You'll be a dynamic and proactive Veterinary Surgeon with solid surgical and medical skills. You should be a strong team player, who is keen to be involved and work alongside us.

We can offer you a great team environment where everyone is always on hand to support each other. We regularly talk through our cases, learn new things from one another and have friendly debates.

Our well-equipped surgery is purpose built to industry leading standards and you'll get use of our facilities including digital x-rays, ultrasound, in-house lab, operating theatre, separate cat and dog wards and exotics ward. Procedures offered include usual routine surgeries, ex-laps and associated surgeries like splenectomies, gastrotomies, enterectomies etc. BOAS, TTA, TECA. A large percentage of our clients are insured.

We pride ourselves on in-house diagnostic work ups; we have a visiting internal medicine specialist to help out too and we do many skilled orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries that we would love to teach others how to do.

We're based inside a busy Pets at Home store on Beardmore Retail Park in Martlesham. We have food and clothes shops nearby and are 15 minutes from the local towns of Ipswich and Woodbridge. Our great location means we benefit from a good variety of cases and a loyal client base.
We want our colleagues to be as diverse as our clients. Our teams are inclusive and celebrate difference so if you meet our role requirements, we'd love to hear from you.
