Are you an experienced Small Animal Vet looking for a role with more variety, stronger case continuity and a genuinely different lifestyle?

We are working with a well-established IVC Evidensia practice group on the Isle of Man, who are looking to welcome an experienced Small Animal Veterinary Surgeon to their team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants the clinical interest of a varied caseload, the support of a large experienced team, and the lifestyle benefits that come with island living.

The Practice

This is a large, well-established veterinary group with 5 branches covering the whole island, offering a broad range of veterinary services across the Isle of Man.

You would be joining a supportive team of:

  • 11 Veterinary Surgeons

  • 16 Veterinary Nurses

  • 3 certificate holders already in practice

  • 2 further certificates currently being undertaken

The team offers a strong mix of experience, collaboration and clinical support, making this a great environment for a vet who wants to keep developing while still having autonomy in their day-to-day work.

The Role

This is a varied small animal role with excellent case continuity and the opportunity to build lasting relationships with clients and patients.

You can expect:

  • A varied small animal caseload

  • Excellent case continuity

  • Support from an experienced clinical team

  • Certificate support encouraged

  • 4-day working week

  • Other working patterns considered

  • OOH on-call rota requirement

This could suit a vet who enjoys proper first opinion work, continuity, client relationships and the chance to work cases up, while still having the backing of a larger group.

Why the Isle of Man?

The Isle of Man offers something very different from the usual mainland UK practice move.

With beautiful beaches, open countryside, a strong community feel and a slower pace of life, it can be a brilliant option for someone who wants a better lifestyle without stepping away from good clinical work.

The Isle of Man also offers an attractive tax position, with income tax bands capped at 21%, which can be a real draw for vets considering relocation.

Package

  • Salary up to £65,000 depending on experience

  • 4-day week

  • Alternative working patterns considered

  • Accommodation provided for an initial settling-in period

  • Certificate support

  • Large, experienced veterinary and nursing team

  • Varied island-wide caseload

  • OOH on-call rota

Who This Would Suit

This could be a great move for a Small Animal Vet who is:

  • Looking for more variety and case continuity

  • Interested in relocating to the Isle of Man

  • Keen to join a supportive, experienced team

  • Looking for certificate support and development

  • Wanting a better lifestyle outside mainland UK

  • Ready for something a bit different from a standard small animal role
