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.
Shreen Vets, part of ivc, is looking for a confident and personable Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team.

You'll also be supported by an experienced and proactive RVN team who run their own successful nurse clinics, alongside an in-house Physiotherapy Certificate Holder. We actively encourage CPD and certificate study, helping you continue to grow both clinically and professionally.

Collaboration, open communication and shared learning are at the heart of our culture, creating an environment where everyone is encouraged to contribute, develop and deliver the very best outcomes for our patients and clients.
