“Island VetCare is a fantastic practice, thanks to its supportive and experienced team. As a new graduate, I felt welcomed and guided from day one. The practice boasts high-quality equipment, including endoscopes and a CT scanner, and regularly hosts visiting specialists, making every day exciting with complex cases. Plus, living on the stunning Isle of Wight is a bonus! The only reason I left was relocating to the Midlands—finding another job as good as this one was the hardest part.”
Above is a quote from Jess, who joined us 5 years ago as a new grad. She has recently left to pursue her passion in equine eventing in the Midlands but wanted to offer these words to anyone who is considering applying for the role.
