£36,000-£70,000 FTE per annum (dependent on qualifications and experience) Reporting to Clinical Director Full time Out of Hours: four/five nights shifts per month plus 1 in 4 Saturday day shifts 6 weeks paid annual leave (including Bank Holidays) Birthday leave Pro-rata overtime paid for additional hours Shift flexibility where possible Paid Professional Fees (RCVS, VDS + 1 other) BHSF Health Plan: Health cash plan which covers dental and optical treatments as well as a range of therapies and glasses, hearing aids, physio treatment etc. Bring your dog to work Company Pension Scheme (NEST) Uniform About us: We are a medium sized, 100% small animal practice. We believe that patient welfare and good case continuity leads to better outcomes for our patients and a more fulfilled clinical team. Having our own out of hours service on site, staffed by our own dedicated team of night nurses, means that we can achieve this. Our main surgery in Henley has 6 consulting rooms, two theatres, a dental suite, separate dog and cat wards and isolation facilities. Ultrasound is a significant growth area for us and we have the expertise to complete cardiac and full abdominal ultrasound examinations. We have an endoscope, a laser machine and diathermy. We regularly invest in new equipment to make sure we stay up to date and have the ability to provide an exceptional service. We have a busy in house lab processing more than 50 samples on most days. We use peripatetic visiting surgeons for our orthopaedic work, so that we keep as many cases in house as possible. About the role: The role involves all aspects of small animal first opinion practice; in a normal week you will spend time consulting, on the hospital rota (day patients and in patients) and doing surgery. You will be supported by our team of highly experienced vets, nurses and lay staff - there is always someone available to ask for help or to discuss a case with if required! You will also go on to our shared out of hours rota which only necessitates four/five nights on call per month and one Saturday day shift every four weeks. About You While experience would be an advantage we have taken a new graduate every year for the last 4 years and would be very happy to consider applications from vets at any stage of their career. More importantly we are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and sociable vet to join our ever growing clinical team. You will want to be included in clinical discussions, ward rounds, and conversations about how to improve and move the practice forwards. We're hoping to find someone who is not afraid to give their opinion, while communicating and working well within a team. We believe being proactive and conscientious will help you get as much out of a job with us as possible. It is essential you are committed to providing outstanding veterinary care to both our patients and our clients. A special interest or a certificate would be a bonus and would be encouraged. Organisational background and ethos: The practice has been situated at the same site in Henley for over 40 years. We are now a 9 vet practice with 35 members of staff working out of our main surgery in Henley and our branch surgery in Twyford. We have built the practice around the ethos of providing exceptional first opinion veterinary care to our incredibly loyal client base. We strongly believe that two key elements allow us to do this: Staying independent and therefore in control of all our own decisions. Providing our own weekday out of hours service to ensure patients get the best quality care, and whenever possible clients see familiar faces. We also have a very strong people culture and when all employees were recently asked what is the best thing about working for the practice early on everyone responded with 'The Team' or 'The People'. We are not a practice that is primarily focused on making money - instead we prioritise our patients, our customers and our people and believe the business will flow on the back of that. We are located in the beautiful town of Henley on Thames famed for its Royal Rowing Regatta and the subsequent Henley Festival. If rowing is your thing, then Henley is the place to be! We are on the edge of the Chilterns Hills where there are abundant opportunities for dog walking, running, road cycling and mountain biking. London and all its attractions are now just a 30 minute train hop away due to the new cross rail and Elizabeth line service, meaning theatres, museums and major sporting events are right on our doorstep. If food is your passion, we have amazing local restaurants and pubs to suit all pockets including some of the most famous chefs and restaurants in the UK. Nestled between the M40 and M4 the area has great transport links to the rest of the country, and we are about 30 minutes from Heathrow airport by car if your travel aspirations lie further afield. All in all, Henley and the surrounding are a great place to be.

