New Street Vets, part of ivc, is looking for a Lead Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and experienced team. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on clinical work with mentoring, coaching and helping shape the future of the practice.
This is an ideal role for an experienced vet who enjoys supporting others, sharing knowledge and making a difference while continuing to develop your own clinical interests.
As a busy first-opinion practice, no two days are the same. You'll see a varied caseload of cats, dogs, rabbits, small furries, the occasional chicken and even local wildlife.
You'll enjoy a great mix of consultations, surgery and medical cases, with the flexibility to focus more heavily on surgery if that's where your interests lie. There's also exposure to emergency and critical care, giving you plenty of clinical variety and opportunities to use and develop your skills.
You'll be part of an experienced team of Veterinary Surgeons and RVNs, supported by a dedicated Practice Manager.
As Lead Vet, you'll have the opportunity to mentor and coach colleagues, share your experience and help shape how the practice continues to develop. You'll have a voice in the future of New Street Vets while still enjoying the clinical work you love.
We're also keen to support your own development, whether that's pursuing a clinical certificate or developing a particular area of interest.
Housed in a charming converted property close to Honiton's high street, New Street Vets combines a welcoming community feel with modern clinical facilities, including dedicated consulting rooms, dental radiography, a recently installed ultrasound machine and a comprehensive in-house laboratory.
With an exciting refurbishment underway, it's a particularly good time to join as we continue investing in the practice and the team.
Full-time hours are 40 per week across four or five days, with part-time applications welcomed from 30 hours. You'll work just 1:4 Saturday mornings, 9am–1pm, with no out-of-hours or on-call commitments.
Nestled in East Devon, Honiton offers the perfect blend of market town charm and countryside living. Surrounded by rolling hills and just a short drive from the Jurassic Coast, you'll have easy access to beautiful beaches, scenic walks and endless outdoor adventures.
