Veterinary Surgeon

We are an independently owned, long established and well-equipped small animal practice based in Ipswich, Suffolk, and we have an excellent reputation locally with our clients.

An exciting opportunity is available for you to join this team and be part of the future growth of the practice.

We have a strong, forward-thinking caring team consisting of friendly experienced vets, proactive and supportive RVNs, experienced receptionists who take great care of our vets, and hardworking ward assistants, many of whom have worked for us for many years. There is a huge amount of support for each other within the team.

We can offer full surgical and diagnostic imaging support and advice from our own team of surgeons at our sister referral centre (Christchurch Veterinary Referrals) which has on-site CT and MRI Scanners and a fantastic team of surgeons who are always available to offer advice where required.

Our appointments are 20 minutes as standard (longer if required) to ensure enough time is available to offer a great service, and a set admin time is blocked off during the afternoon to allow for phone calls etc.

Working days: 4 days per week and every other Saturday morning 8am to 12 noon. No After hours.
