Job description

Shape the Future of Veterinary Dentistry at MyVets Lancashire

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon with a passion for dentistry—or looking to develop one?

MyVets Lancashire, part of IVC Evidensia, is offering an exciting opportunity to join our team as part of a developing dentistry-focused service, where you can play a key role in shaping and delivering high-quality dental care. This is more than a standard GP role—it’s a chance to build your clinical interest in dentistry within a supportive, forward-thinking environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be part of a dedicated and growing dentistry service
• Work with modern dental equipment, including dental radiography
• Develop your skills in dental procedures, imaging, and treatment planning
• Play a key role in promoting proactive dental care and best practice
• Contribute to a more structured and efficient dental workflow
• Additional qualifications in Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery are not required, but this role would particularly suit a vet working towards—or holding—a dental certificate.

Your Role

• Consultations – including identifying and advising on dental cases
• Surgery – with opportunities to increase your dental caseload
• Dentistry – from routine procedures through to more advanced cases as you develop

You’ll be supported by an experienced team who are committed to clinical collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing.

The Hours

• 40 hours per week over 4 days (8am–7pm)
• 1 in 5 Saturdays (8am–2pm)
• No OOH or bank holidays
• Open to part-time and flexible working patterns

You Might Be a Great Fit

• A veterinary degree and registration (or eligibility to register) with the RCVS
• Experience working in clinical practice with growing confidence in routine medical and surgical cases
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with clients and colleagues
• A proactive approach to learning, with openness to feedback and development
• Professionalism, reliability, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively

How We’ll Support You

• Clear career pathways with progression opportunities across primary care, referral, leadership, and specialist roles
• Funded learning and development including CPD allowance and access to IVC academy training centres and role-relevant courses
• £1,250 annual Care Fund for every vet
• Access to mentors, regional clinical coaches, and peer networks
• Support to develop clinical interests and expand your capabilities
• A collaborative, values-led culture focused on care, community, and continuous improvement

What We Offer Our Team

• 6.6 weeks’ holiday including bank holidays
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced family leave and pay across maternity, paternity, adoption and surrogacy
• BVA membership, VDS cover & RCVS fees
• Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes (eligibility applies)
• Retail discounts and cashback offers
• Reduced-cost veterinary care for your own pets

£37,000 - £65,000 a year. Up to £65,000 pa DOE.
