Find flexibility in a role with no out-of-hours or weekends
The Veterinary Clinic, West Bromwich has a fantastic opportunity for a veterinary surgeon to join our well-established practice. You will see a varied caseload in a busy practice with a combination of consults and surgery.
In addition to our comprehensive welcome package, we have accommodation above the clinic and will relocate a vet rent and utility free for three months.

We proudly offer flexible working hours as a part of our commitment to supporting our employees in achieving work-life balance. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to manage their work schedules in a way that suits their individual needs, whether it's to accommodate family commitments, pursue personal interests, or simply maintain a busy and fulfilling lifestyle.
We strongly encourage our people to pursue any specific interests and a big part of our ethos is the belief in further learning for everyone, and we have opportunities to progress into leadership. As a team, we hold monthly vet meetings, a WhatsApp clinical discussion group and colleagues are only ever a phone call away should you need them.
Our close-knit group of PSS accredited clinics have been established both independently and as part of our larger group for well over 30 years and many staff are still with us. Due to being well-established, we have excellent relationships with other clinical groups in the area. We pride ourselves on being able to deliver a high standard of care, to help us do that we have access to excellent facilities across the group.
