The Finchley Vet, High Road, North Finchley

Salary £30000-32000 p.a. – (pro-rated)

​

​

10am-5:30pm Mon-Fri and 1:3 Sat mornings (9am-1:30pm)

​

Having read through some other job adverts, we are sad to report we have:

• NO amazingly beautiful rolling countryside to walk your dog in

• NO exciting out of hours cases (we don’t do out of hours)

• NO cake (well occasionally – but only if one of us can be arsed to make it!)

​

BUT – what we do have is the ability to treat each other with respect.  We have a great team, we support one another and we tend to get rid of clients who can’t behave themselves in a civilised manner.  We are rapidly growing first opinion (small animal) practice which means that we are always pushing to do things better for our patients, clients and staff and we are looking for someone who would like to join us and help us to do things even better.

​

We expect that you will be an RVN and although vast experience is certainly not a pre-requisite, you must be happy to learn, develop and grow.  We are a shining example of how to do customer service right and although we can always be better, we think we are rather good at it.  You must be on board with that.  That sometimes means things like putting on a happy face for new clients when things are going crazy or carving out a minute or two to let a client know that their cat is ok after his castration, even when your to do list is far from finished.

​

We hire top quality staff and then give them the tools to do a top-quality job.  We don’t like to cut corners and that means that this job isn’t going to suit everyone.

​

This full-time role would be a 40 hour week and there is a 1 in 3 Saturday morning rota.

​

Benefits:

• 6 weeks holiday (including bank holidays)

• Birthday Leave  - an additional day of holiday on or close to your birthday

• Private Medical Insurance Scheme - providing help to pay for private medical bills - amongst other related benefits - this is organised by the Practice and we will pay up to £50 per month towards premiums

• Gym membership/Exercise classes paid for (upto £20 per month) OR £150 every year towards personal sports equipment.

• Enhanced Maternity/Paternity/Adoption pay

• VDS and RCVS membership fees covered in full (paid on your behalf so you don't need to pay first and claim back later!)

• In house training and lunch and learns provided by external speakers

• £500 per annum and 1 paid CPD day towards any external training courses or talks that you want to attend

• Team Performance Bonus Scheme

• Staff Discount

• Company Pension Scheme

​

BTW – we try our hardest to ensure that all our colleagues only stay late for emergencies (and even then it is rare) and when they do so – they are paid in full for the time.

​

We would love to talk to you about the job and any of our team would be more than happy to give you the dirt on what working at the Finchley Vet is really like – if you would like a chat with me or any of the team, give me (Oli) a call on 0203 603 4441 or email me at oli@thefinchleyvet.co.uk.  Or forego the chitter chatter and send us your CV – whichever works for you.  Either way, check out this rather cringeworthy video of me giving a tour of the practice when we opened 5 years ago – it gives you a little idea of what we are about.
