An exciting management opportunity has arisen for a Senior Veterinary Surgeon to join the team at Birchwood Veterinary Surgery following the departure of our current Clinical Director at Birchwood combined with Senior Vet input at our Beech House site, which provides OOH and inpatient care for 7 branches, working with the Leadership team of both sites.

The role will require 2-3 days per week based at Birchwood working closely with the onsite Head Nurse with added support from one of our Practice Co-ordinators, to help to develop this branch. Additionally, there will be the opportunity to work 1-2 days (depending on working patterns) at Birchwood's sister practice Beech House, also in Warrington as one of the Senior Vets giving you access to a different case load and equipment for your cases, shared knowledge of working with other vets in the wider team and supporting the Beech House management. Beech House is looking to transition to RCVS Hospital status within the next 12 months.

The role is working either a 4 day or 4.5-day week (9 days over a 2-week period) plus taking part in a weekend rota at our Beech House branch. The rota involves working a 1:4 Saturday, 1:12 Sunday, and supporting on the bank holiday rota. In addition to a second on site vet you will work alongside newly qualified graduate so if you are a VETGDP advisor or willing to do the training that would be a great advantage.

Our busy veterinary practice is based in the middle of a local community within Birchwood Shopping Centre. We opened our doors in 2017 and since then we have gone from strength to strength.
