We’re looking for a Small Animal Vet to join our mixed practice on the ‘tropical’ Isle of Wight with lots of variety in caseload and the opportunity to work cases up to a high level.
The island is only a short ferry trip from the mainland (Southampton, Portsmouth, or Lymington) and has very easy access to Southampton airport and fast train links to London. You would be joining a young, vibrant, and supportive team with a wide range of interests and experience. We also pay for four return car ferry crossing per year for our vets.
Our team currently consists of sixteen vets, sixteen nurses, three animal care assistants and a supportive management/admin team.
Maybe you’d be interested in dipping your toe into farm animal work in a supportive and friendly environment alongside a variety of SA work? We’d love to support you in your journey. We have a very varied caseload including exotics, farm and small.
The rota:
You would be working a 4-day week with a 1 in 10 OOH rota and no full weekends, we are lucky to have an on-call nurse available to help our vets, as well as a second Vet on call. We are welcome to all experience levels.
If you’re a New Graduate vet, you also have the opportunity of joining our fantastic Graduate Development Programme. As part of the VetPartners group, this programme means you will be able to embrace a blended learning approach of training days, in-house mentoring, CPD, and clinical practice, creating a varied platform for you to grow and develop as a Veterinary Surgeon. You will be offered both supportive 1-to-1 and group mentoring sessions, for engagement and interaction, as you develop an invaluable skillset. From surgical/medical experience, to enjoying teamwork, providing refined customer service, and gaining business knowledge to support the security of great patient care.
