At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.
Market Vets, part of ivc, are looking for a Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team in North Devon. You’ll be based primarily at our Barnstaple practice, with occasional support at our South Molton branch.
We offer a great balance of consultations and surgery, with everything from routine procedures through to emergency and critical care. There’s plenty of variety to keep things interesting, while also giving you the freedom to develop the clinical areas you enjoy most.
Whether you already have a particular interest or are still figuring out where you’d like your career to take you, there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and get involved.
We’re well equipped with an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, dental radiography, therapeutic K-laser and multiparameter anaesthetic monitoring.
So, whether you’re working up a tricky case or carrying out a routine procedure, you’ll have the facilities and equipment around you to provide excellent patient care.
You’ll be joining a welcoming team of 12 vets and 13 RVNs, alongside an experienced client care team and Practice Director. We have a certificate holder in exotics and colleagues with interests across orthopaedics, dentistry and farm animal medicine, creating a great environment for learning and sharing knowledge.
CPD and professional development are genuinely encouraged, with support available if you’d like to pursue further study or a certificate.
Our work doesn’t stop at the practice doors. We run fortnightly outreach clinics in Torrington and Lynton, helping to make veterinary care more accessible across North Devon while building strong relationships with the local community.
This is a full-time role of 40 hours per week, worked over four or five days. There is a shared 1:5 weekend rota and on-call commitment until 7pm, after which a dedicated out-of-hours provider takes over. We’re also happy to consider part-time applications.
