Veterinary Surgeon, Island Veterinary Associates, Bloxwich


At Island Veterinary Associates, we're seeking a skilled Veterinary Surgeon to join our dynamic team  on a permanent basis. In this role, you’ll be split between our branches in Bloxwich and Wombourne. This role would involve a well balanced split between surgery and medicine. However, this would suit a candidate that has a particular interest in surgery. We’re more than happy to offer candidates full certificate support. 

Rota patterns that work for you


Our people are at the heart of everything that we do, that’s why we know that work-life balance is vital in supporting our people to be their best selves. Ideally, we’re looking for someone to work 40 hours per week over 4 days, along with 1:4 Saturdays at Wombourne (08:30 – 13:00). 

A bit about us


We are a friendly team that works well together. Our fantastic team is composed of 5 Vets, 6 RVNs, 3 Senior RVNs and 6 VCAs. Both sites are equipped with Xray with automatic processor, Ultrasound Scanner, Blood chemistry & haematology, Dental unit, multiparameter, Idexx Lab equipment, fully equipped theatre and an excellent Ultrasound unit.

Here’s what the team have to say


“I started at Island Vets in 2013 after being in the profession for 30 years I felt I wanted to settle down in a practice that had a local community and a team environment.
I have been at Island for 11 years and in that time, I have taken on several roles and developed a close relationship with our clients and felt part of a work family for all that time. The past 8 years I have held the position of branch manager at the Wombourne and Gornal practice and I have always felt fully supported in my progression and could not imagine working anywhere else. Work life balance is very high on our priority list at Island, and we promote this and accommodate this wherever possible.”- Sarah, Branch Manager
