We are hiring. Please share. Veterinary Surgeon

We are hiring. Please share.

Veterinary Surgeon – Small Animal – Kings Lynn

We are looking to appoint an additional, full time Veterinary Surgeon into our new Kings Lynn practice.

We are a baby business that opened on the 1st August this year. Privately owned and sister company to the Vets 1 Group that launched in 2013 which is located near to Downham Market. We are close sisters that confide in each other, support and cover each other’s backs. It’s good to have sisters.

Our premises are unique. Take everything you know about how a vets practice should look, then start imaging the opposite. We believe we have created something beautiful. The creative design element hasn’t though, been at the sacrifice of practicality. We have four consult rooms, two theatres, separate dental theatre with dental X ray. Full spacious lab. Large x-ray room (CR) with four-way floating table, large prep area, isolation unit, secure dog walk out area, spacious and separate dog and cat wards, team break room and private car parking in abundance.

You will be joining a small, focused and supportive team at an exciting time. Your voice will always have ears willing to listen and your ideas and input will be valued. When days are rubbish, you will find pizza arrives and our coffee is truly first class.

We need an experienced set of hands. Your consult room skills should be first class and your surgical skill set should tick a minimum of all routine surgeries.

Working a 5 day week. No OOH. Uncapped CPD. Supportive of GpC and PgC studies. Full private healthcare from day one.

Want to know more, then in first instance please send CV and covering letter to Sophie Bush, Lead Vet & Partner

Seven months ago at the start of the Covid story,

Seven months ago at the start of the Covid story, we split our team into two, socially distanced work groups. As spring became late summer and the smell of baby squirrel could be smelt on the breeze heralding the arrival of Autumn, we split into three with the opening of our Kings Lynn practice.

It has been lonely being apart from each other. At times it has truly sucked. We have lost some friends along the way and we will miss their faces. Looking back, our troubles are nothing compared to that faced by others. We have so much to be thankful for.

We have though, reached a point where we need to make some longer term plans and put a structure into place to protect our sanity our souls and Dave the Poodle that lives on Clackclose in Downham.

As of the 1st October, we will be merging our team in Crimplesham back into a single work group.

This increases the volume of daily appointments, volume of theatre time available and it will speed and ease every aspect of our business for you.

Since March we have consulted and operated right through a weekend. This will continue with both routine surgery and routine appointments available at no additional cost or premium.

You want a booster at 4pm on a Sunday? Sure, we can do that.

Want to have Malcolm’s little man cherries removed on a Saturday morning because he keeps humping your favourite cushion? Yep, we can do that as well.

We are now hiring additional Vets for Kings Lynn, but currently over a weekend and a night all calls are diverted down to the Crimplesham main hub. At points during each week you will find guest appearances from all other Crimplesham family members into our Hardwick base and please remember you can dip into each location whenever you need for whatever you need without having to formally register.

The Covid story is sadly, far from over and so for now, patients come in, owners still stay outside. We have erected additional flood lighting in preparation for winter and will do our best to minimise disruption and make your visit to each location as stress free and more importantly as safe as we possibly can.

Experienced RVN.

Want a new adventure? Want to join us at the beginning of our journey in a new groovy town?

First class salary. Superb work environment. No OOH. Full private healthcare from day one with cover for your children (if required). This is a full time time, Monday to Friday position.

Please email cover letter and CV to Hannah Barry, Nurse Manager:

*** We Are Hiring - Registered Veterinary Nurse x

*** We Are Hiring - Registered Veterinary Nurse x 2

Since March this year we have worked as a socially distanced team and have carefully navigated our way through the chaos and at times, sadness.

We are now on the cusp of bringing the whole team back together as a single unit. We have made considerable physical changes to our hospital to minimise risk and we will continue to monitor both the local and national Covid situation, making further changes when required and putting team and community welfare above any other consideration.

Business levels now exceed the start of the Covid story. We are providing the full scope of services we have always provided but are doing so in a way that is far from traditional. We now find ourselves needing to bolster the size of our Nurse function.

You will be joining a team of 15 nurses split over both our Crimplesham Hospital and newly opened Kings Lynn Practice. We are a busy practice with two theatres in each location, separate dental theatre, first class equipment including CT, DR X Ray, Dental X Ray, Scopes and comprehensive lab. Our wards are spacious and well designed. You will have the chance to work throughout the business in theatre, on wards and delivering consultations. We run our own OOH and every nurse plays an active part on rota.

In return for bringing your polished nursing skill set into our business you will receive a competitive salary, overtime payments, full private health care from day one of employment and nurturing and caring management that will support you in any further learning and development that you wish to undertake.

We would consider applications from final year SVN.

In the first instance, please email CV and covering letter to
Lisa Macpherson, Lead Nurse.

Here we see Finn, taking Audrey for a wee.

Once Audrey has had her wee, Finn will have his poo and then they will pop back inside our practice in Kings Lynn and carry on working (both Audrey and Finn are Vets 1 team members).

Nothing is worse than needing a wee (or a poo) and not having anywhere convenient to go. I remember one such personal incident a few years back in the centre of Times Square in New York. It ended badly.

When we started planning and designing our new Kings Lynn location (on the Hardwick) we knew we had to create a safe, fully fenced walk out area so visiting patients had somewhere natural to relieve themselves. It’s a dignity thing.

It has always confused me why so few vets lack this most basic of necessities. Can you imagine if the QE hospital had been built without toilets? There would be uproar !

At Vets 1 we of course do big. But we also know the small things matter more.

Please all join me we in welcoming Veterinary Surgeon, Laura Weston, into the Vets 1 team.

Laura graduated out of Cambridge. Now lives in Swaffham and will be primarily based in our Downham Market hospital but with occasional appearances in Kings Lynn.

Laura has appeared in our practice on and off for the last few years but is now a permanent feature bringing our Vet numbers up to 11.

If you pass her in the car park, beam a smile from behind your mask and wave (from a safe distance).

There is always a plan B !

The dodgy metal barriers have gone, a secure post and rail fence has magically appeared and we have now been able to reinstate our banners to create indoor reception (outside).

We miss you inside. We miss catching up, hearing the gossip, moaning about the weather, chatting total and utter (I wanted to say bollocks here but wasn’t allowed) until the cows come home. I guess me miss; being properly human.

Last month we registered 356 new patients and I am conscious that many of the patient owners don’t really know us. We will fix that. One day. But not today.

The Covid story is refusing to end and for now we need to continue protecting you, our team and the wider community.

Another weekend has arrived. We are here both days. Consulting 8.30am until 5.30pm (both days). Still charging standard consult fee rate (even at 4pm on Sunday). If you need us. Come find us.

Have a truly lovely weekend all xx
