Join to apply for the Veterinary Surgeon - FTC role at IVC Evidensia UK
We have an opportunity for 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 plenty of opportunity to consult, investigate, operate and follow your own cases through.
Flexible Hours to suit you. The standard full time rota consists of 40 hours per week across 4 days between the hours of 8am to 7pm. Shifts run from Monday to Saturday with a Saturday finishing time being 5pm. All vets do an equal share of the Saturday rota which enables us to fit your days off around other commitments.
About Us
We are a busy first opinion, 2 site small animal practice in the process of developing our Thurlby practice into separate buildings for cats and dogs, enhancing the quality of care for both. We are fully equipped with 7 vets, 9 RVN, 10 Support (VCA and reception) practice, with a real focus on enabling training and development within the team.
Our Day Manager is responsible for the smooth running of the day, ensuring the clinical team can focus on what they do best. We provide great first opinion care for small animals and exotic species and have an ophthalmology certificate holder within our team. In addition, a peripatetic surgeon visits us for orthopaedics and the more complicated soft tissue surgery.
Consulting vets have the support of a dispensary nurse, allowing you to make the most of our 20 minute consultations, with a real focus on establishing relationships with our clients and their pets. Wellbeing of the team is very important to us. We focus on this in our day to day work and the role of the Day Manager is a vital part of this, ensuring our days are structured and planned to allow for a smooth workflow.
