Graduate Veterinary Surgeon - Small Animal
Stepping into your future – ready to learn, grow, and do meaningful work that matters. At IVCEvidensia, you’ll find a place where you can be yourself, supported by people who want to see you thrive. You’ll gain hands‑on experience, build confidence, and discover how far your passion can take you.
Inglis Vets in Dunfermline is a 9‑site practice in Central Scotland with a 24‑hour hospital in Dunfermline. We cover out‑of‑hours for two local practices, providing good exposure to emergency work. Roles involve working at different sites, so a driving licence is preferred.
We will support you through the Graduate Training program, initially settling into the clinic role before starting Graduate RDSVS training at our Cowdenbeath practice. Our team of 30 vets and 30 nurses across sites offers a friendly team of varying experience to help support you.
Practice facilities and equipment include in‑house blood machines, ultrasound, digital x‑ray, and dental x‑ray. The hospital base offers 24‑hour care and facilities to hospitalise and work up medical cases, and we also offer hydrotherapy, acupuncture and physiotherapy. You will work 40 hours per week, with weekends and duty night shifts on rotation (approximately 1 in 12). Stand‑down time is generous. Out‑of‑hours work and a dedicated Vet GDP Advisor will provide additional support.
