Shape the Future of Veterinary Dentistry at MyVets Lancashire

Are you a Veterinary Surgeon with a passion for dentistry—or looking to develop one?

MyVets Lancashire, part of IVC Evidensia, is offering an exciting opportunity to join our team as part of a developing dentistry-focused service, where you can play a key role in shaping and delivering high-quality dental care.

This is more than a standard GP role—it's a chance to build your clinical interest in dentistry within a supportive, forward-thinking environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Be part of a dedicated and growing dentistry service
  • Work with modern dental equipment, including dental radiography
  • Develop your skills in dental procedures, imaging, and treatment planning
  • Play a key role in promoting proactive dental care and best practice
  • Contribute to a more structured and efficient dental workflow
  • Additional qualifications in Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery are not required, but this role would particularly suit a vet working towards—or holding—a dental certificate.

Your Role

You will enjoy a varied caseload with a balance of:

  • Consultations – including identifying and advising on dental cases
  • Surgery – with opportunities to increase your dental caseload
  • Dentistry – from routine procedures through to more advanced cases as you develop

You’ll be supported by an experienced team who are committed to clinical collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing.

The Hours

  • 40 hours per week over 4 days (8am-7pm)
  • 1 in 5 Saturdays (8am-2pm)
  • No OOH or bank holidays
  • Open to part-time and flexible working patterns

You Might Be a Great Fit If…

  • A Veterinary degree and registration (or eligibility to register) with the RCVS
  • Experience working in clinical practice with growing confidence in routine medical and surgical cases
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with clients and colleagues
  • A proactive approach to learning, with openness to feedback and development
  • Professionalism, reliability, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively

How We’ll Support You

  • 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 & 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 & RCVS fees
  • Cycle to Work and Green Car schemes (eligibility applies)
  • Retail discounts and cashback offers
  • Reduced‑cost veterinary care for your own pets

Up to £65,000 pa DOE
