At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Here at Hillman Vets, it's been an exciting period of growth following the acquisition of Lydon & Scott Vets into our family. As a result of this growth, we're looking for a permanent Veterinary Surgeon to join our team at the Lydon branch. The role offers a well-balanced caseload of both surgery and medicine. The position will be based primarily at the Lydon site, although there will occasionally be a requirement to provide cover at our Scott (Great Barr) branch.

About us

Our practice is fully equipped with the modern facilities you'd expect, including digital X-ray (including SignalPET AI-assisted interpretation), ultrasound, an IM3 dental machine, and an in-house laboratory, to name just a few. You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team consisting of 1.5 vets, 2 RVNs, and 1 receptionist.
