Mixed Veterinary Surgeon

Overview

Are you a passionate and motivated vet looking for a unique and flexible role? A forward‑thinking practice on the stunning Isle of Wight is seeking a Mixed Vet to join their supportive team. This role offers the perfect blend of small animal and farm work, set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most beautiful and diverse environments.

Imagine working just 3 or 4 days a week, with a generous salary that reflects your experience. The Isle of Wight, a UNESCO biosphere, offers an unparalleled lifestyle with surf, sea‑swimming, mountain biking, and even sea eagles right on your doorstep. Plus, with easy access to cross‑channel ports, airports, and direct trains to central London, you’re never far from the action.

The practice cares for roughly 10,000 cattle and 30,000 breeding ewes, with a strong focus on sustainability. Regular client meetings cover topics such as integrated parasite management and anti‑microbial stewardship. The practice supports ongoing professional development with a generous CPD budget, all the latest farm‑practice equipment, and organised trips to progressive mainland farms to translate new knowledge into practical applications.

The clinic is busy and varied, equipped with DR, ultrasound, and dental X‑ray facilities, ensuring high standards of care. Clinical freedom is a cornerstone of the practice’s ethos, with the wider Vet Partners community providing additional employment benefits.

The out‑of‑hours rota is a quiet 1 in 4, and the practice is currently training an ATT to minimise routine testing, allowing you to focus on clinical work. The team of 12 vets boasts a wide range of specialisms, so whether you have a passion for raptors, capuchin monkeys, or tapirs, there’s room to explore your interests.

If this sounds like the perfect role for you, informal enquiries are welcomed. The Clinical Directors and the current post holder are happy to discuss the role further. Better yet, come and visit the Isle of Wight to see for yourself why this practice is such a special place to work.

For further information, an informal chat, or to apply, please email Debbie Loding at  or call today.

You must be a qualified Veterinary Surgeon and eligible to register with the RCVS to be considered for this role.
