Are you a Veterinary Surgeon looking for an exciting role with the opportunity to expand and develop your clinical skill set?
Here at Newport Veterinary Hospital we are seeking a motivated, enthusiastic and caring Veterinary Surgeon to join our dedicated team on the Isle of Wight.
At CVS, caring is what we do. As a Veterinary Nurse, you'll be at the heart of promoting pet wellness—monitoring patients' health, supporting their recovery, and offering reassurance to the people who love them. Because for us, caring isn't just a job—it's in our nature.
We put our people first—because when you're supported, you can deliver the very best care. With industry-leading learning, hands-on training, and guidance, you'll have everything you need to grow your skills and confidence. Whether you're looking to progress in your current role or explore new career pathways, CVS is the place to nurture your future career.
The Role
We welcome applications from any areas of interest. Especially those with surgical experience, a surgical bias or even exotics! This role involves working 2 weeks on then 2 weeks off. During your working weeks, you will work shifts between the hours of 8am-8pm.
Along with having the opportunity to join our dedicated veterinary team here at Newport Veterinary Hospital, you will also be encouraged to continue your professional development in practice.
We are true believers of learning and nurturing our vet talent and therefore offer structured support and development of clinical skills with the potential for support in gaining a fully funded certificate. You will be joining a team of certificate holders (or working towards) in Surgery, Cardiology, ECC, Internal Medicine and Dermatology. The IOW vet teams work collaboratively and contribute to Clinical Excellence projects, regular vet meetings, case reviews and dedicated CPD days held in-house for the team to learn and grow together.
