This is an established independent practice comprising of a friendly team of 6 Vets and 6 Nurses along with supporting nonclinical staff.

They are located within a commute of both Worcester, Birmingham, and the Cotswolds.

They are a supportive and passionate veterinary practice dedicated to providing high quality veterinary care and excellent customer service to their clients. They offer 15 minutes consultations, so it means they spend quality time with both the pet and the client.

Due to the level of support available this role would ideally suit either a one-year qualified Veterinary Surgeon or a new graduate surgeon. There would be plenty of ongoing training and support available to develop the surgeon's clinical skills and knowledge. All Vets are encouraged to work up their cases and they are offered clinical freedom to do so however there is support there and often there are case discussions within the practice which provides support.
