Cherrydown Vets are a progressive, forward-thinking, premium veterinary group with an excellent reputation thanks to our 60 Vets, Nurses, Patient Care Assistants (PCA), Receptionists and support staff. We are based across three sites which include the main hospital, Basildon, and two practices in Stanford and Wickford, serving as preventative clinics.
We genuinely are like a family, celebrating and encouraging diversity through a culture that allows everyone to be themselves. It's a friendly, supportive environment with a focus on no blame with a very caring and driven team. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of our team events and support our well-being culture. Wellbeing and mental health support are a large part of our ethos, not just as a practice but as being part of Linnaeus.
We are situated in an ideal location, with the option to enjoy outdoor hobbies (many of our staff are keen horse-riders) in a picturesque location, but with perks of city living, such as Lakeside shopping centre a short distance away and great transport links into London.
We have plenty of parking on-site with easy access to public transport.
At Linnaeus, we are committed to supporting the physical and mental health of all our Associates. We have an amazing team of Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) across our practices and central support office in addition to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme which is available for everyone.
