Permanent Veteriary Surgeon
The Veterinary Clinic, Great Barr
The Veterinary Clinic is seeking a skilled Veterinary Surgeon to join our esteemed team at our Great Barr site. This role offers a stimulating blend of consultations and surgical procedures, providing ample opportunities for professional growth and development. The role would involve a well balanced split between surgery and medicine, and can even be tailored to your own clinical interests. This role would be a sole charge position, so we are looking for candidates that feel confident in this. We're thrilled to offer candidates a relocation allowance of up to £5000, and a welcome bonus of up to £5000 (pro rata).
We would love to hear from those who will demonstrate a high standard of communication, utilising both verbal and written methods effectively. There will be an expectation of maintaining patient records, prescriptions, and lab reporting. Additionally, the ability to engage in comprehensive discussions with clients regarding patient progress, treatment options, and associated costs is crucial to ensure transparency and satisfaction.

Typically, our full time Vets work 4 days a week between the hours of 9:00am-19:00pm Monday to Friday. However, as there is no weekend or out of hours work required it offers a great work life balance.
