Opportunities for Mixed and / or 100% Equine Vets for our growing practice….
Isabelle Vets in Guernsey. Permanent contracts available. Flexible working hours.
Isabelle Vets is looking for a Mixed & Equine Veterinary Surgeon to join our growing team in Guernsey.
This is a particularly exciting time to join us. We are currently building a brand-new veterinary hospital at Garenne Park, due to open in January 2027, with facilities designed to support both small animal and equine patients.
Guernsey is a beautiful island, boasting a rich heritage and culture plus a laid-back atmosphere. It has an abundance of nature reserves, with stunning cliff walks and beaches – a truly great place to enjoy the outdoors. Residents enjoy an excellent standard of living, and the local schools are of a high standard. Islanders also benefit from a private healthcare system.
There are good transport links to the UK with flight times from as little as 40 minutes or ferry sailings from just 3 hours.
If you enjoy variety, want to maintain a broad skill set and like the idea of helping shape a growing service, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Something new is coming! Our new hospital will include:
- Six consulting rooms
- Four operating theatres
- CT and X-ray
- Dental facilities
- Dedicated small animal hospitalisation
- Dedicated equine hospital facilities and stabling
- Modern inpatient facilities
- 24-hour veterinary care
You’ll have the opportunity to work across both areas of the practice while developing your own clinical interests.
About the role
We are looking for a Vet who genuinely enjoys the variety that a mixed role offers.
You might be consulting small animal patients one day and seeing equine cases the next. The exact balance can be shaped around your skills, interests and experience.
Whether you are already working in mixed practice or are a Small Animal or Equine Vet looking to broaden your experience, we would be interested in speaking with you.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, collaborative and keen to be part of a team that is building something exciting for the future.
Why Isabelle Vets?
Isabelle Vets has been part of the Guernsey community for over 100 years. You’ll be joining an established practice with a strong local reputation, but at a time when we’re investing heavily in our future.
The new hospital provides an opportunity to develop our services, introduce new facilities and provide an even greater level of care to our patients.
For a Vet who enjoys variety and wants to have a genuine influence on the direction of a growing service, this is an opportunity not to miss.
And outside work, Guernsey offers beautiful beaches, countryside, outdoor activities and a fantastic quality of life.
