As always, expansion.

The practice works with a diverse SA client base and takes referrals in Orthopaedic, Soft Tissue and
Imaging. Equipment is abundant and first class.
Each new graduate will be assigned a full time, 1 on 1 mentor for the first 6 months of employment.
The mentor will be one of our current Vets who has been graduated approximately 3 years and still
remembers how daunting a the first job in real world can seem. Mentor and Mentee will form a
symbiotic relationship sharing diary and rota. Training and support will be first class. As the New
Graduate develops the Mentor will slowly retract but still be available at any moment to help, advise
and support when required.
The growth plan for each New Grad will be carefully structured across consult room and theatre
ensuring practical skills and confidence, the most delicate of skills, is carefully nurtured.
Our graduate scheme is unique. No other practice in the UK provides such a comprehensive 1:1
support for a 6 month period. Our failure rate on New Grads over the last 5 years has been no higher
than 2% in any 12 month period. Most years we retain all.

Simply your desire to develop as a credible, first opinion, SA Vet in the way you always dreamt you
would.

Just arrive ready to learn and be supported. Really is that simple.

When we sit, late at night and the question is asked, “how did it all start”, we are hesitant to share our story. Why? Because looking back, it sounds all a little absurd. The following is mostly true. Except for the bit about cheese.

Vets 1 launched in May 2013 in a dining room, in the small village of Barton Bendish in West Norfolk. The decision to open the business was made exactly 21 days beforehand by Katharine and Simon Power and our kit list on day one consisted of a stethoscope, a half box of sharpies and a block of cheese.

Things are different now. In some ways. Our client base at launch was 100% LA. Since 2017 it has been 100% SA. Our kit list has expanded dramatically (2 stethoscopes, full box of sharpies).

We no longer work out of a dining room but instead, operate out of a beautiful 200 year old barn conversion (RVCS Tier 3 Hospital) and a beautiful converted old Bank (opened August 2020) in Kings Lynn.

Despite our sizeable work locations, each we find still has a soul. Weaved into the bricks and beams is a friendly, warm, family vibe that runs through the team and out into our community. Each location looks nothing like what you would expect but each houses what is required.

Our headcount at launch was 2. Today it is 65 and by default, we have become one of the largest independent practices in East Anglia. This makes us smile. Material things have changed but the most important things haven’t. Our commitment to protecting and nurturing a team of all job titles is paramount, and our ability to deliver on any development project within 21 days is legendary.

We will quickly arrange a Zoom following your application. If we all feel comfortable following we will invite you up to spend a minimum 48 hours with us.
