Are you wanting a step up or to step into a Senior Vet position with an engaged and progressive team? This role gives you the opportunity to experience leadership within our group as Temporary Clinical lead – whilst your role as Senior Veterinary Surgeon is permanent. This really gives you the opportunity to fully embrace what leadership is like, clear in the knowledge that you will return to the Senior Veterinary Surgeon.

At IVC Evidensia, we’re driven by the passion and commitment of our people – across clinical, operational, and support teams. With over 2,500 clinics and hospitals in 20 countries and around 41,000 employees, we work together to care for roughly 25,000 animals daily. Rowe Yate is a practice where we use ultrasound, X‑ray imaging and dental equipment, offering general surgery at a high level and very little routine case referral.

You will work alongside a team of nine vets, some holding or working toward advanced practitioner status, supported by nurses, care assistants and an admin team. The wider Rowe network includes over 40 first‑opinion vets and 10 referral vets across seven sites.

Our full‑time role works a 4‑day a week rota. You will manage inpatients and emergency cases at our ECC hospital alongside two other vets, gaining valuable exposure to ECC medicine. The weekend commitment is 8 AM‑6 PM on a 1:9 ratio. Your other days run 8:30 AM‑7 PM, with one early finish by 4:30 PM. We offer flexibility for those with additional commitments and can work with you to accommodate personal needs.
