Job description

Island Veterinary Associates are looking for a dedicated GP Vet to join their team! The successful candidate will be given a well-balanced caseload of medicine and surgery. However, this role has the option to offer more of an emphasis on surgery, so this would be a good match for anyone with that clinical interest. The role will be based exclusively at our Bloxwich practice. We're offering a welcome bonus of up to £5000 (pro rata) for new hires too!

Fix or flex - find your perfect balance

We are happy to accept both full/part-time applications for this role. A full-time role would require you to work a 40-hour week across 4 days per week, on a shared rota with a fair shift pattern. You will be required at work 1:5 Saturdays mornings, and there is no out-of-hours work; however, you may need to cover inpatient care should the need arise.

About Us

We are a friendly, small animal practice surrounded by beautiful countryside, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts such as those who enjoy mountain biking, hiking, or dog walking. We also have great links to public transport and excellent rail access to anywhere in the UK. Bloxwich is located opposite the duck pond. It's a real community-based practice with a diverse client base.

About the Team and Culture

The best thing about our practice is our fantastic team, who have all been here for many years and are well known by our clients. Our team includes 1 RVN, 1 SVN, a dedicated receptionist, and 2 experienced VCAs.

Here's what the team have to say

"I started at Island Vets in 2013 after 30 years in the profession. I wanted to settle in a practice with a local community and a team environment. I have been here for 11 years, taking on several roles and developing close relationships with our clients. I feel part of a work family. The past 8 years I have been the branch manager at Wombourne and Gornal. I always feel fully supported in my progression. Work-life balance is a high priority for us, and we promote and accommodate this whenever possible." - Sarah, Branch Manager
