It feels like some time since we did an introduce a staff member post, so here we are with our next one!

Grace is one of our newer members of staff, recently joining us as a vet. Grace brings a certain calm, positive and caring vibe to the practice and whilst she hasn't been with us for long, she has become a very valued team member really quickly. Grace says that the things that she loves most about working at Millie's are the team and the clients, we think this is mutual as we have had ALOT of very positive comments about her from clients.

Grace has 3 labradors of varying ages and a horse and says that if she could be any animal for a day, it would be a fly...be sure to ask her why when you next have an appointment with her! Grace is definitely known amongst the team for her visits to the nearby gym at lunchtime either for a swim or a sauna...we think that's a great way of switching off in the middle of the day and Grace always comes back glowing!

So now the quick fire questions...
Dog or cat: DOG
Guinea pigs or rabbits: RABBITS
Patient that melts your heart the most: GOLDEN OLDIE
Tea or coffee: TEA (with milk and 1 sugar apparently!)
Favourite snack: CRISPS,
Morning person or night owl: MORNING

We love everything that Grace is bringing to Millie's, she is a huge asset to the team 😊

Morning everyone! Just thought we would remind you that we will be without internet for some of the day (probably around lunchtime), but our phones should still be working. We may not be as slick as we usually are, but we will be working very hard to make things run as smoothly as possible whilst we have some vital work done on our IT infrastructure 😊

Did you know Millie’s Vets offers routine and poorly-pet appointments on Saturdays from 9am til 12 noon for both vets and nurses. Plus vet appointments from 2-4pm on Saturday afternoons too.

The same team, the same care, the same prices as in the week.

Usually, our Saturday appointments get taken very quickly, but we have appointments available for tomorrow. No need to use the out of hours service, or wait until Monday. You can contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or even book online 24/7 at MilliesVets.co.uk

We are RECRUITING!!

We are looking for our next Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) to join us at Millie’s Vets.

The role of the VCA is the most diverse role within the practice and as such, we are seeking someone with experience of working in a vet practice previously. This is not a training role.

This is a full time position, working 4 full or 8 half days per week, with some Saturday work also needed (included in the hours). Pay is in line with but slightly higher than the National Minimum Wage.

The role includes elements of both Client Care and of course helping the clinical team carry out investigations and treatments for our wonderful patients too. This includes, but is not limited to:
- taking phone calls
- greeting clients and their pets on arrival
- taking payments
- arranging/rearranging appointments
- offering general advice, after appropriate training, regarding routine preventative healthcare measures, but also:
- identifying where information needs to be escalated, eg urgent advice regarding a poorly pet.
- holding patients whilst blood tests or other ‘minor procedures’ are performed.
- running blood samples on our in house laboratory.
- assisting the nurse team with anaesthetised patients.
- preparing clinical areas for the next patient.
- Stock handling, stock take, processing orders.
- restocking consultation rooms and other areas

We currently have 3 genuinely brilliant VCA’s (Olivia, Zak and Ollie) but 2, possibly all 3, will be reducing their hours with us as they return to their studies to become vets and vet nurses of the future.

The full team consists of:
4 Veterinary Surgeons (James, Cari, Grace and Will) plus a small number of very trusted Locums
5 Registered Veterinary Nurses (Hannah, Kate, Nicky, Emily and Leah)
4 Client care colleagues (Natalie, Kelly, Sharon and Ettie)
Practice manager, admin assistant and domestic assistant: Adrian, Lydia and Louise.

To be considered for this exciting role with Congleton’s only independently owned veterinary practice, please email a cover letter and cv to [email protected]

Closing day for applications is 8pm on Sunday 23rd August.

Please ensure that your cover letter is a true representation of your personal work and other experiences.

As we are working more with Sandbach Animal Rescue Society we thought we would share this post about 2 very special cats who need a long term foster placement. If you would like to help them, please contact the rescue directly...paws crossed they get help soon, it would be lovely if they could find a comfy sofa to curl up on 😻
