Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal role at IVC Evidensia UK
Salary up to £65,000 DOE and Relocation Allowance up to £5,000
Are you looking for a veterinary role that’s both fulfilling and inspiring? At Cambridge Veterinary Group, we’re excited to welcome a new colleague to our well-established, friendly practice in one of the UK’s most vibrant and historic cities. Whether you’re eager to grow your clinical skills or simply want to be part of a collaborative, caring team, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
Modern Facilities with a Personal Touch
We’re a medium-sized, single-site small animal practice dedicated to delivering high-quality, personalised care to a loyal and varied client base. Our facilities have been thoughtfully designed with both patients and the team in mind. With three spacious consulting rooms, a dedicated prep area, separate cat and dog wards, an isolation unit, fully equipped theatre, and an imaging suite, we’re set up to support excellent standards of care.
Our diagnostic and treatment tools include main beam and dental X-ray, flexible and rigid endoscopes, a video otoscope and VetPump, ultrasound, cryopen, K-laser, a Doppler blood pressure monitor, multiparameter monitor, and a fully equipped internal lab. We even have a dedicated puppy paddock and school to support early socialisation and training.
A Varied Caseload That Keeps Things Interesting
Our patients include cats, dogs, and a wide variety of exotic species, making every day different. The role offers a good mix of consulting and surgery, with just over half your time spent with clients and their pets. Surgical work usually covers routine procedures and staged dentistry, while our medicine and surgical cases are managed to a high standard in-house. For the more complex cases, we work closely with excellent local referral centres.
A Team That Has Your Back
You’ll be joining a close-knit team of seven vets, eight RVNs, and nine support staff. Among our vets are certificate holders in Advanced Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging and Small Animal Medicine, and our nursing team plays a vital role in patient care, running clinics in everything from preventative healthcare and nutrition to senior pet support and wellness checks.
We place a strong emphasis on teamwork, collaboration, and continuous learning. Clinical meetings, case discussions, and M&M reviews are a regular part of practice life, and we also benefit from the expertise of a visiting professor of ophthalmology who works closely with the team.
A Practice Recognised for Excellence
Our dedication to quality is reflected in our accreditations and achievements. We are RCVS accredited as a Small Animal General Practice, hold Chicken Vet accreditation, Bronze ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic status, and Silver RWAF Rabbit-Friendly Practice recognition. We’ve also been named one of the Top 3 Vets in Cambridge by Three Best Rated for three consecutive years – 2022, 2023, and 2024.
