The Pet Physician - A family veterinary practice

Know the medicine| Know the patient| Know the family

At The Pet Physician, we believe being a veterinarian should mean more than knowing what is written in their medical record.

It means knowing that "Bailey" refuses tablets unless they are hidden in cheese. "Mimi" 19yo domestic short hair becomes unusually quiet before she becomes clinically unwell. "Buddy" an elderly Labrador who still insists on carrying his favourite toy may be telling us something about his quality of life that a laboratory result cannot.

We are looking for a Senior Veterinarian who wants to practise this kind of medicine.

The Pet Physician is a family veterinary clinic built around continuity, familiarity and long-standing relationships with the pets and families entrusted to us.

We care for our patients through the ordinary and the unexpected. From vaccinations and wellness examinations, the first dental, an unexplained change in appetite, a complicated medical work-up, surgery, an emergency, chronic disease, and eventually to the realities of growing older.

Our philosophy mirrors the commitment expressed throughout our practice: we are here not simply to treat illness, but to know our patients' normal patterns and habits and walk alongside them throughout their lives.

THE ROLE

We are looking for an experienced veterinarian with sound clinical judgement, strong general-practice capabilities and genuine affection for relationship-based veterinary medicine.

You should enjoy medicine enough to investigate a difficult case properly, but also understand that some of the most valuable clinical information comes from simply knowing the patient.

Continuity is not merely good service. It is good medicine.

We particularly value a veterinarian who:

• enjoys developing long-standing relationships with patients and their families;
• takes ownership of cases and provides consistent follow-up;
• remembers the individual behind the medical record - their temperament, preferences, routines and quirks;
• has the patience to hear a family's observations, concerns and expectations before deciding what happens next;
• practises strong preventive and general medicine while remaining confident with more complicated medical presentations;
• is comfortable managing chronic disease longitudinally;
• possesses sound surgical skills, particularly in routine and soft-tissue surgery;
• ultrasonography skills would be a bonus;
• communicates investigations, treatment choices and prognosis clearly;
• treats veterinary nurses, colleagues, clients and patients with the same fundamental respect;

• an interest in mentoring and supporting less experienced veterinarians.

WHAT WE OFFER

Our clinic is supported by in-house IDEXX diagnostics, digital radiography and dental radiography, ultrasound, iM3 dentistry, tonometry, dedicated canine and feline hospital wards, surgical facilities, VIN access and access to visiting imaging and specialist support.

A four-day work week with 1 weekend, competitive senior-level remuneration, CPE support and genuine opportunities for continuing professional development are part of the existing employment proposition.

More importantly, you will join a practice where senior clinicians are trusted to practise medicine thoughtfully, contribute ideas and help shape how the practice continues to develop.

If this sounds like the kind of medicine you would like to practise, we would very much like to meet you. Please reach us at
