Typically, our full time Vets work 4 days a week between the hours of 9am-7pm Monday to Friday. However, as there is no weekend or out of hours work required if offers a great work life balance.
Although this is a sole charge role, as we are part of a larger group there is always support and advice available from our supportive team.
The Veterinary Clinic Great Barr has a very close-knit team and is based in Birmingham, which is the youngest city in Europe with more Michelin restaurants than any other city in the UK apart from London and a thriving music scene, multicultural Brum really is the place to be! There are also more miles of canals than in Venice!

Our group of PSS accredited clinics have been established both independently and as part of our TVC group for well over 30 years and many staff are still with us. Each of our clinics have designated nursing Branch Leads to allow you to concentrate on being a Vet although management opportunities are available.
Lab/surgical/dental facilities are standard within each branch, and we also have access to dental x-ray/ultrasonography/ophthalmic and orthopaedic kit across the group. We also have excellent relationships with other clinic groups and can refer & offer further learning within our local area.
We are an encouraging group who are happy to fund certificates and specific interests and firmly believe in further learning for everyone. We hold monthly Vet meetings; a WhatsApp clinical discussion group and colleagues are only ever a phone call away. Alongside other local clinic groups we have access to certificate holders and the ability to offer further learning across various disciplines due to the close relationships we have in our local area.
