Student and Graduate opportunities

OUR NEW GRADUATE PROGRAMME 

Every year we aim to offer new graduates a one-year structured and supported "internship" within each of our departments. How many we offer depends not only on our current requirements but also on how much training and mentoring the team is in a position to offer. Through our inidividual programmes, we want you to become clinically confident, a good decision maker and a team player, thus helping you thrive in practice and enjoy a lifelong career in veterinary medicine. Become the vet you want to be. In 2023 we are still welcoming applications for our Small Animal team programme.

"As a new graduate, I was searching for the perfect first job; a job that would allow me to lay a solid foundation from which to build on as I progressed through my career as a vet.  The opportunity offered by The George has been exactly that. Within days of starting, I felt right at home, both supported and accepted by the entire team.

I have learned more than I thought possible in my first few months as a vet, as the hospital is very busy and sees an incredible variety of cases. The programme itself is challenging, forcing you to step outside your comfort zone at times, but is never overwhelming, as you always have someone to call on for support; the mentorship is unmatched. Overall, I feel this is exactly where I need to be and would recommend to anyone looking for a great first job!"

Andi Naude - New Graduate Programme 2023-24

"I found the new graduate programme the perfect cross roads from university into veterinary life. I was able to embrace a busy out-of-hours rota surrounded by a supportive and progressive team. It gave me an excellent grounding in medicine and surgery through a varied caseload and our colleagues ensure everyday is full of laughs and exciting challenges. I would fully recommend the program to any enthusiastic new-graduates looking to progress rapidly into a well-rounded veterinarian."

WORK EXPERIENCE OPPORTUNITIES 

At The George Veterinary Group we offer work experience as a week-long programme across most disciplines within the business for those 16 years and older. This allows us to present a more rounded approach to veterinary care covering pets, administration, nursing roles, and visits both at the Hospital as well as out "in the field" with ambulatory vets. We are pleased to take on any students who are genuinely interested in veterinary care and who want to learn more about what we do. Please note that we cannot accept any students under the age of sixteen.

We receive a lot of enquiries about opportunities for work experience, but if you would like to be considered then please email: workexperience@georgevetgroup.co.uk
