Are you an experienced, energetic and enthusiastic farm vet? Would you enjoy living in or near the delightful city of York and being part of a thriving, independently-owned practice?
Based at Bishopton York, we are looking for a farm animal vet with a passion to integrate with the local farming community. We have a good mix of beef, dairy and sheep clients who we aim to provide with first class proactive veterinary support. The growing workload is varied from cutting edge herd and flock health planning services to seasonal ambulatory work. All the usual kit is available including Easiscan, Total Vet, Uniform Agri, DietCheck, BBSE/ Ram testing kit.
The role benefits from being part of a small, close-knit team of vets, vet techs and support staff in York and a bonded group of engaged, sociable and friendly clients who appreciate our personal and professional approach. There are also the advantages of being part of a large farm practice that has vets with numerous further qualifications (specialists, diploma holders and certificate holders) to learn from, and flexibility to pursue further career interests and developments. Close links with UK veterinary schools offer opportunities in student teaching. Growing international links include exchange partnership with Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Canada and Padova, Italy.
Through our sister company, RAFT Solutions Ltd, there is also the opportunity to get involved in on farm research projects, farmer training and residential and ambulatory advanced breeding (ET, OPU/IVF, BBSE, CASA Semen analysis lab) as well as growing consultancy in Sustainable Food Production & Precision Livestock Farming. We are fortunate to be in a TB4 area, where testing duties are mainly performed by our team of ATT Vettechs, meaning minimal testing commitment for vets. With an equally shared 1 in 4 OOH rota, weekly half day, Friday half day following weekend on call and 28 days holiday (plus bank holidays), there is plenty of opportunities to explore the historic city of York, whilst also being on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales, Wolds and Moors!
We are a founding member of XLVets group of independent practices, benefiting from the community this provides.
Package includes car, mobile phone, allowance for landline/internet and all relevant subscriptions paid, alongside generous CPD provision. Salary would be commensurate with experience.
