Overview
Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - FTC role at IVC Evidensia. We are seeking an enthusiastic, first opinion general practice vet to join the team full or part time for 12 months maternity cover. This opportunity offers a varied and interesting caseload with the chance to consult, investigate, operate and follow your own cases through.
Flexible hours to suit you. The standard full-time rota is 40 hours per week across 4 days between 8:00 and 19:00. Shifts run from Monday to Saturday with a Saturday finishing time of 17:00. All vets share the Saturday rota to allow days off around other commitments. We are also very open to hearing from part-time candidates and can discuss a bespoke rota at interview.
About Us
We are a busy first opinion, 2-site small animal practice developing our Thurlby practice into separate buildings for cats and dogs to enhance care. We are a 7-vet, 9-RVN, 10-support team practice with a focus on training and development. Our Day Manager helps ensure smooth daily operations so the clinical team can focus on patient care. We provide great first opinion care for small animals and exotic species, with an ophthalmology certificate holder and a visiting peripatetic surgeon for orthopaedics and more complex soft tissue surgery. Out-of-hours care is provided by our local Vets Now team in Peterborough.
Consulting vets have the support of a dispensary nurse, enabling 20-minute consultations with a focus on building relationships with clients and their pets. Wellbeing of the team is important, with the Day Manager role contributing to structured, planned days for a smooth workflow. We also host monthly wellbeing activities and seasonal events.
