Shape Your Future with Oval Pet Centre

Looking for clinical freedom, true flexibility, and real career development? At Oval Pet Centre, we've built an environment where you can thrive - professionally and personally. You'll grow your skills, be part of a close-knit team, collaborate with colleagues for the best clinical outcomes and enjoy a rota that fits your lifestyle.

We are looking for a motivated Veterinary Surgeon to join our team. A day in the life of a Vet is never typical but if it were, this would include supporting our Nurses and Admin Team and providing excellent care to our clients and patients.

This is a full-time position working on a 2-week rota (4 days 1st week, 5 days 2nd week). An average of 38.25 hours per week. No OOH. You will be scheduled around 1 Saturday per month but may vary around holiday time. We can also consider a flexible or part time option.

Proud to Be Part of IVC Evidensia

At IVC Evidensia, we're driven by the passion and commitment of our people - across clinical, operational, and support teams. With over 2,500 clinics and hospitals in 20 countries and around 41,000 employees, we work together to care for around 25,000 animals every day. United by a shared purpose - Healthy Animals, Happy Owners - we're proud to champion long-term animal health and welfare through the dedication of every individual across our international network.

Supportive, Skilled and Well-equipped practice

We have the full range of diagnostics you would expect, Idexx blood machines, Idexx Urinaylsis in house and a full Dental suite with X-ray. We are a friendly, close, inclusive team consisting of 4 full time Vets, 4 RVN's, and 12 supporting team members.

Flexibility that fits your lifestyle

Wherever you are in your career, we're here to support you. Choose a rota pattern that suits your lifestyle, whether that's term-time only, week-on/week-off, or school-run friendly hours.

In return we ask that you're a confident communicator, willing to collaborate within the team to help our patients and are passionate about veterinary care.
