Find your future
Are you looking for an equine-focused role that offers genuine professional fulfilment alongside an exceptional quality of life? We’re delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for an Equine Veterinary Surgeon to join our thriving practice on the beautiful Isle of Man. This is a varied and rewarding equine-only position, working within a supportive and experienced team where you’ll be encouraged to develop your clinical skills while enjoying a truly unique island lifestyle.
For those considering relocation, we offer full support with moving to the Isle of Man, helping to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible so you can focus on settling into both your new role and your new home.
Looking for a better work–life balance?
We offer a genuinely flexible approach to working patterns and welcome both full-time and part-time applicants. The full-time role is 38 hours per week, worked over 4 or 5 days, with 1 in 4 Saturday mornings and approximately 1 in 10 nights and weekends on call.
Work–life balance is a genuine priority here. You’ll benefit from a competitive salary, generous holiday allowance, and strong CPD support to help you continue developing your equine interests and expertise. Our flexible rota patterns are designed to work around real life — whether that’s school commitments, reduced hours during holidays, or a working pattern that better suits your lifestyle, we’re happy to fix or flex rotas wherever possible.
Team & Facilities
You’ll be joining a supportive, friendly and experienced team that values collaboration, mentorship, and a positive working culture. The wider clinical team includes 17 Veterinary Surgeons, 14 Registered Veterinary Nurses, and 20 dedicated support staff, with BVRA-registered members and certificate holders within the group.
This equine-only role offers a varied and rewarding caseload, combining ambulatory work in the field with access to excellent facilities and modern diagnostic equipment, enabling you to practice high-quality, progressive equine medicine. You’ll be supported by a knowledgeable team and a learning-focused environment where professional development is actively encouraged and your ideas are valued.
Life on the Isle of Man
Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, rugged coastlines, and open countryside, the Isle of Man offers a truly special way of life. You’ll become part of a welcoming, close-knit community with a vibrant cultural scene — from the world-famous TT races and music festivals to live shows, local breweries, and a thriving food scene. With endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including equestrian activities, cycling, wild swimming, and fitness, it’s easy to build a life here that’s as fulfilling outside of work as it is within it.
