If you would rather do a consult only role, then we have a medicine certificate holder to support you and if you wish to further your surgical skills then one of our surgeons is an advanced practitioner in small animal surgery so can help you gain the skills and cases need for a certificate.
Whatever you’re looking for, there’s a role for you at Pool Farm Vets! We also do a small amount of equine work and so if you wanted to pop out and do some horse calls in the practice vehicle then this role could be what you are looking for.
At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
Our current position is for 2 week days (10 hours) which can tip the scale on your work life balance. We know that everyone has demands and priorities outside of their career and we want to make it brilliantly easy for you to strike the right balance. On call is normally a 1 in 4 rota but our weekend on call consists of Saturday morning consultations until 12pm and then in-patient care only (if there are any), Vets Now cover the emergency workAbout the Team and Culture
The practice has been family run since 2004! We have a lovely, friendly, close-knit team of 3 receptionists, 2 Student Veterinary Nurses, 5 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 1 Veterinary Care Assistant and 5 Veterinary Surgeons.We have 3 certificate holders in the practice and so clinical work is performed to a high standard. We actively encourage CPD to continue this high standard. The team often enjoy ‘pub Friday’ which in summer re-locates to the cricket club so we can all enjoy the early evening sun. We are based in a very rural but bustling village called Betley which is best described as “chocolate box” on the Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire border. The village has brilliant train links being only 10 minutes from Crewe station which means less than 2 hours to London and 3 hours 30 minutes to Edinburgh. The nearby town of Nantwich is best known for its annual cheese show and jazz festival. We help to run a pet show (with an external judge!) at Betley show each August and we have a heavy involvement in the show each yeaHow We’ll Support You