Cardiff are seeking to build upon the success of recruiting social workers by ensuring that we have the very best principal social workers to coach and support our workers, enabling them to grow and develop. In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this. Cardiff's locality model allows social workers and support staff to work within the local communities and get to know the specific needs of the communities we support. Working in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory agencies and the 3rd sector we provide the right level of assistance to our families at the right time, empowering families to reach out to these support networks in order to reduce the long term needs of individuals and the communities they live in. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers not only the experience of working in a vibrant, and successful city but also offers easy access to the fabulous South Wales region's coastline and countryside with worldwide standing. Whether you choose to live in the city or within commuting distance, you have plenty of choice in accommodation, with excellent transport routes. For those practitioners seeking to broaden their experience working with Children and their families, Cardiff has so much to offer, through exciting opportunities to develop practice knowledge in areas that can only be found in the capital city, working with children and families from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children. Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams. Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture. There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services. About the job Cardiff Safeguarding and Children looked after teams are now based in 3 localities across the city at St Mellons in the East, Fairwater in the North and Cardiff Bay in the South enabling staff to be based within the communities that they serve. Within the team's geographical area you will support children and young people through robust assessment, outcome focused planning and effective intervention to support them in achieving positive outcomes within their families and communities. Working within a restorative practice approach, you will work in partnership with families and multi-agency colleagues in intervening to address both the presenting concerns and underlying difficulties. This is an exciting opportunity to join the service which puts the individual at the heart of our work. The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. As the Principal Social Worker you will have the opportunity to develop the practice of others within the team through joint working and supervision whilst also leading by example as case-holder for those children with more complex needs who require the expertise of an experienced and skilled practitioner. What We Are Looking For From You You will have an offer of direct access to a senior manager as mentor, if required. You will form a critical key part of the locality management team: shaping its practice and development alongside the other PSWs, Team Managers and your Operational Manager. Within the team you will take the role of Practice Leader, working with the Team Manager, supporting and encouraging the culture within the services as well as leading, teaching and modelling the Signs of Safety approach. You will work alongside the Team Manager to help in managing the performance and development of Social Workers as well as contributing to the development and maintenance of effective systems to ensure quality services to children in need and their families. The successful candidates must have robust safeguarding experience and experience of working with Children looked after and be confident with court proceedings. As a child protection social worker, you must be flexible and able to work under pressure. Due to the nature of the role candidates must have front line post qualifying experience in child protection services. A degree in Social Work is essential for this role, as well as excellent skills in assessment and the ability to write concise records and reports. You will be a good team player, have excellent communication, organisation skills and IT skills.

Full time
Cardiff are seeking to build upon the success of recruiting social workers by ensuring that we have the very best principal social workers to coach and support our workers, enabling them to grow and develop. In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this. Cardiff's locality model allows social workers and support staff to work within the local communities and get to know the specific needs of the communities we support. Working in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory agencies and the 3rd sector we provide the right level of assistance to our families at the right time, empowering families to reach out to these support networks in order to reduce the long term needs of individuals and the communities they live in. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers not only the experience of working in a vibrant, and successful city but also offers easy access to the fabulous South Wales region's coastline and countryside with worldwide standing. Whether you choose to live in the city or within commuting distance, you have plenty of choice in accommodation, with excellent transport routes. For those practitioners seeking to broaden their experience working with Children and their families, Cardiff has so much to offer, through exciting opportunities to develop practice knowledge in areas that can only be found in the capital city, working with children and families from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children. Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams. Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture. There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services. About the job Cardiff Safeguarding and Children looked after teams are now based in 3 localities across the city at St Mellons in the East, Fairwater in the North and Cardiff Bay in the South enabling staff to be based within the communities that they serve. Within the team's geographical area you will support children and young people through robust assessment, outcome focused planning and effective intervention to support them in achieving positive outcomes within their families and communities. Working within a restorative practice approach, you will work in partnership with families and multi-agency colleagues in intervening to address both the presenting concerns and underlying difficulties. This is an exciting opportunity to join the service which puts the individual at the heart of our work. The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. As the Principal Social Worker you will have the opportunity to develop the practice of others within the team through joint working and supervision whilst also leading by example as case-holder for those children with more complex needs who require the expertise of an experienced and skilled practitioner. What We Are Looking For From You You will have an offer of direct access to a senior manager as mentor, if required. You will form a critical key part of the locality management team: shaping its practice and development alongside the other PSWs, Team Managers and your Operational Manager. Within the team you will take the role of Practice Leader, working with the Team Manager, supporting and encouraging the culture within the services as well as leading, teaching and modelling the Signs of Safety approach. You will work alongside the Team Manager to help in managing the performance and development of Social Workers as well as contributing to the development and maintenance of effective systems to ensure quality services to children in need and their families. The successful candidates must have robust safeguarding experience and experience of working with Children looked after and be confident with court proceedings. As a child protection social worker, you must be flexible and able to work under pressure. Due to the nature of the role candidates must have front line post qualifying experience in child protection services. A degree in Social Work is essential for this role, as well as excellent skills in assessment and the ability to write concise records and reports. You will be a good team player, have excellent communication, organisation skills and IT skills.
