At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
New Street Vets, part of ivc, is looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and experienced team as we begin an exciting new chapter alongside our sister practice, Otter Vets.
If you're looking for a practice where you can enjoy the variety of first-opinion work, develop your clinical interests and be surrounded by people who genuinely support one another, we'd love to hear from you.
A Caseload With Plenty of Variety
- No two days are the same at New Street Vets.
- You'll see a varied first-opinion caseload including cats, dogs, rabbits, small furries, the occasional chicken and even local wildlife.
- You'll enjoy a great balance of consultations and surgery, with the flexibility to focus more heavily on surgery if that's where your interests lie.
- Working alongside colleagues across both practices also means plenty of opportunities to share knowledge, broaden your experience and get involved with emergency and critical care cases.
Whatever areas of veterinary medicine you're passionate about, we're keen to support you in developing them.
A Friendly Practice With a Fresh New Chapter
- Based in a charming converted property close to Honiton's high street, New Street Vets combines a welcoming community feel with modern clinical facilities.
- You'll have access to dedicated consulting rooms, dental radiography, a recently installed ultrasound machine and a comprehensive in-house laboratory, giving you the tools to investigate and manage your cases confidently.
- With a practice refurbishment underway, it's an exciting time to join and have the opportunity to be part of what's next for New Street Vets.
