Unlock your passions at The Barn Veterinary Practice
The Barn Veterinary practice is a small animal practice located in Copdock, Ipswich. Copdock is less than 1 hour to London and Norwich, near the beach and several areas of outstanding beauty. Ipswich is well-connected by road and rail and has good bus services. You may also be required to work at our Ashcroft Road Surgery site which is about a 20 minute drive from our Copdock site.
We have a fantastic, supportive team of 7.5 FTE Vets, 7 RVNs and an excellent administrative team all of whom are looking forward to welcoming a new graduate. Within the team, we have certificate holders in Small Animal Surgery, Ophthalmology and Diagnostic Imaging. We also have a member of the team studying for their Cardiology certificate too.
The Copdock Surgery was designed and purpose-built within a converted Suffolk barn, to offer a very highly equipped, modern facility. Practice facilities and equipment include digital x-ray, ultrasound, in-house laboratory, tonometer, slit lamp, diamond burr, endoscope and therapeutic laser.
Step into a supportive start
40 hours per week. Shifts are currently 8:30am - 7pm or 9am - 5pm. You will work 2-3 late shifts per week. No on call which allows a great work life balance.
You will be assigned and supported by a specific, dedicated mentor and you will only consult alongside experienced Vets until you are confident in consulting alone. You will have back up for any weekend work until you are confident.
