Isle of Wight

Not just a career, a lifestyle.

A great opportunity exists for a Veterinary Surgeon with exceptional communication skills and UK experience, to work at our Ryde practice on the Isle of Wight. You will have the opportunity to develop your career to reach its full potential.

Why choose Pet Doctors?

It’s simple, because we have a recognition culture within our team. A job well done will be rewarded with a heart felt “Thank You” along with a comprehensive financial package including BSAVA membership, twenty five days holiday plus bank holidays, private medical insurance, Veterinary Defence Society membership, Income protection insurance and Life insurance.

We offer and expect career progression within the practice and can offer it within the Group. To start with we will offer you a CPD allowance of £1500 and five paid days, but that’s not all, take a look at our Check list and compare us to your other potential employers.

Note that we have increased the CPD allowance to £1500 – not the £1175 in this file.

When you choose Ryde for your new career you won’t be thrown in at the deep end either. We have a comprehensive induction programme which covers everything you need to know about the job, organisation, and clinic guidelines and you will also be given your own copy of our Employee Handbook which explains our policies, procedures, benefits and codes of conduct in more detail so your introduction in to the Company will be a smooth and enjoyable one.

If our Vets within the clinic can’t answer your technical questions, we have a nearby hospital with full support. In addition we have excellent communication lines with our clinicians at Wey Referrals who are on hand to give advice and guidance over the phone and have the most difficult cases referred to them.

We also have our own dedicated  diagnostics centre – Greendale Veterinary Diagnostics.  Again, our Greendale staff are happy to give advice and guidance, over the phone, or discuss a problematic case in more detail.
