The Role

Here at Island Veterinary Associates we are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the day to day running of busy branch surgery.

The rota will include working 40 hours per week over 4 days. There will be 1 in 7 Saturdays and no out of hours.

About Us

Island Veterinary Associates is a small, friendly practice based in the lovely town of Stone. We are a fully equipped surgery with modern ultrasound, Blood chemistry, and all the normal everyday equipment. 

This is a sole Vet practice at the moment but is supported by a fantastic, experienced Head Nurse and brilliant Receptionist, however we are looking to expand so it will eventually become a 2 Vet practice. Our main surgery is located in Stafford, with two certificate holders in small animal surgery, and two more Surgeons doing their certificates in Imaging and Surgery. 

Applicant Requirements 

This would be an ideal role for a Veterinary Surgeon who is happy to branch out on their own but would still like to receive the support of a team around them.
