Unicorn vets, part of ivc, is looking for an experienced Veterinary Surgeon who enjoys clinical autonomy, takes pride in leading a team, and is excited by the chance to influence the future direction of a practice while delivering outstanding patient care.

The practice is well-equipped with digital radiography, an in-house laboratory, ultrasound with echocardiography capabilities, endoscopy, capnography, tonometry, and ECG, providing everything needed to deliver a high standard of care.

As a sole charge position, this role is perfect for a confident vet who enjoys making clinical decisions independently. You'll be supported day-to-day by two experienced RVNs and a dedicated receptionist, as well as benefiting from the wider support network of the group and neighbouring practices. Professional development is actively encouraged, with support available for certificates and the pursuit of individual clinical interests.
