Equine Clinic Supervisor
Churchfield Veterinary Centre - Equine, Hoylandswaine, Penistone, Yorkshire & The Humber
Discipline: Non-clinical Support
Full Time
Role: Equine Clinic Supervisor
Location: Churchfield Vets (Equine Unit), Sheffield
Contract: Full-Time, Permanent
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.
We are based in the glorious rolling Pennines near Penistone South Yorkshire. Not far from the busy city of Sheffield we are 5 minutes from the M1 motorway yet rural enough to enjoy the relaxation and leisure facilities on our doorstep; the Trans-Pennine trail is nearby with numerous reservoirs and hill walks to enjoy.
Churchfield Equine Clinic is a 3.5 FTE equine practice. Although we are part of a mixed brand, the equine clinic has recently rebranded, and all vets at the clinic are exclusively equine. Our facilities include six inpatient stables, a large barn and workup area, theatre and recovery box. We perform our own routine surgeries as needed, supported by experienced anaesthetists; our clinical director holds a certificate in soft tissue surgery.
The clinic has recently undergone a period of refurbishment to our lunge arena and trot up facilities as well as our barn, theatre and recovery box. We have ambitious plans to continue to upgrade the clinic further to provide our clients with the best service possible. We have grass paddocks for turnout of inpatients as required.
