We have a new opportunity for a vet looking for working hours to fit round other commitments.

We are a six-branch town and country group in beautiful Dorset, with a long history and fantastic local reputation. We pride ourselves on our collaborative and supportive atmosphere, led by our Advanced Practitioners and approachable team leaders. We have the loveliest clients, and every day brings something new!

We have vets with interests in medicine, cardiology, oncology, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, shelter medicine and forensic work, as well as hosting the Petfit rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre at our Bournemouth branch. We would encourage and support you to find your niche with our further qualification CPD program.

We believe recruiting the right candidate is more important than just filling the vacancy and would look to tailor the role to fit both your professional and personal strengths and aspirations, how ever many hours you are able to offer.

There is no on-call, as VetsNow are hosted at our Wimborne Tier 3 Hospital. We have equally shared Saturday mornings, on a 1 in 4 rota.

The skill set required for this role includes:

• Aspiring to high standards of clinical and client care
• Team player, respectful to colleagues and our no blame culture
• Confidence working some days sole charge in a small branch
• Surgical proficiency and confidence can be accommodated but not required

Testimonials from some of our current vets:

“Lynwood has encouraged me throughout my journey as a veterinary surgeon offering the right balance between freedom of my own cases as well as the guidance and support from the rest of the team.  There is the opportunity for growth and progress in your area of interest.” – J, vet and Lynwood team member for 20 years

“I started working for Lynwood about 30 years ago and never left! This practice offers to right mix of interesting work, ethics and client/patient care. Lynwood is open to new ways of working, for instance in a more sustainable way, which is important to me.” – M, part time vet

“The reasons why I like working at Lynwood…Friendly and skilled team in a beautiful part of the UK, with a nice client base.” – E, Lynwood vet for 13 years

“The best thing about Lynwood for me is working with a great team of people, where everyone is keen to help out & share their knowledge. It has been possible to develop my own areas of clinical interest, including studying for a certificate, whilst working in a friendly supportive environment.” – C, Full time Lynwood vet for 10 years

“Being part of Lynwood allows me to work to my own guiding principles of veterinary medicine and helps me to provide the very best patient and client care. I have been able to develop skills in my areas of interest and challenge myself where I have been less confident. Under the umbrella of the Vet Partners group, I feel supported clinically and personally, with easy access to so many helpful resources. I have been able to adapt my working pattern to the changing demands of family life without feeling compromised in either area. I have always felt that I am part of a truly supportive and progressive practice. I feel very lucky to be here!” – L, Lynwood vet for 6 years
