About the Practice

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established independent small animal practice in the West Midlands, seeking an experienced and ambitious Veterinary Surgeon to join their talented and supportive team. The practice operates across two sites (just 5 miles apart):

• One site, a 24-hour hospital with a dedicated night team
• The other with a specialist orthopaedic suite

You'll have the flexibility to be based at one site or work across both, depending on your preference.

You'll be working in a forward-thinking environment with a strong commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and continuous investment in new technologies. Facilities include:

• Referral-level ultrasound with full canine and feline cardiology packages
• Fully equipped orthopaedic suite
• Dental X-ray and advanced surgical equipment

With a varied and exciting caseload - from routine consultations to complex emergency surgeries - this role offers excellent opportunities to develop your clinical expertise in line with your personal interests.

The practice places great importance on work-life balance: diaries are carefully managed, with consults ending 30 minutes before shift finish, and dedicated time allocated for case workups and client communication.

You'll be joining a collaborative and diverse team of vets, nurses, and support staff who share a passion for gold-standard patient care and professional development. The team includes vets and nurses currently studying towards further qualifications in Dentistry, Cardiology, Ultrasonography, ECC, and Schedule 3 Nursing. You'll also work alongside a senior vet who is a Cambridge Approved BOAS assessor, with advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures (including BOAS, entropion, cherry eye, and cruciate repairs) carried out in-house.
