Overview
Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal role at IVC Evidensia.
Salary is up to £65,000 DOE (FTE) plus £5,000 Relocation Allowance plus up to £5,000 signing bonus.
Veterinary Surgeon needed for award-winning, fabulous practice in Biddulph, Staffordshire. Recent graduates and more experienced vets equally welcome.
About the Practice
We have 8 vets (5 FTE) with two studying for certificates in cardiology and ophthalmology, a surgical certificate holder, and varied interests and experience from 4 to 24 years. With one of our vets on maternity leave, we are seeking another vet to complement our team. We have already selected a new graduate to start in August, so we will focus on training. If you have special skills, certificates, or preferences we want to talk to you. A Surgical certificate or interest would be ideal. We are fully negotiable on salary/package for certificate holders.
We would like a team member who fits our culture and is willing to spend a day with us to ensure it is right for both sides. You are welcome to speak to staff past or present, or our EMS students, to learn about us.
Working Pattern
We are ideally looking for a full-time vet (40 hours per week over four or five days). We can consider alternative patterns that might suit you and enable you to split hours over 2–4 days a week. We are happy to discuss working less than the advertised hours or any specific requirements. Current vets’ working hours vary from 19 to 40 per week over 2 to 5 days. We do not require OOH, night checks, Sundays, or bank holidays.
Saturdays are officially 1 in 5 (currently 1 in 6) alongside 2 receptionists, a RVN, and one other nursing team member (student, VCA or RVN) and only 8am–1pm. If you love Saturdays or it suits you better, let us know.

Our environment includes dedicated clinical offices, 8 consulting rooms plus an end-of-life room, cat-only waiting and ward (Cat friendly silver status), 2 full theatres plus a dental theatre, and a wellbeing-focused layout with natural light.
