The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated veterinary Surgeon to join our team. The position is full time, working 4 full days 8.30am to 5.30pm plus one half day a week. The rota is shared 1:6 for weekend and weeknight duties. All veterinary surgeons have the opportunity to consult, perform medical work ups & surgeries and spend time on the road with a nurse on different days. We are happy to accommodate specific interests, e.g. some vets perform more surgery and others more consultations, other vets prefer to be out on the road more.

About Us

The vets work together to decide on where they would like to focus their attention. We are blessed with lovely clients, and a lovely team. We focus on quality of care rather than quantity. 15 minute consults. CT scanner, laparoscopic surgery, video endoscopy, (training/CPD in all if interested) and loads of support from a very experienced team. We have 7 vets, some part time and some full time. These include an endoscopy and a CertAVP certificate holder. Our team is also comprised of 5 RVNs and several support staff plus a practice manager. We view our practice as happy, relaxed and welcoming. We all love what we do and feel privi-leged to be trusted with the care of the Islanders' pets. Our team cares, listens and supports each other working together to help provide the very best of customer care.  

We have a very strong focus on looking after each other and ensuring a good work:life balance and we look after our team very well, ensuring team members finish on time and have ample time off to enjoy all the Island has to offer, including surfing ,sailing, walking, cycling, foraging, etc. The Island is a very safe place to be both during Covid 19 and more normal times. Our team are integral in helping us continue to strive to be the best for our clients and patients and we focus on championing good mental and physical health; whilst maintaining awareness of the impor-tance of family commitments to staff with children. In addition and looking ahead there are significant prospects for the right vet to become a more integral part of the business in a directors role.  

The team is a friendly bunch, hoping to form lasting and genuine partnerships with all clients and pets. We endeavour to approach every conversation with openness, warmth and honesty. Doing the right thing is fundamentally important to us – we work hard to keep our training and development up to date and we invest in the best equipment. 

The Island offers easy access to London by train. Beautiful coastal scenery with several excellent restaurants and pubs which the team often samples during our regular social events! We support local charities and take our wider responsibilities seriously, recycling everything we can and actively reducing waste. We are also proud to be a water refill station and we love our insects too, as a Bee-Friendly practice.  If you have ever won-dered what it was like to work as a Vet on this friendly island, we can offer assistance with relocation up to £3,000 as well as a Welcome Bonus of £1,500.  

We always push the boundaries and ensure we are thinking about new ideas to challenge the current status quo in the veterinary industry, striving to be leaders and not followers and taking pride in being different from the rest so we can continue to provide the very best of
care for our patients.
