We are a practice who strive to always do the best that we can for our team, our patients, and our clients. We encourage the whole team to come forward with ideas to improve our clinical practice and working environment, so if you want to work in a collaborative and supportive environment, then we could be the practice for you. We are looking for a self-motivated Co-Clinical Director who can support current Clinical Director, Rebecca, to lead and drive the practice forward to the next level while helping the practice to continue delivering the highest level of care to our patients and clients.
We have excellent clinical facilities which include a state-of-the-art in-house lab which is supported with Zoetis Imagyst, ultrasound, digital and dental x-ray, a range of anaesthetic monitoring machines, plus fully equipped for both rigid and flexible endoscopy.
We pride ourselves in performing primarily laparoscopic ovariectomies as standard, as well as offering laparoscopic cat spays, laparoscopic cryptorchid castrates and laparoscopic liver biopsies. We can offer this service for pets 1.5kg-75 - a much bigger scope than the majority of practices. We are keen for any new vets to learn this skill.
Elands Veterinary Clinic is proud to be supported by VetPartners, who enable us to invest in the practice and in our team. Certificates are supported for those who want to go further into a particular area. Rebecca currently holds a certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice, with a medicine bias, but is also a keen surgeon.
