As a proud member of Inspire vet care, Ark House are looking for talent to join the team!

 

Inspire vet care is the UK and Europe’s leading veterinary care group, made up of over 900 practices and referral hospitals, united by a shared purpose of happier animals, happier owners. 

 

At inspire vet care, we believe careers should be built without limits. Our people are supported to make more clinical impact, access more career opportunities, and play an active role in their local and professional communities. Through investment in learning, innovation, and wellbeing, we create environments where our teams can grow in confidence, capability, and fulfilment—at every stage of their career. 

 

 

As a Primary Care Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll work collaboratively with the wider practice team to deliver a high standard of patient and client care across a varied and rewarding caseload. 
 
You’ll continue to develop your clinical skills and interests while sharing your knowledge and experience with colleagues, contributing positively to the clinical culture of the practice. You’ll be an integral member of the clinical team, delivering excellent care and supporting the ongoing development of those around you. 

 

 

Our patients include cats, dogs, rabbits, small furries and the occasional exotic or wildlife case brought in by our community-minded clients. We offer a great balance between consults and surgeries, with procedures typically including routine spays, castrates, lumpectomies, dentals and ECC work when required. We benefit from a wealth of in-house experience but also maintain excellent relationships with local practices to refer cases when appropriate.

 

 

Our single-site practice sits within a converted house right in the town centre and is currently undergoing a renovation to give it a fresh new feel. Inside, you’ll find a spacious reception area, four consult rooms including a dedicated RVN room and another with a moveable wall for added flexibility. The practice benefits from a well-organised dispensary behind reception, prep area, theatre, separate cat and dog wards, a dedicated dental suite with dental X-ray, an X-ray room, and a lab equipped with a full IDEXX suite and a new microscope. There are also quiet office spaces for admin and a comfortable staff area with kitchen facilities, tea and coffee, weekly fruit deliveries and a good supply of snacks. On-site parking makes life that little bit easier too.

 

You’ll have access to everything you’d expect from a modern first-opinion practice, including X-ray, dental X-ray, ultrasound and a flexible endoscope. We’re looking for a vet who is confident in surgery and comfortable working sole charge when needed, supported by a capable, experienced nursing team.
