Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal at IVC Evidensia
Salary up to £65,000 DOE, plus Relocation Allowance up to £5,000.
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a small animal vet to join our friendly and supportive team at MBM Vets. We are seeking a dedicated, caring, and motivated vet to fill this role, and in return we offer great support, exciting career development and a healthy work-life balance. Shifts are a mixture of consult-only, surgery and consultations or hospital work. We expect all of our vets to be confident with consultations, routine surgery and in-patient care; however we would happily accommodate anyone wishing for a consult-only role.
You will mainly be based at our Kilmarnock branch, but shifts at our Mauchline and Beith branches may be required. 15-minute consultations are standard, with 30 minutes for new patients, bandage changes or trickier cases.
Our flexible approach to rota patterns and working hours offers a balance that works around your lifestyle. Ideally, up to 40 hours per week across 4 or 5 days with a 1:3 Saturday rota (8:00am-1:00pm) and no OOH. We are also a VetsNow OOH host practice, meaning that patients requiring 24-hour hospitalisation can be kept in-house.
