in-patient care, so we have a nurse onsite 24hrs.
We pride ourselves in committed client and patient care, we aim to give the best service possible. We have two operating theatres, Imaging suite with modern ultrasound and xray machines and Dental procedures room with dental x-ray. We have a large garden behind the practice often used to spend sunny lunch breaks or exercising inpatients. The vet team consists of 2 small animal clinical directors and 5 part time vets. We have certificate holders in small animal medicine, surgery and ophthalmology.
We have a broad caseload of medical and surgical cases and do our own basic orthopaedics: lateral suture and MMP cruciate repair, patella luxation and simple fractures. We have regular meetings to discuss cases and someone is always around for advice.
We are a social bunch and will often organise meal's out, quiz nights, escape rooms and much more!
