Veterinary Surgeon - Equine

£65k per annum

Kernow Veterinary Group - Bodmin Salary up to £65,000 DOE

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

The team at Kernow Equine, part of Inspiring Vet Care, are looking for an experienced Equine Veterinary Surgeon to join our friendly and supportive team.

Working across both ambulatory and clinic-based cases, this is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a varied and rewarding caseload, supported by an experienced team who are passionate about providing excellent care for their patients.

A Varied Caseload, From Field to Clinic

No two days are quite the same at Kernow. You'll work with a diverse range of horses, from showjumpers and breeding stock to much-loved happy hackers, giving you plenty of variety in your day-to-day work.

The role combines first-opinion ambulatory work with clinic-based cases, covering everything from colic and wounds to lameness investigations and sarcoid treatments. It's a great opportunity to use your experience across a broad range of equine medicine while building lasting relationships with clients and their horses.

Excellent Facilities and Equipment

We have an impressive range of diagnostic and treatment equipment to support you in delivering the highest standard of care. This includes digital and portable radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, gastroscopy, surgical laser, motorised dental equipment and an MRI unit.

Our hospital facilities include knockdown and theatre facilities, stocks, a lunge pen and dedicated stabling for our patients, allowing us to manage a wide range of cases in-house.

We also benefit from visiting specialists in Surgery and Equine Dentistry, bringing additional expertise into the practice and providing opportunities to develop your own knowledge and clinical interests.

A Supportive Team That Works Together

You'll be joining a friendly and experienced team of Vets and VCAs, supported by our dedicated Client Care Team and Director of Operations and Practice. We pride ourselves on working collaboratively, sharing knowledge and supporting one another to provide the best possible care.

A Working Week That Gives You Time to Recharge

We're ideally looking for a full-time vet working 40 hours across four days, giving you a day off each week.

You'll also share our out-of-hours and weekend rota, currently on a 1:4 basis.

Due to travel involved a full driving license is essential.

How We’ll Support You

At inspiring vet care, we’re committed to supporting your ongoing development and wellbeing. When you join us, you’ll benefit from:

  • Clear career pathways with progression opportunities across primary care, referral, leadership and specialist roles
  • Funded learning and development, including CPD allowance and access to IVC academy training centres and role-relevant courses
  • £1,250 annual Care Fund for every vet
  • Access to mentors, regional clinical coaches and peer networks
  • Support to develop clinical interests and expand your capabilities
  • A collaborative, values-led culture focused on care, community and continuous improvement

What We Offer Our Team

  • 6.6 weeks’ holiday, including bank holidays
  • Private medical insurance
  • Enhanced family leave and pay across maternity, paternity, adoption and surrogacy
  • BVA membership, VDS cover and RCVS fees
  • Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes, eligibility applies
  • Retail discounts and cashback offers
