Are you ready for a life-changing opportunity in a place of breathtaking beauty? Imagine living on the stunning Isle of Man, where rugged coastlines meet medieval castles and rolling rural landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see. If this sounds like the dream location for your next adventure, keep reading.
An incredible opportunity has opened up for an enthusiastic and dedicated veterinary surgeon to join a thriving, independent mixed animal practice on this beautiful island. Whether your passion lies in small animals, equine care, or a mix of both, this practice offers a welcoming and supportive environment to help you thrive.
Our client, a growing three-vet team, is looking for the perfect person to join their family as they embark on an exciting journey of expansion. They're not just building a team-they're building a future. Plans are in motion to create the island's first veterinary hospital and a dedicated equine clinic, with the first steps already taken through the acquisition of new premises.
This is a practice committed to excellence, combining modern, state-of-the-art equipment with a forward-thinking approach to care. From laparoscopy (training provided if needed) to a cutting-edge in-house laboratory, digital and dental x-rays, you'll have all the tools you need to provide outstanding patient care. The caseload is predominantly small animal (75-80%), with 10-15% equine work and a smaller proportion of farm practice. For those interested in expanding their skills, there's also the potential to grow the farm side of the practice.
Passionate about work-life balance, this team ensures you'll have time to enjoy the stunning surroundings. The last consult is at 5:45 pm, with emergencies only for late appointments, meaning you can usually finish up by 6:30 pm. They're flexible with rotas, offering options for 4 or 4.5-day weeks, part-time hours, and a 1:4 weekend rota. Out-of-hours calls are rare, and if they do happen, you'll receive a generous additional income-last year, this amounted to an extra £8,000 for one vet.
Whether you're an experienced vet or have recently completed your VetGDP, this is your chance to grow in a supportive, relaxed environment. The practice will tailor your role to suit your interests, whether in small animal, equine, or mixed practice. They'll also provide mentorship, training, and the opportunity to develop your skills with their innovative, client-focused approach.
Living on the Isle of Man means embracing a lifestyle unlike any other. This island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering everything from hiking and mountain biking to water sports like paddleboarding and sea kayaking. The low taxation here means your income stretches further, allowing you to enjoy all the island has to offer while saving more of what you earn.
This is your chance to join a proudly independent, RCVS-accredited practice making its mark in the veterinary world. With its stunning landscapes, thriving practice, and vibrant community, the Isle of Man is waiting to welcome you. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity-your adventure starts here.
