Veterinary Surgeon - Farm

Hampshire, United Kingdom

If you are looking or variety then this is the role for you... Varied and interesting caseload and located on the tropical Isle of Wight Unique and flexible role available for a farm vet with a passion for proactive livestock health and welfare and sustainable food production. Our client is looking to recruit a motivated, enthusiastic vet to support their wonderful farm clients on the beautiful Isle of Wight. Maybe you’d be interested in dipping your toe into small animal work in a supportive and friendly environment alongside a variety of farm work? they are looking to support your journey.  The Isle of Wight is a UNESCO biosphere - recognised as a unique natural and cultural environment. It’s a great place to live and work - with surf, sea swimming, mountain bike riding and sea eagles on your doorstep as well as easy access to cross channel ports, airports and direct trains from Portsmouth and Southampton to central London.Ideally they are looking for someone with some experience who’d like to drive the farm side of the practice forward, however also open to enquiries from newer graduates and are committed to supporting all members of clinical staff.  The farm side of their practice looks after the 10,000 cattle on the Island - mostly beef as well as about 30,000 breeding ewes. Many of  their clients are working towards greater sustainability in their enterprises and they believe that as Vets we have a big role to play in empowering and supporting these farms in their transition. They offer regular client meetings - with recent topics including integrated parasite management, dung beetle safaris (!), anti-microbial stewardship and heifer selection. - This has been well received within the community and they are looking to do more of this. They will support you through a generous CPD budget as well as the usual farm practice toys. They are in a 48 month Tb testing parish and are currently training an ATT so your time can be spent on clinical work with very little routine testing. Out of hours is currently a quiet 1 in 4 rota.They have a varied caseload including goats, camelids, the occasional pig and back yard chickens. The practice employs 16 vets with a wide variety of specialisms so if you’re secretly harbouring a passion for raptors, capuchin monkeys or tapirs, they are  happy to accommodate that - if not then there’s no pressure to see the multitude of exotics that pass through the clinic! Clinical freedom is an important part of our ethos, interested, then we would love to hear from you.
