Veterinary Surgeon

We are looking for a compassionate and dedicated Vet to join our team!

Riversbrook Vets are a friendly, diverse and progressive team, with a wealth of experience. We have a great work-up culture, and everyone is encouraged to develop their own interests, be that working towards a certificate, or simply being an excellent GP vet. We also have support from regularly visiting cardiology and surgery certificate holders. We have a lovely reception team and a supportive nursing team, who are happy to help in any way they can - they even enjoy a dental scale and polish and taking dental x-rays! We are incredibly proud that we have been able to build a strong and respectful team that enjoy coming to work.

The position would ideally be 40 hours per week, which includes a share of Saturdays (8am-2pm), although we are open to part time/job share applications. There are no OOH requirements as this is covered by our local MinightVet team.

Our state of the art facilities include: A digital x-ray and ultrasound machine with a separate dental suite so you can have the freedom to work up your cases with support if needed.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Vet to join our two site small animal practice in Ipswich.
